I think you're confusing electrical with thermal output. A given unit at Chernobyl was rated for 3.2 GW of thermal power, which at ~30something% efficiency is about a GW electrical output. Compare to one of the TMI units, which is 2.6 GW(th) and 820 MW electrical.

The RBMKs were so physically large because they wanted to be able to use unenriched uranium; for a desired power level you need more natural uranium than you would LEU.

Ah yeah there's my confusion, I'm just used to electric output rating.

Doesn't he keep comparing a steam explosion to a nuclear explosion and uses those words interchangeably to fit the point he is making, or did I misunderstand?

The body would block the alpha and beta particles, you'd only need strong neutron and gamma sources in there to be an actual threat to other people.

And what's wrong with calling out Voices of Chernobyl for being full of poo poo? All kinds of nonsense has been produced in the name of demonizing nuclear power. Somebody should get that book to see if the 5 megaton nonsense originated there as well.

If that's the reason why didn't he just say that instead of saying that they weren't exposed internally? Makes him sound like he's an idiot who doesn't know what he's talking about.

Oof ya bass, that's weapons grade cunty accent.
I'm Scottish*, so most English accents sound a bit poo poo, but that's an actual punchable voice. That hosed could stand up and explain how he's cured cancer but I'd still want to kick him into a coma.
Tried to get as far as 3 minutes 6 seconds for a laugh, but only managed to get to 1 minute 14 seconds

We posted to the specifications layer out by the OP.

The moderators regrettably allowed a collection of shitposts to accumulate.

Within those shitposts, the narrative was shifted to circumcision.

On April 26, 2019 at 01:23:45, the thread hit peak levels of Reddit and blew the roof off a minor subforum.
