The photo above is the closest humanity has ever come to creating Medusa.

If you were to look at this, you would die instantly. End of story.

The image is of a reactor core lava formation in the basement of the Chernobyl nuclear plant. It’s called the Elephant’s Foot and weighs hundreds of tons, but is only a couple meters across.

Oh, and regarding the Medusa thing? This picture was taken through a mirror around the corner of the hallway. Because the wheeled camera they sent up to take pictures of it was destroyed by the radiation.

I wonder if they could get pictures in colour now or maybe get an accurate heat reading off of that thing, if it’s still all there.

It’s crazy to think that something can be that strong that it would kill you by just looking at it. Though it’s understandable. I’d like a heat reading off of it.

Oh my god

I have such a science boner right now

Do you know how fucking dense that must be to weigh hundreds of tons?

Pretty fucking dense.

Wow.

I found this video for anyone who wants to see a video of the thing (although it’s not the best quality). This thing is a serious monster. I have a little trouble deciphering this Wikipedia article, but from what I gather, this thing weighs 1,200 tons (2,400,000 pounds – a number I cannot even begin to fathom) and is only losing about 22 pounds of uranium per year. It resists its environment and if the shelter is improved, that loss is expected to drop.

Holy shit.

I am simply astounded by the sheer power and properties of radiation and nuclear power plants. This is seriously scary stuff. Not to mention its effects on humans. i find deformed humans very, very unnerving. The mutations that radiation cause are the worst, in my opinion, than say, genetic mutations. This video shows some of the mutations from the Chernobyl meltdown (warning: these are very disturbing images, so view at your own risk).

Here’s another website with a collection of Chernobyl pictures, mostly of the building itself (no mutation pictures, so unless you’re upset by major destruction, this is a really cool look-through). This is my favorite picture because it really shows the dripping of the radioactive fuel/debris lava out of the valve. I just find it so absolutely terrifying that something like this could ever happen. Radiation is seriously scary stuff. What I want to know is how they took that picture.

Oh holy shit this is terrifying. The color just makes it worse. It’s like a volcano erupted indoors. Which is probably a pretty accurate analogy, plus tons of radiation to go with it. “”Corium” is only formed during a reactor meltdown as a product of the solid fuel fissioning uncontrollably. This super-hot fuel turns into a liquid and melts its way through steel, concrete, and whatever else that might be in contact with it. So it’s a mixture of fuel and various building materials,” the admin says in the comments.

This article says that Chernobyl will stay radioactive for 100,000 years.

Radiation is just unfathomably scary stuff.

Daaaaamn.

All of this is just so incredibly terrifying and amazing at the same time. Just to think of the things humans are capable of now, and all the various horrible ways everything could go very very wrong if we’re too careless for just a second…

okay yeah fine I didn’t need to sleep tonight anyway ;_;

The Chernobyl disaster is one of the saddest and scariest things we humans have ever done to ourselves and the planet.

100,000 years is a very, very long time.

Also, fun tidbit: there are approximately104 nuclear reactors in the United States alone. True, we have higher standards now, but all it takes is one natural disaster like the Japan 2011 earthquake and tsunami or one Three Mile Island accident to set one of those things off.

#but also because I showed HC #and I can hear her typing like a mad woman #Health Physics Student Ahoy! #You have been warned

Where… where do I even begin with this? Oh Dr. Turner, what would you say to this? Besides…

Okay. First off. Elephant’s Foot. Cool stuff there. The student of radiation physics and protection inside me is beside herself with science-related glee. That is some effing amazing science shit. Science-induced coma here, people.

Read the article though. The Elephant’s Foot weighs 2 metric tons (or 2000 kilograms or ~4400 pounds) and it composed of “black lava”, or a mixture of concrete, debris, and radioactive material. (The 1200 tons is in reference to all of the slag created in the accident, not the Elephant’s Foot specifically.)

It is true that electronics are sensitive to radiation – cameras and other sophisticated electronics have to be replaced fairly regularly in areas of high radiation – but then again electronics are sensitive to both ionizing and non-ionizing radiation. They are affected for the same reason you don’t leave your camera in direct sunlight, or the oven, or run it through a microwave (which are all forms of non-ionizing radiation, btw), it’s an environmental factor the device is not designed to handle.

The camera in this case was “destroyed” by radiation, yes… heat is a form of radiation and the slag from the reactor core was 1660 °C for 4 days, at least. That kind of heat would destroy anything. So while a form of radiation was responsible for the danger posed by the slag, it wasn’t actually the ionizing radiation that was the main factor to using mirrors and remote cameras to get photos. It was the heat first, radiation second, because that kind of heat would melt most things – in fact 1600 °C is the high end melting point of glass (Iron’s is 1535 °C; titanium, 1660 °C, so pushing it. Platinum wouldn’t melt. It’s melting point is 1772 °C). Why anyone would think that the radiation level (though high) would be the first issue here is beyond me.

But guys. There is something that you ALL need to understand and for some of you, it may be incredibly surprising…

Ionizing radiation – alpha, beta, gamma, neutron – is ALL around you. Sat/stood/slept next to another person? Been outside recently? Stood in the sun? Eaten a banana? Lived in the universe? Guess what? You’ve been exposed to ionizing radiation. It comes from the environment, from man-made sources like x-ray machines, and from space. All of you, simply from living on planet Earth will be exposed to approximately 400 millirem, or 4 mSv, of radiation over the course of a year. Sounds like a lot, sure. 400 millirem/year. Unless you compare to the industry standard annual limit for radiation workers – 5000 millirem/year (50 mSv/yr).

Chernobyl was a horrible and terrifying accident. I will never deny that. It was poorly handled. It was poorly contained. Most importantly, the reactors at the Chernobyl site were not built correctly. It was not being operated within proper safety protocols.

The accident occurred for a number of reasons: a process called reactor poisoning began when a neutron absorber caused the reactor to drop from 700 MW to 500 MW and then the control rods were inserted too far placing the reactor in a near shut down state (~30MW). Despite the fact that the reactor was producing less than 5% of the power needed for the test that was being ran, the operators continued with the test which caused a positive feedback loop for steam production reducing the amount of liquid water persent in the system to absorb radiation…

Are you starting to see why the Chernobyl incident happened?

…When the first explosion, inevitably, occurred, the core was overheating, power output went from near shutdown to 530 MW in three seconds, and all of the coolant for the system flashed to steam…

causing more over heating because steam is what is used to generate electricity in a reactor not to cool anything. This fed into the positive feedback loop causing the reactor core to heat even more and go into meltdown… mainly because there was nothing to cool it.

Because graphite (of all the bloody choices in the world) was used in the system as a neutron moderator, the system caught fire inside of the core housing.

This, in turn, caused the core to burn so hot that the building itself caught on fire because bitumen, a highly combustible material, was used in the construction of the roof contrary to safety regulations.

The graphite fire within the system was left to burn for weeks without any attempt to put it out.

People in adjacent buildings were given respirators and told to keep working until they finally ignored orders and left.

Firefighters sent in to put out the bitumen covered buildings weren’t even told why they could only work for a few minutes before they had to leave.

Workers were exposed to a lifetime dose of radiation within minutes.

64 people died as a direct result of the accident. 4000 cancer related deaths have been linked back to exposure caused by the accident.

Chernobyl occurred because there were idiots in charge who didn’t want to acknowledge just how much they fucked up. It was a mess and all safety protocols, or even logical reason, was ignored by most of the people in charge endangering the lives of thousands as a result.

So that’s why the Chernobyl incident occurred. Here’s a few reasons why it won’t again:

First off, the RBMK reactor models built at Chernobyl were never built outside of the USSR.

Graphite is not used as an moderating agent outside of those models.

Bitumen would never be used in the building of reactor housing. (what the HELL they were thinking is beyond me.)

The IAEA, NRC, DoE, and the dozens of other regulatory and policy making organizations closely monitor and maintain standards that are far superior to those at Chernobyl

Unlike most industries (coal, oil, etc), the nuclear industry learns from its mistakes and does everything within their power to prevent it from happening again. TMI was absolutely nothing compared to Chernobyl. Fukushima as well, even considering that they both rate as “Major Accidents”.

Radiation is something that is powerful, yes. It needs to be used and treated with respect and care, yes.

It is not something to blindly feared.

Not every reactor is Chernobyl, or even TMI or Fukushima, waiting to happen. They are not ticking time bombs despite whatever Hollywood or the media claims. A nuclear reactor core does not equal atom bomb (I’m looking at and judging you, TDKR). You need weapons-grade material to make weapons. Nuclear fuel cells do not use weapons-grade material. Ergo, nuclear fuel is not a nuclear weapon. Furthermore, those three instances were caused by one of two things, unique extenuating circumstances (9pt earthquake plus tsunami) or complete human idiocy (running a reactor outside of safe operation limits).

Nuclear power is under such a constant scrutiny that they can’t be screw-ups. The nuclear industry is held to a higher standard and expectation than any other power-producing industry. And the workers – the operators, engineers, technicians, scientists – that are employed at those plants and research labs know the power radiation possesses and they respect it. In comparison, hundreds of miners still die yearly in coal mining related accidents. Oil spills still occur for the same reasons fairly regularly. Nuclear power is actually the safest and cleanest mass energy source we have, but we don’t use it because people have an unreasonable (yes, unreasonable) fear of it because they don’t understand it.

tl;dr: Nuclear energy is one of the safest industries in the world. Reactors are not ticking time bombs. Sometimes bad shit happens, but it happens a hell of a lot more in other energy producing industries. Educate yourself with the above links under “Further Readings”. The Elephant’s Foot, though really effing cool only weighs 2 metric tons, not 1200 tons.

tumblino:

the pictures from the clothing livestream! unfortunately I drew them all while talking, but hopefully i’ll be able to record them in the future

The main point of the entire lecture however was when approaching any kind of clothing or pattern its important to break it down. Before starting on the final picture do several roughs where you draw out the design (even if it looks ugly). That way you understand the composition and can either reduplicate it OR change it up to fit your needs!

lace, jewelry, prints, and fancy designs are in fact comprised of a bunch of very simple replicated images. what seems impossible is in fact just crescents, hearts, and tiny circles! or a series of diamonds with smaller diamonds and circles inside (diamondception). Same with complicated fashion; identify the large shapes and the angle of the body then WHALA! of course it ends up looking better after a few tries haha

and of course that less can be more, especially with thinks like wrinkles and folds, and if you’re scared to draw clothes over your figure get over it. You’ll draw a million better figures! dont hold yourself back

How to Tell The Signs Like You

astrostarss:

Aries: Lots of hugs. They will often challenge you, whether this is challenging your beliefs or trying to prove their worth by winning a game. They get jealous easily and may come off as harsh when they see you flirting with or giving attention to someone else. They will think about you more than they like to admit. They will want to be updated with what’s going on in your life, and will actually show interest in your routines/interactions with others. There is a good chance these guys will just tell you how they feel.

Taurus: They’ll ask for your opinions on things and will try to hold stimulating conversations with you. All of your quirks and bad habits will become cute to them. They will look at you like you are this special human being who must be protected at all costs. Sometimes they’ll make fun of you, but all good natured. You will consume their thoughts. They will compliment you on things they admire about you in an almost-manipulative way of letting you know who they want you to be. All earth signs are somewhat manipulative. Taurus’ are just so sweet when they like someone, please don’t hurt them, they constantly fear that once they open up, they’ll be misunderstood or rejected, so don’t be discouraged by a more reserved presence. This is why they want to know so much about you.

Gemini: Witty and talkative. You may think they are always this way, but if they like you, you’ll see it in their eyes. They can be absolutely weird when talking to their crush. They let their guard down. They’ll try to treat you like just another friends if they don’t want to be too obvious about it, but still they’ll pay more attention to what you have to say. They can be touchy, similar to Leos, but more spontaneous. Be careful with Geminis, they look at love as an experience/adventure; they are most likely to lead someone on for the thrill of it. They’ll also be really supportive and encourage you to go after what you want. They want the best for you.

Cancer: Shy and so sweet. All of their friends are 100% aware that they like you. You can probably know more about how a cancer feels about you by observing how their friends act around you. They are not exactly coy, but more cautious. Lots of soft eyes and smiles. They won’t hesitate to ask if you’re okay or how you’re doing, unless they doubt themselves. If you see them looking at you, they are trying to figure out what to say to you or a way to subtly interact with you. They fear rejection, so they are probably least likely to make the first move.

Leo: They’ll probably flat out tell you that they like you. Everyone within earshot will know it. They get really touchy feely and will play games with you. Footsies under the table. They will say some things and you’ll be like what the fuck are you talking about, but forgive them, it’s their way of being nervous, even if they don’t know it. They’ll want to be around you. They will make more eye contact than they typically would with other people. If they really like you, they’ll adopt this special “voice” which they will only talk to you in. It’s often softer, sweeter, and really irresistible. They can be SO protective (it’s adorable)!! They also try to impress you and it may come off as arrogant, but it’s actually so cute ‘cause they just want you to see how great they are.

Virgo: They will challenge you, but not in the same way that Aries does. Virgos tend to display their more negative qualities (sometimes on accident) to see if you are worth their time. They tend to be very insecure, so they need to know that you will stand by them at their worst. They will certainly pick out your flaws if they like you and may be harder on you because they want you to be the best you that you can be. They may tag along with your friend group to be around you. They often misinterpret feelings so they may share the “hot and cold” nature that Capricorns have because they are paranoid. They’ll open up to you just a bit more than they would with others. They want to make sure you stimulate them intellectually before they get too serious, this is important to them.

Libra: This is a toughy because Libras are generally very charming and likable people. A good way to determine whether they like you is by asking around- if a Libra likes you, they will never say no when asked by others if they like you (unless they have good reason). They will try to be around you frequently and will try to show you their best side. They will treat you differently than other people if they like you, so watch out for any soft voices or loving eyes that they save for only a special someone.

Scorpio: If they give you any special attention at all, this is a good sign. Scorpios are typically indifferent to people who do not interest/benefit them in the slightest. Scorpios are known for their impulsive wit and charm, but can be a bit more awkward (in a cute way) and less witty around their crush. EYES EYES EYES. Expect intense eye contact and lots of “subtle” staring from a smitten Scorpio. They are very protective, sometimes even possessive over their crush. Their eyes will light up with curiosity or lust at the mention of you.

Sagittarius: They try extra hard to make you laugh. They can be very childish and just want you to see the adventure in everything. They will try to impress you with their random acquired skills, which can range from being able to identify every bird in sight to the capability of balancing a pencil on their nose for several minutes. Sometimes they stutter or are more shy around the person they like, which is a telltale because Sags are nearly always outgoing or at least projective of what’s going on with them. They will compliment you a lot. They will try to be what they think you want<—-Capricorns do this too, but they merely deduce your personality and accentuate the features they think you’ll appreciate. While Sags think they are doing what Capricorns do so well, they really need to find someone who will accept them for who they are.

Capricorn: They will be very hot and cold. One day, they can be outrageous and flirty and coy, but you can bet your life that they will go home and overthink it and the next day they will give their utmost effort to avoid you or seem indifferent towards you. This is because Capricorns have a superiority complex, and sometimes a crush makes them feel weak; they are afraid of getting hurt so they will never act too smitten for too long. This is why most Capricorns will not admit to their feelings until they are secure in the fact that you feel the same way. A Capricorn will also try to help you and give you advice, not because they think you are wrong or in need of actual help, but because they care about your well being and want you to live the best life you can. They will try to impress you with their unique talents or philosophies. They can be very coy and charming. Intense eye contact (they honestly believe they can seduce you with their eyes). They are chivalrous regardless of gender; they love holding doors for their crush (like literally all of them do this). Side note: they will never forget a single thing you say or do. Ever.

Aquarius: They will want to hang around you. They tend to be more reserved emotionally, but will mess around with you to cope. Like gemini, they will encourage you to go after what they think is best for you. If you are currently interested in someone else, a crushing Aquarius will not be too fond of said person and try to convince you that you “deserve better.” They will not let conversations die. Aquarians don’t have the greatest attention span so they definitely admire you in some way if they hold convos with you, especially over text. Lots of laughter too!! Lots of staring, they probably won’t even look away when you make eye contact with them. Actually, they may just laugh out loud. They are often more courteous of you than they are with others.

Pisces: Think coy and giggly. They are the ultimate dreamers and will utterly want to share these dreams and desires with you. They can be pretty awkward, but it’s cute. They’ll try to look their best around you. They get a bit shy, but are almost always in a flirty mood. Lots of poking and material stealing and cute doodles. They are the epitome of a “middle school crush” if you get what I mean. The boys tend to be this way more than the girls because sometimes the girls consider it childish. Sometimes. They are most likely to stalk you on social media. Pisces flirt immensely through technology, and are great at sending cute texts or messages. This is often because they stutter or withdraw in real life. If they are single and ready to mingle, you’ll know, with frequent sighs and several exclamations of “no one likes me” followed by insecure laughter. Basically, they’re cute.

What to do if you suddenly find yourself homeless

dangerbabegang:

FOOD

Find your nearest food bank or mission, for food

grocery stores with free samples, bakeries + stores with day-old bread

different fast food outlets have cheaper food and will generally let you hang out for a while.

some dollar stores carry food like cans of beans or fruit

SHELTER

Sleeping at beaches during the day is a good way to avoid suspicion and harassment

sleep with your bag strapped to you, so someone can’t steal it

Some churches offer short term residence

Find your nearest homeless shelter

Look for places that are open to the public

A large dumpster near a wall can often be moved so that flipping up the lids creates an angled shelter to stay dry

HYGIENE

A membership to the YMCA is usually only 10$, which has a shower, and sometimes laundry machines and lockers.

Public libraries have bathrooms you can use

Dollar stores carry low-end soaps and deodorant etc.

Wet wipes are all purpose and a life saver

Local beaches, go for a quick swim

Some truck stops have showers you can pay for

Staying clean is the best way to prevent disease, and potentially get a job to get back on your feet

Pack 7 pairs of socks/undies, 2 outfits, and one hooded rain jacket

OTHER

first aid kit

sunscreen

a travel alarm clock or watch

mylar emergency blanket

a backpack is a must

downgrade your cellphone to a pay as you go with top-up cards

sleeping bag

travel kit of toothbrush, hair brush/comb, mirror

swiss army knife

can opener
