The French Département du Déminage (Department of Mine Clearance) recovers about 900 tons of unexploded munitions every year. Since 1945, approximately 630 French clearers have died handling unexploded munitions.

The problem with “nuclear plants will shut down automatically” is that they need active cooling for weeks afterwards as the short‐lived isotopes in the fuel decay. Normally this is no problem, they draw power from the grid, but the grid won’t stay stable for long in the absence of human intervention. Once the grid goes down, the back‐up generators kick on, but without humans keeping them supplied with fuel, they’ll fail, too. e: f;b

Some dam designs require seepage to be pumped from their foundations. Those are in trouble without maintenance.

The Wiggly Wizard posted:I couldn't find any good articles on Hoover having the same problem, but don't lots of dams have problems with sediment accumulation? I think the Glen Canyon Dam takes the lion’s share of that, but of course when it fails catastrophically, Hoover will follow. e: In 500–700 years if sediment is indeed the limiting factor on lifespan here (unlikely).

chitoryu12 posted:This is why when you're in between listed numbers on the load chart, you always use the next lowest numbers. If the boom lengths are listed in 10 foot increments and you're at 75 feet, you use the capacities listed for 70 feet instead of 80 feet. You always want to be operating within a good margin of safety, without maxing everything out. Don’t you mean the numbers for 80 feet?

Slanderer posted:What the hell are you guys talking about? Even if the cable is still sufficient to carry the load, it’s a violation of NEC 110.14(A): “Connection of conductors to terminal parts shall ensure a thoroughly good connection without damaging the conductors”. I’m pretty sure that counts as damage.

Deteriorata posted:Just as an aside, the Bhopal incident was almost certainly sabotage, not an accident. The water got into the diisocyanate by a tap that was only used for cleaning when the plant was down for maintenance. A garden hose had been connected to it by someone who did not understand what would happen. His only intent was to ruin the batch. If we’re only speculating it was sabotage, how do we know intent?

Ambrose Burnside posted:I liked the designs intended to be impractical and uncomfortable instead of ominous or imposing. like just paving the site with black granite slabs that make staying there very uncomfortable due to heat and were of awkward size/proportions that made the cannibalization of the marker for building material unlikely. or putting big irregular black boulders all over, with spacing, dimensions and angles designed to make building on the site or between the boulders impractical, the black to make it uncomfortably hot, and sized to make said cannibalization difficult again lol if you think irregular slabs will stop them  While dark things absorb energy from light more readily, they also radiate it more readily. Just loot the place at night.
