the SL1 nuclear accident 
“Stationary Low-Power Reactor Number One, also known as SL-1 or the Argonne Low Power Reactor (ALPR), was a United States Army experimental nuclear reactor in the western United States at the National Reactor Testing Station (NRTS)”
“It experienced a meltdown and steam explosion on the night of January 3, 1961, killing all three of its young military operators, and pinning one of them [Richard Legg] to the ceiling of the facility with a reactor vessel plug.”

America’s worst nuclear accident: Three Mile Island
“In retrospect, it’s not surprising that the memory of Three Mile Island is so negative, and so inaccurate.”

Antinuclear propaganda is not just deliberately misleading, but horrifically cruel.
That day, Japan was hit with the 5th-strongest earthquake ever recorded, but the real legacy of this disaster is the ensuing nuclear disaster: a series of equipment failures, nuclear meltdowns and releases of radioactive materials from the Fukushima I Nuclear Power Plant.
Say it louder for the people in the back : the twenty thousand people who died in the earthquake and tsunami are irrelevant and won’t be missed. The real disaster was the nuclear power station accident that failed to expose anybody to dangerous amounts of radioactivity.

13 years ago : Fukushima
Following a major earthquake, a 15-metre tsunami disabled the power supply and cooling of three Fukushima Daiichi reactors, causing a nuclear accident beginning on 11 March 2011. All three cores largely melted in the first three days. The accident was rated level 7 on the International Nuclear and Radiological Event Scale, due to high radioactive releases over days 4 to 6, eventually a total of…

Stained glass windows in the administrative building of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant.
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
The Chernobyl Nuclear Power Plant was one of the largest in the Soviet Union and the poster child of the Soviet nuclear power industry. As such, little expense was spared on details like these windows.
The Soviet Union often used motifs in abstract art to promote Communism and laude their successes.

sorry it's still so funny that crypto and nfts like exploded and died after all that nonsense pyramid scheme scam shit and superbowl ads and bitcoin mining rigs ruining everything including the environment and it was all for nothing, it didn't change the world it didn't revolutionize anything it was all a complete scam and what remains of it still is. like blockchain tech isn't going anywhere it's probably going to exist in some capacity for the foreseeable future and crypto in general still exists (and existed before it became mainstream popular) but the vast majority of nfts, cryptocurrencies, etc are completely and utterly worthless now, shut down services, crashed markets and exchanges, etc. the only sad things are the people left holding the bag whose lives were ruined bc they got sucked into the scam and there's no justice or recompense + the sheer amt of environmental damage caused by this whole thing

Palomares, Spain. In 1966 two American military airplanes collided in flight and 4 thermonuclear bombs fell to the ground. Two of them released 20kg Plutonium. Today, 57 years later, the US government has promised to remove the contaminated soil and carry it to America.

I know it is in part me not being the target audience but it is so funny to me when you see those "are your parents divorced" polls on tumblr that have zero options for "my parents aren't married"
you are functionally indistinguishable from small children who think marriage is where babies come from
