Eh. Pelosi's just hostile to Omar and the squad and generally out of touch, feinstein is out of touch and hostile to people who didnt vote for her. Theyre basically the same to me.

for context if that is in microroetgen per hour its probably fine. If its in milliroetgen per hour please exit the area in an orderly fashion. Either way wear a respirator and take iodine tablets because if you're seeing that locally there is some radioactive dust around.

If the locals are being directed to take iodine tablets then I’m leaning towards milliroetgen per hour, because you know, Russia.

No kidding. They had the Chernobyl before Chernobyl.

quote:

Environmental concerns were not taken seriously during the early development stage. Initially Mayak was dumping high-level radioactive waste into a nearby river, which flowed to the river Ob, flowing farther down to the Arctic Ocean. All six reactors were on Lake Kyzyltash and used an open-cycle cooling system, discharging contaminated water directly back into the lake.

And this isn't even the specific disaster the article is about.

For the attention of the residents of Pripyat! The City Council informs you that due to the accident at Chernobyl Power Station in the city of Pripyat the radioactive conditions in the vicinity are deteriorating. The Communist Party, its officials and the armed forces are taking necessary steps to combat this. Nevertheless, with the view to keep people as safe and healthy as possible, the children being top priority, we need to temporarily evacuate the citizens in the nearest towns of Kiev region. For these reasons, starting from April 27, 1986 2 pm each apartment block will be able to have a bus at its disposal, supervised by the police and the city officials. It is highly advisable to take your documents, some vital personal belongings and a certain amount of food, just in case, with you. The senior executives of public and industrial facilities of the city has decided on the list of employees needed to stay in Pripyat to maintain these facilities in a good working order. All the houses will be guarded by the police during the evacuation period. Comrades, leaving your residences temporarily please make sure you have turned off the lights, electrical equipment and water and shut the windows. Please keep calm and orderly in the process of this short-term evacuation.

Handford/Windscale were bad, but generally contained to the local area.

52 thousand loving square kilometers were contaminated by Kyshtym.

I highly recommend "Atomic Accidents" by James Mahaffee, he describes what happened much better than the wiki article.
