... Basically there are a bunch of units depending on what you are measuring there are units like the Bq(Becquerel) that measure how many decay events occur per unit time, there are measurements that determine how much radiation is passing through an area like R(Roentgen) and finally there are meas...

Breaking up a massive Wedge with so few ships. That´ll be interesting to see...

As for the image, it is an estimate of distribution of material by wind currents, with no reference to the amount released or decay/absorption by the ocean over time, and it illustrates why I made my statement about having to pack it up and ship it over. The material spreads out, dilutes, and takes...

Sorry I offended you...I regard this as a very serious matter Me too. ;) Please be more careful. Blame it on the language-barrier. 8-) Assuming a point source at the core, radiation falls off with the square, not the cube of distance. 3.6 Sv/h at 10 m. The core, and especially the pool, are not poi...

That tone is pretty mild for Mjolnir. Well, candidate #1 for the "foe-button". 8-) :mrgreen: What I was trying to say in a more polite way was essentially the same thing he said in much more detail: the image you posted is pretty obviously inaccurate. It would have been helpful if you had posted a ...

(Something wrong with you? Why the harsh tone?) You posted a hoax image that portrays the western half of the US having lethal exposures of radiation in 10 days, a wild, ridiculous exaggeration. The person who made that image and apparently most of the people writing for that site are writing blata...

I don't think winds are quite that predictable. Well, a part of the radiation/particles will follow the westerlies . So in case they reach america i´d be interested in data. ;) Edit: So, now i found a still of the animation: http://blog.alexanderhiggins.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/Official-UN-Ja...

That image is a hoax. It's complete nonsense. The units don't even make sense...the rad is a unit of absorbed radiation, and the numbers are wildly out of touch with reality. (Something wrong with you? Why the harsh tone?) The one i wanted to show at first was a dynamic flash animation, so i have n...

No need to pack:

3 µSv/h is only about 10x worldwide average background (2.4 mSv/year, 0.3 µSv/h), and could have been a wide variety of things... On a typical day with winds from north-west, ambient in Hamburg was a normal 0,04µSv/h. After i got a call, i drove to Tespe, just southeast of NPP Kruemmel. Radiationle...

Sorry for posting here, but the "general discussion"-forum is on maintenance. And no, i don´t want to stir up panic (Arioch, if you don´t want to have a discussion on this, please feel free to cancel it). But looking on the recent events in Fukushima i´d like to know if some of you living near the a...

About 40 minutes after sunset, to the west.
Now we just need eyes with better resolution.

First off, the nature of the war. The idea that this is a border skirmish, rather than a full-scale war is an interesting idea that didn't occur to me. So I've decided that this is the start of a war the humans have planned for some time. Hm. If they planned it, they have the initiative. To keep it...

First you have to gain air- and space-superiority. As long as the enemy has a big fleet there´s no way to succeed in an invasion.
Once established, you flood the planet with killer-robots and drones before sending down human forces.

About the same amount of time it took Cassini to reach far more distant Saturn. Celestial mechanics, fascinating.

hi hi Welcome aboard! It looks like the new board is already serving its purpose. :) Welcome! But be warned: here be dragons. Thanks for the warm welcome! And i´m fine with dragons. ;) freeeesh meeeat! Considering my age i take it as a compliment. :mrgreen: But don´t worry (@all), though i like rea...

Yess! It works! I tried to register on the other Forum long time ago, but it failed. So i kept just lurking. ;) I follow Outsider since i stumbled over a link years ago, IIRC it was page 7 then (and there was also a sidekickstory...). And sorry if my engrish is funny, i´m not a native. ;) bg, Harry ...
