If there is ever a nuclear power plant disaster or meltdown in the United States, the following map of their locations compared with a live wind flow map (direction and relative strength) will enable you to quickly determine your downwind risk from radioactive fallout effects. You can zoom in or out (mouse wheel), or click…
The Super-EMP weapon exists, and we apparently know that at least Russia, N.Korea, and China have them. Perhaps others? Are Iran’s nuclear centrifuges (apparently thousands of them are enriching uranium) – spinning up a Super-EMP? A Super-EMP is a miniaturized nuclear warhead requiring far less ‘fuel’ than today’s conventional nuclear bombs. It is believed that…
Out of curiosity I searched for maps that may reveal nuclear targets in the United States, and I’ve posted them here for your interest. (See below for more maps) The nuclear targets map shown above (source file) is one that I put together based on a number of factors — looking at other maps and…
image: nrc.gov Commercial ‘Spent Nuclear Fuel’ is composed of metal assemblies about 12’-15’ long. The fuel assemblies, after being in the reactor for 3 to 6 years, are stored underwater in ‘Spent Fuel Pools’ for 10 to 20 years before being sent for reprocessing or dry cask storage. Of the 104 operating nuclear power plants…
Have you wondered where the safest or safer place would be from a nuclear power plant? What if there was a disaster leading to a nuclear meltdown? You better be at least 50 miles from a nuclear power plant, and preferably not in a downwind location based on the prevailing winds (which are typically and…
Recently, former Assistant Secretary of the Treasury, Paul Roberts, said “War with Russia will be nuclear.” and he has indicated repeatedly that the current policies and mishandling of world events are surely leading us closer to that time. While nuclear war is unthinkable for most people (suffering from normalcy bias), in reality, the fact is…
Remember Fukushima? The nuclear power plant disaster in Japan that melted down back in 2011? The one that no-one talks about anymore? Well guess what — it’s still a problem. The latest news to hit the press is the fact that they are now dumping 560 tons of nuclear waste water into the Pacific ocean…
A nuclear explosion is one of the most devastatingly catastrophic incidents imaginable. Our normalcy bias prevents most of us from contemplating such a horrific event and therefore most people have not planned for it in any way. The reality is that a nuclear explosion could occur, and as time goes on – the probability may…
The following map is is a proportional visualization of the total number of nuclear weapons stockpiled by each country of the world (that we know about). While Russia and The United States stockpile the vast majority of nuclear weapons, any one single nuke could turn our world upside down in an instant. A full-on nuclear…
Type: Thermonuclear weapon Place of origin: Soviet Union Blast yield: 50-58 megatons (TNT) (scroll down for video) About the Tsar Bomba The Russian Tsar Bomba was the most powerful nuclear weapon detonation in the history of mankind. The following video is original footage of the detonation. The Tsar Bomba detonated 2 miles above…
