From the Department of Denial at Los Alamos National Lab- " The tally of former workers who have joined a pending lawsuit against Newport News Nuclear-BWXT Los Alamos — better known as N3B — is now at 15. They include the company’s former chief of staff, project managers and directors." https://www.santafenewmexican.com/news/local_news/lanl-nuke-waste-cleanup-contractors-ex-employees-allege-safety-lapses-retaliation/article_94feec07-441e-413b-bef2-32b0ff8bb4b3.html?utm_source=santafenewmexican.com&utm_campaign=%2Fnewsletters%2Fyour-morning-headlines%2F&utm_medium=email&utm_content=headline #LosAlamos #NuclearPits #Radiation #Pollution #Environment

#Chernobyl #Fungus Seems to Have #Evolved an Incredible Ability Clinging to walls of one of most #radioactive buildings on Earth, scientists have found a strange black fungus curiously living its best life. Fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing #radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. Proposed mechanism is referred to as #radiosynthesis. https://www.sciencealert.com/chernobyl-fungus-seems-to-have-evolved-an-incredible-ability

Decades of photographs showing the state of/decline of the areas around the site of the 1986 Chernobyl disaster. The cleanup after the reactor meltdown & more recent de-commissioning of the other two reactors will continue into the 2060s. Nuclear power is not the final answer to our energy issues... For more evidence, have a look at the Fukushima cleanup, which is expected to take until the 2050s... https://www.nationalgeographic.com/photography/article/chernobyl-nuclear-disaster-forty-anniversary #NuclearPower #Radiation #Chernobyl #Fukushima

@rrmutt@mastodon.social @mightyohm@mastodon.social Build Your Own Geiger Counter with MightyOhm's kit https://mightyohm.com/blog/products/geiger-counter/ @ai6yr@m.ai6yr.org What kind of calibration can be done? I TLDR manuals, would want to knowdynamic range, from minimal baseline sensitivity to max usable input. #radiation #geigercounter #DIY #Kit #Electronics
