As another Lame Cherry exclusive in matter anti matter.
We have been hearing a great deal since George W. Bush upped the tactical nuclear arsenal for America, but in an article I came across below, Los Alamos, where America makes it's nukes is not owned by Americans, but by 3 companies for profit.
The incident below is something that took place, and is something most have no idea of. Apparently some DEI Wokesters got it into their heads to impress their owners, and gathered a pile of plutonium rods. That is a big NO NO, as the radiation is extreme and it will start a radiation burst.
Technicians at the government's Los Alamos National Laboratory settled on what seemed like a surefire way to win praise from their bosses in August 2011: In a hi-tech testing and manufacturing building pivotal to sustaining America's nuclear arsenal, they gathered eight rods painstakingly crafted out of plutonium, and positioned them side-by-side on a table to photograph how nice they looked.
At many jobs, this would be innocent bragging. But plutonium is the unstable, radioactive, man-made fuel of a nuclear explosion, and it isn't amenable to showboating. When too much is put in one place, it becomes "critical" and begins to fission uncontrollably, spontaneously sparking a nuclear chain reaction, which releases energy and generates a deadly burst of radiation.
The resulting blue glow — known as Cherenkov radiation — has accidentally and abruptly flashed at least 60 times since the dawn of the nuclear age, signaling an instantaneous nuclear charge and causing a total of 21 agonizing deaths. So keeping bits of plutonium far apart is one of the bedrock rules that those working on the nuclear arsenal are supposed to follow to prevent workplace accidents. It's Physics 101 for nuclear scientists, but has sometimes been ignored at Los Alamos.
An incident like the above happened in Japan. This is what the person looked like as they disintegrated.
This is what Cherenkov radiation is. One burst is all it takes, just a second or a few seconds, and this is what happens in 58 days.......and or 9 days.
On the day of the accident, Slotin's screwdriver slipped outward a fraction of an inch while he was lowering the top reflector, allowing the reflector to fall into place around the core. Instantly, there was a flash of light; the core had become supercritical, releasing an intense burst of neutron radiation, the exposure of which was calculated based on the estimated half second between when the sphere closed to when Slotin removed the top reflector. Slotin quickly twisted his wrist, flipping the top shell to the floor. The position of Slotin's body over the apparatus shielded the others from much of the neutron radiation, but he received a lethal dose of 1,000 rad (10 Gy) neutron and 114 rad (1.14 Gy) gamma radiation in less than a second. Slotin died nine days later from acute radiation poisoning.
Here is a bit of something Phil Collins to think about.
Fact Sheet: The Civilian and Military Characteristics of Plutonium
This creation comes out of nuclear reactors. It apparently is about as secure as Red Twists in the grocery in DEI thinking it is something to play with. On the other side, what happens with open borders before someone piles this chit up and starts making use of it for assassinations or events of mass death.
