If it continues on it's trajectory, you'll be quickly subjected to a high radiation zone. There's not a lot of shielding between you and the reactor, the design relies mostly on the water around it to be devoid of anything sensitive to radiation.

How does that work when you're on the surface in port?

Or do they keep it at low power in those situations, and it's only really an issue when they've got it cranked to full operational power?

It's running at minimal power as you're pulling in/out of port and the area immediately above the reactor spaces are posted as high-rad zones which you cannot enter. Once you're in port, you shutdown and it's stops being an issue.

Since 1962, no civilian or military personnel in the NNPP have ever received more than a tenth of the Federal annual occupational exposure limit from internal radiation exposure caused by radioactivity associated with naval nuclear propulsion plants.

The average occupational exposure of each person monitored since 1954 for radiation associated with naval nuclear propulsion plants is less than 0.115Rem per year. The total lifetime average exposure during this 65-year period is about 1Rem per person.

I'm not thinking of anything!
Uhg I woke up with nightmares today so I figured I'd share with ya'll. I saw somebody get hit by a subway train yesterday in Philly, it was horrible. He was high as hell on something, probably K2. I looked over at him like "This dude is a danger to himself..." and then less than a minute later somebody shouted, and I look back over and the loving dude was trying to get a cigarette that fell on the tracks.

Ten seconds later a train starts coming, and people are yelling at him but it was too late, he basically just froze and started like, trying to motion to the train to stop but it couldn't fully stop in time and it ran him over before it came to a halt.

Then the horror started. The train shut off for a second and we could hear him moaning and screaming for a few seconds before the train backed up. By the time the train had backed up to expose him, he wasn't making much noise, but he was still alive and it was horrific. He is legs were flat in a couple of areas and twisted up like a mess of ropes, he couldn't move anything except for an arm which he was kind of shaking up and down while he half-cried and half-moaned. EMS and firefighters were on the scene a couple of minutes later but they couldn't get to him until the power to the tracks was confirmed to be shut off, so they were yelling to him not to move until they could go down and get him.

He lost consciousness for a bit while they were loading him on to stretcher but then he woke up again and started crying for a bit before he was silent again.

Awful, awful stuff. I can't find anything in the news about it, I guess because of COVID there wasn't really anybody to report it? Uhg, anyways I cannot stop seeing his twisted up body, I don't think there was any way he could have lived much longer and I kind of hope he didn't anyways, his injuries did not look compatible with life at all.

So yea, do not jump into the subway because you saw a cigarette, guys. It's not worth it.

Oof, been there. I hung out with the judo team guys my freshman year of college, who were also really into pro wrestling, and we spent a lot of time playing in the snow that winter because it made for softer landings when we got to tossing each other around.

One night, a massive snowbank had piled up between the residence halls, so one guy suggested powerbombing me into it. I patted the top layer, determined it was quite fluffy, and said sure.

Turns out it was solid ice under a couple inches of pure powder. I wheezed as the impact knocked the wind out of me, and everyone froze, I’m sure assuming they just witnessed someone’s spine inverting. As soon as I could breathe, I gasped out something dumb like, “JUST COLLECTING MY THOUGHTS.” Pretty sure I had a light concussion, and my back was bruised all to hell, but otherwise, somehow, no lasting damage!

I have come to discourse on the profound inequities of the American political system.


I know this is old, but I used to be what normal people call lumberjacks despite the fact that no one has used double bit axes commercialyl since the 1930s. Looking at this cray, the bar (the big white thing the chain is wrapped around), entered his chest cavity through the bottom of his chest and shoot out through the top of his left shoulder.

This is called kickback. Inertia is a bitch - and especially so in a chainsaw because the way a chain spins causes it. In this particular case, it's obvious to me that the posture of this indivudal was spectacularly dogshit. He was likely leaning over his saw, pushing the saw into the wood when the tip of his bar caught another piece of wood and cause the kickback. Two things people just don't get:

1. Saws are engineered to be used so that bar head sits at your hip sideways (that is, the bar sits at a diagonal angle to your body for this precise reason. The idea is that if you experience kickback, the saw will jump up and backwards, which will cause your left hand (if it's seated properly) to automatically smack the brake. Some saws nowadays even have a computer chip that will automatically engage the brake if the saw too rapidly changes it's angle.
2. That chain was dull as gently caress. Sharp chains don't kick back nearly as hard precisely because they can't grab as much wood as a dull chain.

Taken together, this poor idiot was basically basically using his bodyweight to shove the chain into the wood with all his might, hands placed to do so,using piss poor posture and form to 1. Damage his saw because saws engine cannot take that kind of abuse regularly and 2. Basically position himself perfectly spectularly injure himself.

Why saws don't require a license to run I never understood, but at least it provides great fodder for idiots with saws compilations.

I get stopped all the time cause I'm near refineries with lots of rail lines, so you see these dudes jump off moving trains while they're coming to a stop, go flip the track switch, then jump back on while they're reversing back to him. No matter how slow it's going it still seems super sketchy.

One of the mills we work out of has remote-controlled switchers and you see the operator jumping on/off like that while simultaneously controlling the engine from his controller all the time. Robotrain always has the right of way.

Things are looking up...

If you live in Vancouver, the 'skytrains' there spaghettifi people since there's only a few inches of clearance beneath/around the things. Cleanup is done with a hose.
Saw someone fall onto the tracks once - fortunately spared the aftermath, since they shut it all down and get everyone out of the station.
Honestly surprised more stations don't have the fully sealing walls/doors like they do at some of the newer stations and lines. But of course this costs money.

I think the US is dumb for not using Celsius
It really is insane that you can just walk up to the edge of the tracks in this modren era. if I were to design such a system today, I'd have a barrier that's away from the tracks. The train comes in and it stops in such a way that it blocks anyone from getting into the tunnel or on the tracks. Then the train doors open and then a separate set of doors open that let people get from the platform to the train.
