Yeah, but when they're so obvious, nobody is going to attack them thinking they're the real thing? You don't have much strategic thinking, do you Nico?

maybe that is a tactic? who knows... there are lots of decoys all around and I would bet that not a lot of thinking goes into all of them.

erm Yanukovych was ousted in a coup d'état.



Same old shyte that has been debunked how many times now Nico? You need to shred the debunked stuff the Kremlin sends you.

Your body has a natural mechanism to repair its DNA. It's not a big concern.
The biggest question is cancer, thyroid cancer in particular.

The irreversible DNA damage occurs at enormously high dosages..
It's true that the body can repair itself to some extend. However, extensive radiation damage can result in various types of cancers and other conditions.

The risk at low dose radiation is tiny, radiotherapy easily exceed the dosage that is considered "safe" often by a factor of 100.

I have never seen an SA decoy. The SA war used a blitskrieg strategy and decoys are notoriously slow.
I remember a few Mirage F1 decoys as a kid. I used to play on one that was brought back from the border.

Of course Nico. You know far better than medical professionals that radiation is not dangerous to DNA. Liar. Again.

I quoted your the medical professionals and cancer researches that questioned the LNT model. I am only showing what they are showing.

Great military tactic that. Put up decoys the enemy knows are decoys so that the enemy doesn't attack them.

You're lucky you never sat the tests to join any military Nico. You would have been the tea time discussion by giggling medical staff.

So why aren't you living in a high radiation area then Nico? Try Sellafield in the UK.

Sellafield is the largest nuclear site in Europe and the most complicated nuclear site in the world. By its own admission, it is home to one of the largest inventories of untreated waste ...

I looked into IQ tests years ago, the US miltiary used them extensively. Generally speaking results from 1 test correlates with another.

All military recruits must take the Armed Services Vocational Aptitude Battery (ASVAB) to qualify for enlistment. The ASVAB is essentially an IQ test (correlation = 0.8). The ASVAB predicts SAT scores (correlation = .82). And it correlates with ACT scores (0.77).

To qualify, recruits must score higher than roughly one-third of all who take the ASVAB. The lowest acceptable percentile score to join is 36 for the Air Force, 35 for the Navy, 32 for the Marine Corps, and 31 for the Army.


By definition, the worst test taker who makes it into the military still scores higher than one-third of his or her peers. The military intentionally slices off the bottom third of test-takers, not allowing them to join.

Moral quandaries aside, this means that the military selects for the upper two-thirds of ASVAB test takers. Another study found that among those who finish high school, about 1 in 4 (23%) people do not attain the minimum ASVAB score to join any branch of the military.
Essentially the US military targets the upper 70% of the IQ spectrum, it's above average, but nothing substantial.

More evidence of the quality of America's enlisted forces comes from the standardized Armed Forces Qualifying Test (AFQT) that the military administers to all recruits. Over two-thirds of enlisted recruits scored above the 50th percentile on the AFQT. The military tightly restricts how many recruits it accepts with scores below the 30th percentile, and only 2.3 percent of recruits in 2007 scored between the 21st and 30th percentiles (Category IVA; see Chart 3). The military does not accept any recruits in the bottom 20 percent.

High waste areas doesn't have a lot of working opportunities? I have worked however on Cigeo in France and been to LaHarve (where they store the high end waste)
