Eskom plans to restart Koeberg from tonight

[Lupus]

Look at all that sexy energy it'll be releasing.

Not how reactors meltdown , also uranium vs plutonium so different reactions

 

[Lupus]

Hopefully even less load shedding for Cape Town now

Why it's tied to the Eskom grid not CPTs, so it will be everyone not CPT

 

[SilverCode]

Hasn't Eskom heard of No Deploy Fridays?

 

["D"]

Koebaai Mosselbaai!

 

[Kola-CT]

Hasn't Eskom heard of No Deploy Fridays?

Indeed, HKGK...

Crapitec will be forgotten by tomorrow if the Friday deployment goes wrong.

I wanted to go and buy materials for the workshop tomorrow, maybe I should wait till Monday.

 

[daveza]

Is it on yet ?

 

[RedViking]

Is it on yet ?

Yap, but only Capitec went down.

 

[2023]

No spelling mistake though.

Are you saying that so long as the word you get wrong is the correct spelling for a different word, it's not a spelling mistake?

So do I get a free pass on past/passed and there/their now?

 

[dualmeister]

Still here

 

[RedViking]

Still here

Capitec still offline?

Hate to break it to you, if Koeberg goes Chernobyl, the WC is not habitable for a 1000 years.

I'll take my chances with a lifetime of teeny tiny incremental doses.

Hate to break it to you, but the exclusion zone is 2700km2( there is actually plans to redraw the zone to reflect declining radioactivity) the western cape is 129 000km2 unless I am mistaken, 129 000km2 is bigger, sure there will be fallout, but considering the cape doctor and fallout will be blown away from cape town.The most contaminated area is around the reactor and that is 30km radius around it, which is a restricted area.

If it does go up in smoke, the "entire" western cape, not likely.The exlcusion zone will fit 47+- times into the western cape, just to give you some idea of just how small the area is. Additionally a nuclear meltdown disbursal is different when compared with a nuclear bomb, while the initial disbursal will be even around the immediate area after that weather conditions will dictate disbursal as well as the weight of the particles. If you actually have a look at the zone you will see exactly that.

It is a myth a nuclear plant can explode like a nuclear bomb, nuclear bomb uses different materials and configurations, so even if you were to some how sabotage a plant with a bomb, you won't be seeing a flash of light and a mushroom cloud, not even with a meltdown.

Not to mention most nuclear bombs are exploded in the air for maximum destruction, also a mushroom cloud can be caused by any large explosion not only limited to nuclear

Come on...start you slag....

Also the effects on people and nature after Chernoybl are still less than those are with a normal run coal plant, or a cobalt mine waste.

Capitec still offline?

Dunno. I bank with a real bank.

 

[Brian_G]

So, LS cancelled??

You referred to a 'spell check'. Which in this case it won't pick up. Yes ,the incorrect word was used.

Spelling refers to the correct arrangement of letters to form a word. When those letters aren't formed correctly, then the word isn't spelled correctly and its meaning will not make sense. Grammar refers to the correct arrangement of words to form a sentence.

Lol most people aren't alive or heading in the opposite direction of a mushroom cloud....... But wouldn't mind one in the western cape, bad drivers, bad rugby team, wouldn't mind seeing those smug faces, devolve into seer terror......they are so special with their mountain.....

You can detonate a nuclear bomb on the ground, it will absorb quite a lot of the energy, but it still cause massive scale destruction regardless, the shock wave is no joke. The secondary reason to detonate in the air, the electromagnetic pulse.

You don't get the characteristic mushroom cloud if it's a ground burst

I don't think that's right. Mushroom cloud has been known from large surface explosions and even volcanic eruptions. High localised heat ~ rapidly rising air + smoke + water vapor = column/stem ~ levels out at altitude when pressures of stem and surrounding air begin to equalise.
