About japan, they shutdown all this reactors down because the old Nuclear Safety Organisation, NISA has ignored many safety issues. This is why a new one was created with the name NRA and mandated all nuclear power plants to by more or less get a recertification of Plant safety. I have 3 good examples, Tsuruga 2 NPP its build on a active fault line. Will by possible shutdown permamently. Hamaoka NPP is worse, its build directly above there 2 Continental plates collide with each other. And the newst reactor of this plant is in operation since 2005. Fukushima received a month before the accident a 10 years life extension. Beside all Tsunami warnings about the possible height or the fact it could destroy the emergency Generators have been Ignored as unrealistic. Only to by proven one month later as pretty accurate.
His family didn't just watch, as the creators of the Brew video imply. They had an active role. Living wills are not even legally binding in Japan. It pisses me off how some people often imply that these doctors were doing this just because they liked having a project or something. This is not a criticism of you, of course. You're just reacting to the video. I see a lot of people in the comments characterizing these doctors as monsters or motivated by profit.

Oh, FWIW, neurons can be replaced. It's neurogenesis. It's just that it doesn't happen nearly as often as it does in other tissue. There is STILL debate as to exactly how often and when. The thing is, we have a LOT of "extra" neurons, lol. And the issue for our biology is that just kinda sprouting new ones isn't too helpful. Im sure u can imagine why this is. We have so many extra ones that in terms of maintaining the network, pruning is way more important than making more. It's been documented to happen in the hippocampus in man, IIRC
I don't know if you remember me or not , but I have commented on a video nearly one year ago , that you inspired me to study hard in high school to become an engineer and I got enough grades so that I can get to a college to study engineering , and now I have applied to my first year of engineering , ty
Congratulations. There are many challenges ahead, but for now, focus on your education. The best thing about being an engineer, you ca't run out of challenges.
A zombie apocalypse isn't real. Without sustenance, the body fails quickly. Zombies is a reference to starving people, unprepared, in an emergency. They will eat you.
Zombies have _always_ been a non-starter, scientifically. After rigor mortis, the body doesn't even contain the correct energy for movement _at all,_ let alone to shamble about aimlessly or think, "I'm hungry". It takes no radiation and no additional info to rule out zombies as a _practical_ thing. ... that's why they live in fiction. Turns out, being alive and moving involves _a lot_ of chemical reactions that a dead body literally cannot perform!
@@GrantWaller.-hf6jn Nah, far more than that: After rigor mortis, a body _literally_ does not have the correct type of energy to move muscles _at all._ IRL, zombies are a non-starter.
@@ashkebora7262but good for horror stories. The dead rise up no. A virus making people blood thirsty animals. Would be more believed. Resident Evil one of the best games ever. The Bunker is awesome aa well.
uranyl nitrate and uranyl acetate crystals actually are green-ish yellow and glowy - worked a bit with them in chem undergrad in analytical chemistry. looked very cool, they may be the source of the glowy green theme for radioactive stuff
The green comes from phosphor excited by radioactive materials. This is what the general public had wide spread exposure to and believed to be the product of radiation directly.
@@bigpatty823 Also Radium Used in Glow in he dark Dials and Watches and even kids toys was laced with Radioactive Radium as they didn't know it was deadly Can still buy old wrist watches that are radioactive and good for getting skin cancer near watch when worn.
Radioluminescent paint was widely used on the dial faces of watches and clocks for most of the 20th Century. It is green and eerily glowy… possibly why society conflated radiation with radioluminescence. It’s also a convenient visual shorthand - think of Homer Simpson fumbling that green glowy radioactive rod with tongs. Just having that be a nondescript black rod does not communicate danger.
I'm not huge on assisted suicide, but for fatal radiation poisoning I'm all for it. Allowing somebody to live through cases like this is just plain terrible. At that point they are just using a living being in agony as a test subject for untested medical practices.
That's what I was thinking the whole time. At some point it became obvious to them that he's not going to make it but they kept doing transfusions and just observing.
Certainly, if I get a whole body dose higher than 5Sv, please just put me out of my misery. Even if survivability is possible, I don't think I want it anymore.
Working for years as med-tech and especially w/ some of the sickest patients close to death in hospice as well as having a fairly deep understanding of physics I would have to say that for myself I would have had to be vocally opposed to this type of care. Not out of lack of sympathy for the patient, but the opposite. Death is painful and terrifying for nearly everyone when the time comes and there is no cheating "Death" so everyone deserves the respect to leave this world in the least pain and fear possible.
It's a horrible way to go but I think the video of worker(s) trapped on top of a burning wind turbine is more poignant due to the seeing it happen. Trapped in a slowly dying body, or trapped on a rapidly burning tower..
@@butterlord-nq3ei .. The most famous clip went viral at least 10 years ago but it's not a Wendigood vid. Appears in my feed sometimes if I've been looking at the downsides of renewables again. If you search 'burning wind turbines' or 'wind turbines on fire' you'll see loads of meltdowns but the one(s) (there are 2 think) of the workers trapped on one tops the lot. You will find it. I'd have jumped and possibly survived as a quadriplegic, locked-in comatose victim. On par with this radiation exposure.
I work in the oil transportation industry on a tug and barge. I agree that this was an incredibly preventable accident. Look at the deep water horizon accident. Multiple saftey regulations and devices were disregarded. This is applicable in any area when working with any hazardous material.
You should do a video on the radium girls it's quite a horrific video I don't know if you've ever seen it but it's about women that painted watch faces using radium base paint so that way people in the military could see their watches at night because when radio is exposed to light it will absorb the lights that way when it's dark and they can see their watches. And they were taught to do the lick and dip technique which even though we know that radio is just calcium's evil cousin. Because they were told radium is absolutely safe the women began painting their nails their teeth and some documentaries and article say that when they would leave work at night or go out to a bar or the ball that they would have a light glow to them and they're clothes sometimes. And because radio is so close to the makeup of calcium that it absorbs right into the bones and because they were taught to do the lick and dip technique their jaws would be the first thing to go they would normally break they lose teeth and sometimes in some cases they would swell up so badthat it would just create a huge abscess the size of a softball if not bigger and some women would lose their bottom jaw completely. And if they survived all that then they would become so weak that they couldn't even get up and it's a few women that were able to get up their bones would break just under the weight of their own body.
It takes a lot to get the waterworks going for me, but this story and your heartfelt reaction to it will do it. I remember your other reaction to a video about this accident. This is such a sad and tragic story. They should have let him go the first time his heart stopped.
This story is like 65% of why I have a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). Doctors WILL basically torture you PAST death if there is even a false glimmer of hope of recovery. ... At least the good doctors that actually want to save lives. Literally, while your body is sitting there tapping out going, "no no, I'm done, I'm cooked, let me expire", the doctors will just be hooking you up to more machines to keep you alive. Humans are more compassionate and understanding to _fucking pets_ than relatives... If I'm remotely close to this guy's condition, just put me down, dammit!!
"Second, there have been discussions regarding the ambiguity of whether healthcare professionals who withhold (or withdraw) life-sustaining treatment according to the guidelines should be held liable under criminal or civil law. The process guidelines are not legally binding because, although issued by the Ministry, they lack supporting statutes. Some scholars, including two of the authors of this chapter (Kodama and Tanaka), believe that legislation is necessary to ensure immunity for healthcare professionals who discontinue life-sustaining treatment." But it feels so good to just call the doctors monsters, I guess. 1. Ozeki-Hayashi R, Iwata F, Kodama S, Tanaka M.

You better have a will rdy. Here they where wanting to pull the Plug. His Family won't let them, 'forcing' them to try until total Failure. Surely wasn't nice for them either. Often it's Family and a lacking written Will wich causes unnecessary long Suffering.
Always enjoy listening to your videos. The way they are narrated I can throw them on while I'm working outside or even walking. But what the heck happened to your editing in this one? It's like you posted your raw take by accident!
Same--the dam near my hometown in ND holds back enough water to cause massive flooding all the way down to the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi if it ever collapses.
Some of the most heavily dependent upon hydro power are also the most rained upon with fallout from nuclear test detonations. Dam failures, well, living not far from Johnstown... Google it, people, it ain't hard.
It should be noted, that the reason they kept him alive for so long, was because his family kept asking the hospital to do anything possible to save him.
You need a new editor, I was thinking my anticonvulsants weren’t working when I kept hearing you rapidly repeat stuff like you expected to remove it during editing
I think he was going for that effect, to stress how out there they got with the procedure. How stutteringly stupid it was to not have adult supervision before they simplified the procedures to the reagent they desire.
The way I try to help people understand what cherenkov radiation is, is to use the sound of an internal combustion engine. Most people are pretty familiar with the inner workings of a four stroke engine, and that every other stroke involves a very literal explosion. That sound we hear coming from the engine is hundreds of those explosions per second, overlaying and interacting with each other. Likewise, Cherenkov radiation is due to ionized (or electrically charged) particles emitted from the source. Moving charges, such as these ionized particles, create disturbances in the EM field, IE photons. These photons build up like a visual version of a "sonic boom", leading to a bright blue nanosecond flash. Here's where the analogy comes in, when you overlay hundreds of those sonic booms together (or in this case, kabillions!), you get what looks like a continuous blue light. For those thinking "I thought nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light!", keep in mind that that phrase only applies to the speed of light *in a vacuum*. Due to interacting with particles throughout, light travels slower through occupied space. Water happens to have a slow enough speed of light that these highly energetic particles can keep up with the wavefront. Obviously simplified, I just think it's neat.
There's also the Wendigoon video covering the same topic. Bit less tangential trivia if I remember correctly, and it's a long watch, but probably still worth a watch and/or reaction if you decide to tackle this topic again.
One thing worth mentioning - nuclear is the only industry where the safety regulations have killed more people than the industry itself. This is all down to nuclear not being competitive against coal - and the global total for that is very approximately 10 million extra people have died globally due to that.. Today nuclear is some 10,000 times safer than coal per unit of energy produced. Even if every nuclear plant were built and run like Chernobyl the figure would still be around 100 times safer per unit. Depressingly coal consumption is still growing even today..
Have heard this story many times over. How his family allowed his suffering to continue for so long…will never comprehend. Would demand no further “treatment” disguised as making a man into a Guinea Pig. I would end his suffering in very short order, no matter the consequences. Love is merciful. I am so sorry medical staff all just turned what happened to him into their own evil experimentations:(
If you want to look at a video series that covers this topic really well, The Ghosts of Tokaimura by the channel That Chernobyl Guy is a fantastic, well researched series.
Was about to suggest this series!!! It's chilling and heartbreaking, but it's *kind.* And truthful. Something you never get with his story on social media...
I think Brew did a wonderful job of explaining the incident. Did he exaggerate the onset of symptoms after expose? Somewhat. Did he give things a green glow that weren’t accurate? Yes, however that exists in common culture and he just continued the use.
It happens any time a charged particle travels faster than the relativistic speed of light in the medium. In air, it's slower than the _actual_ speed of light. In water, even slower. (I think? I'm not looking it up to confirm...) It's just what happens when a charged particle goes that fast. The excess energy goes in to light, and the particle eventually slows below that speed, like electromagnetic friction that only 'bites' at excessive speeds. On a funner note, the inverse (not literal inverse, more of conceptual inverse) of this is how the "WOW" particle got to us still containing so much energy: There was a beam of energy from a quasar/blazar whos energy was so great, that it basically kept converting between light and protons, thusly keeping it localized, while it was on its very long journey to crashing in to Earth's atmosphere. That's such a terrible explanation, but there are a few great science youtubers who already have videos out on it! SciShow and/or PBS Space Time at least.
Yeah this is why when I worked in uranium enrichment I told my wife if I was ever involved in a criticality accident and got a lethal dose to have them just put me down, or at the very least don't prolong the suffering. It's like dying from a gunshot to the guts except it takes longer. One of the worst ways to die for sure.
Sheesh, the dosimetets. I remember when i worked in sanitation in a nuclear power plant. People were "chasing pins" (pins was a colloquial term for milliseiverts) because if you got enough in a week you got time off, and uf you got enough in a lifetime, youd be relocated to the turbine side and not have to "deal with all the protective gear" on the reactor side (PWR). Im happy to say i was not that dumb xD i did accudentally get 200 millisieverts one time tho, when i leaned down infront of a valve on some tank when i was cleaning. O.2 seiverts. Strangely i didnt get the mythical time off tho. The thing beeped all of a sudden, something i had never heard it do before so i straightened up thinking something had gone wrong with it, away from the valve, and i think that was lucky. This all happened in just a few seconds. I reported the incident to the "strålskydd" (the people handling radioactive safety) and went for lunch. Nothing came if it tho. A cough and that was that, and might have been completely unrelated.
I wonder if the "1 Sievert highest non-lethal dose" was for the time (1999). I'm sure the medical field has come a long way since then. If it's just a mistake as you say, I'd be interested in knowing what WAS considered deadly in 1999 compared to now.
Even without external contamination, don´t underestimate the neutron activation of sodium, iodine and other non radioactive elements occuring in your body. Therefore, a neutron exposed victim can actually emit radiation without any contamination.
Read the book if you want to read what real horror is. Going off some animated clip is really not telling the story of the agony this man went through is doing a disservice to Mr. Ouchi.
While a medically induced coma alone or even in tandem with opioid medications wouldn’t have eliminated his suffering, it would have, in all likelihood, granted him some modicum of comfort. Unfortunately, a medically induced coma also prevents the patient from communicating changes.
When you see a real flash maybe. But there is a lower threshold where you can see radioactivity without getting a deadly, albeit high dose. The Apollo and Gemini astronauts mentioned seeing light flashes when they closed their eyes which was most likely caused by cosmic rays entering the aqueus humor in their eyes.
12:54 It's also possible the walls stopped a lot of the alpha and much of the beta radiation, lowering their dose even further.

it's not battle for survival, it's torture, i read an heard that only a few day in he said to everyone let me die quick don't interveine,,, and when you see how they "tortured" him,,, like medieval style pain,,,, horrible truely horrible, what a poor man that knew he was giving his life for his country and the humanity but what they did for 84days as he expressly said don't keep me on machine,,
as tragic as this was, and it was, the benefits to society outweigh the risks, maybe if safety measures aren't cut then things like this wont happen as much.
Sure, hydro is base load, but, on long time scales ots a bit different, in norway, where i live, we have a lot of hyrdo, and it doesn't quite work lile other base load at scale. The longer time scales are better for planning than wind for example unless you have a lot of storage, wind can be completely dead one day and might have to be shut down because of a storm the next, hydro is constant as long as there is flow, there are several types, but generally the issue is with replenishment. In norway our hydro is generally magazines way up in the mountains, relatively low flow compared to river dams at scale, but at a much higher potential energy with the hight difference. Our issue with hydro, which admittedly is a luxury problem, is that the rates of precipitation year to year varies quite a bit, the same goes for evaporation, because these ponds are melt water, if there is a lot of snow one year it fills them faster and they are also colder for longer, which effects evaporation quite a bit, hot summars also matters for evaporation, but evaporation is a small factor compared to the variation in accumulated water, this means that soemtimes we have tl export energy from hydro and sometimes we have to import energy, and as you can imagine this is also entangled with eu stuff, and prcies in general, so effectively its a short term base load that will vary a lot, how much outout makes economic sense and doesn't run out of water at any given time changes quite a bit, sometimes the snow is enough to run at max power alm the way intl summer and sometimes not. Same thkng wkth rivers and water sources, a well times large mountain storm can make a huge difference in the relative short term there as well, or monsune rain varying year to year. If you use hydro as baseload, in many places it means the capacity for import or alternative production has to be there as well, making the minimum capacity you habe ti habe higher than with just nuclear for example, depending on tje refeuling time and run time ofc, but i kind of doubt it is as bad as a very bad year for hydro power. Its not thst bad ofc, its basically free energy, when you have a tall water column.
Dont know if youve ever done something similar but id love to see you react to some tacky nuclear nasty films. Class of Nukem High taught me vats full of bubbling green ooze are basically magic. I remain dissapointed its actually a lunpnof glass and ceramic.
Ive heard this story many times in my life. I think the family inhumanely and purposelessly delayed his death and prolonged his suffering. But if you ask me, Some things that people go through, Even if there was a known 99% chance of survival. Sometimes what it takes to get there on the other end still isn't worth the suffering in some cases.
When it came to regard for his welfare, quality of care/easing end of life transition, I expected nothing less from the country that gave the world Unit 731.
17:30 is the same as when radiation is used to sterilize equipment or food (often spices). There is no contamination, and there is no residual radiation in the items irradiated.
I have a feeling that the blood donor thing works well if it is only the bone marrow that has been affected, it a much lower total dose. But in this case, having a working immune system (if thatis even going to be the case, at 21 minutes now) is not changing the fact that his skin cells are not replaced.
You said fast neutrons are upto 20 times more damaging. Can they go past 20. The European Spallation source is the strongest current neutron source. Would the neutrons there score above 20.
I have mixed feelings on how this played out, one side I feel it is sometimes worth a long shot at a miracle and maybe learn a few things perhaps like clinical trial type thing. Case like this though I also feel like If I was in the family side atleast I would have just said give it 48 hrs or something like that after that it's over. I feel like in some ways we treat pets better in this regard than people sometimes, Vets put down animals every day people this seems to be a big gray area for some reason. A relative is a chemist worked at a nuclear plant as a chemist he always said if a nuclear war came he'd want to be at ground 0.
Hey, quick question for you... They always talk about a blue flash... I know that nuclear material can have a VERY long 1/2-life... So the question is simply... IS it just a flash, or would you continue to see the blue glow? Logically (I am NOT an expert hence me asking you), it would seem like the blue glow would continue for years.. If it's just a flash, what is it that is "missing" after the first few moments that stops the blue glow? I hope my question makes sense, I know what I'm TRYING to say. LOL
If I remember correctly from other videos, the blue glow continues for as long as the reaction does. Tyler reacted to a video about the Goiana incident with radioactive powder glowing blue(I believe cesium).
the glow comes from an intense ongoing reaction. there are videos of reactor cores being active continuously, and the blue glow is present for the entire time. in events like this, the reaction is very short in duration, so the glow ends quickly. that makes it a "flash." hope this helps.
4:56 This reminds me about something that was reported about Japanese atomic energy and the companies handling it. We have a pretty favorable idea about Japan and the work done by the Japanese. Well it's how we see them now. Back fifty or sixty years ago Made in Japan was not a quality mark, just like the Made in Hongkong or now Made in China. But companies in Japan evolved the quality of their work, combined with a little industrial spionage, and today Japanese products are often in the top quality segment. Well back to the Nuclear things... I remember that the Japanese Energy Authority had done a check on safety protocols and reports for Japanese reactors, and what they found was not flattering. Problems had been deescalated so instead of reporting a safety problem it had been masked as less critical issues. The main thing was to keep costs down and production up. Some of these "issues" would have cause a lot of down time and huge costs if they had reported them as they should have. There were even some reactor where the staff would change drip buckets that were used to collect water that leaked from some of the cooling pipes. But they had still not a report on the leaks as that would cost too much money to address. Now this was perhaps ten years or longer ago, so my memory of it isn't fresh with detail. But it was interesting to see that the Japanese are also human and makes mistakes, and even cause some risks just so the company wouldn't loose money having to correct problems. I remember that it looked almost hillarious when they swapped out the buckets of water. This was performed in an area that was not considered safe. But the nuclear industry in Japan is interesting. I remember some time in the 80's I was looking at buying a VCR and looking at Mitsubishi they listed all their different branches including their manufacture of Nuclear reactors. I remember thinking that if they could make reactors I was pretty sure they would be able to make a decent VCR. So I bought a Philips VHS VCR...
Every incident could have been avoided if people would adhere to standards, instead of taking shortcuts to increase profits. It’s not like adding yeast to flour.
He only does reaction videos. But instead of just reacting to the videos he adds more information, for example when he is reacting to a nuclear related video he always will point out that the urarium ia not green or mistakes in the video and give the proper explanations
He worked as a site engineer at a nuclear power plant. His goal as he has stated before is to bring his knowledge to fight against the disinformation about nuclear energy as an environmental friendly power grid supply
I wonder if this was more a case of medical experimentation in the hopes of finding a treatment for future victims, and if this, in that case, really was ethically defendable.
34:20 While there is a cutoff, there are times when you have to do more harm by doing something "just in case" than accepting the risk. One such example is a person (ostensibly) living downrange from a space port, where rockets will crash (low altidtude rockets, not orbital). The person is evacuated by helicopter every time a launch is made and the mathematical risk of them dying in a helicopter accident is magnitudes larger than the risk of being hit by debris, and that is not taking into account the inherent risk for the crew of the helicopter. Nearly everything that has to do with radiactivity and nuclear power falls under this, because of the insane amount of antinuclear propaganda during the 1970s and 1980s.
This version of coverage really fails to relay how horrified the doctors were, and how much of it was _the family_ trying to hold on to hope... _They_ are the reason he was tortured for months. They were the ones that could not accept his fate. They were the cheerleaders of his torture. Euthanasia DOES have a place in humane medical treatment. We put pets down for terminal illness, but we _constantly_ torture relatives until they're PAST death... This MUST be a story to relay to people to LET GO of relatives when they pass. If it's their time to go, it's their time, and YOU are only going to make their time *worse* by denying reality...
@@tabithal2977i agree with them, but they weren't villains or anything like that, they wanted to hold on to him, when people are in dire circumstances and are potentially losing something very close to them, they'll try anything, and i mean anything to keep them, im sure they meant well. But In my opinion he should've been able to be set free
I'm going to be honest I feel like this is one of those instances where this person had such a high dose they should have been given the option of you know getting checked out or allowing the staff to try to save them. I mean all you have to do is just call a cop. Or you know maybe see if one of the Yakuza will be willing to help in an instance like this. I mean I imagine that there's some that you know if they're guaranteed immunity and all that that it's like they'd be perfectly fine putting someone out of their misery because let's just be real here this is a horrible way to go. For anyone wandering Yakuza are essentially Japan's equivalence of mafia's cartels gangs stuff like that. Basically the big organized crime.
I am uncertain where you would like viewers to drop recommendations for videos (if at all); I checked everywhere I knew and didn't see anything clearly labeled for suggestions. So, I will just drop here that I think you would enjoy "Explaining Nuclear Weapons in Space Combat" by Spacedock.
yeah different tissues have different life cycles/spans. Cells are differently put together, proteins, if they can't reproduce and make daughter cells, its going to be a bad time with the left over cells that can't reproduce. All cells take time to go through apoptosis, and in this case, all the DNA coding is gone, i'm surprised he was able to keep the brain going for so long.
Not to be rude but I think you have forgotten more about nuclear science than most people have learned I believe that is a qualifying factor into being an expert
look, eventhough i barely understand many of the terms used in your video, but somehow i never stopped watching the video till the end kinda like on a zoom meeting with a collage teacher, but then again i suspect that you limit using a hard words. so that a civilian like me can enjoy the video instead of throwing bunch of difficult technical terms (just like what collage teacher would probably do lol) while still providing good awareness of these difficult stuff
Now that Japan has been hit with 2 nuclear events.. first the bombs then the nuclear power plant, they must really be traumatized with all things nuclear at this point. :/
Yeah, first off, the sun will run out eventually, but more relevant is the fact that the manufacture, maintenance and eventual decommissioning of "renewables" like hydroelectric dams and sun or wind farms also produce waste. The "solution" to worn out sails from wind turbines has been huge landfills, so far.
Honestly in the US it never would have gotten to this point. We would pull in ethics committees and teams of lawyers and overrule family if it does nothing more than cause suffering. There is zero hope you are just delaying his death and making it painful.
But this would be a super rare instances where we would. There is no debate over the damage from radiation. It is physically impossible to recover these levels.
I *really* hate that kind of like cold, careless coverage...like the *nonchalant* way people discuss Ouchi and *demonize his doctors*, who really *did* believe/hope they could save him. People just *use* Ouchi for money and views, so long after his passing
1. this was a bad video to watch while eating tea 2. i know its the cowards way out but i would do my best to unalive myself if i were in that situation no way am i going to be in hospital rotting away and having my body fall apart while im alive
According to the US Department of Energy, LED lighting could save the United States 569 terawatt-hours (TWh) of energy annually by 2035. This is equivalent to the energy output of 92 power plants that are each 1,000 megawatts... Just in time for their enevitable decommissioning! 😉
No hate on brews channel but just from the AI voice alone wendigoons documentary on the event is a much better video..... Just saying don't have to react to it but it is very good

I don't know if you remember me or not , but I have commented on a video nearly one year ago , that you inspired me to study hard in high school to become an engineer and I got enough grades so that I can get to a college to study engineering , and now I have applied to my first year of engineering , ty
Congratulations ❤
Hell yeah, bro! Good luck! Study hard, and you'll do great >:D
Well done! Study hard and do not be afraid to question authority--you will go places.
Congratulations. There are many challenges ahead, but for now, focus on your education. The best thing about being an engineer, you ca't run out of challenges.
That's amazing ❤
well, if this is what lack of regeneration does to your body, then a zombie apocalypse wouldn't even be able to start
A zombie apocalypse isn't real. Without sustenance, the body fails quickly. Zombies is a reference to starving people, unprepared, in an emergency. They will eat you.
Depends on what is driving the reanimated body aka a virus or is just some sort of electrical stimulus to make the body move again.
Zombies have _always_ been a non-starter, scientifically. After rigor mortis, the body doesn't even contain the correct energy for movement _at all,_ let alone to shamble about aimlessly or think, "I'm hungry".
It takes no radiation and no additional info to rule out zombies as a _practical_ thing. ... that's why they live in fiction. Turns out, being alive and moving involves _a lot_ of chemical reactions that a dead body literally cannot perform!
@@GrantWaller.-hf6jn Nah, far more than that: After rigor mortis, a body _literally_ does not have the correct type of energy to move muscles _at all._ IRL, zombies are a non-starter.
@@ashkebora7262but good for horror stories. The dead rise up no. A virus making people blood thirsty animals. Would be more believed. Resident Evil one of the best games ever. The Bunker is awesome aa well.
the face you made at the bloody intestine says alot about how serious you are about health in the nuclear world, you made me feel what you felt
uranyl nitrate and uranyl acetate crystals actually are green-ish yellow and glowy - worked a bit with them in chem undergrad in analytical chemistry. looked very cool, they may be the source of the glowy green theme for radioactive stuff
The green comes from phosphor excited by radioactive materials. This is what the general public had wide spread exposure to and believed to be the product of radiation directly.
@@bigpatty823 Also Radium Used in Glow in he dark Dials and Watches and even kids toys was laced with Radioactive Radium as they didn't know it was deadly
Can still buy old wrist watches that are radioactive and good for getting skin cancer near watch when worn.
Radioluminescent paint was widely used on the dial faces of watches and clocks for most of the 20th Century. It is green and eerily glowy… possibly why society conflated radiation with radioluminescence.
It’s also a convenient visual shorthand - think of Homer Simpson fumbling that green glowy radioactive rod with tongs. Just having that be a nondescript black rod does not communicate danger.
Your heartfelt reaction really cut deep. Thank you for this reaction, it was great.
Your empathy 🙏 the world needs more of it. Excellent video.
I'm not huge on assisted suicide, but for fatal radiation poisoning I'm all for it. Allowing somebody to live through cases like this is just plain terrible. At that point they are just using a living being in agony as a test subject for untested medical practices.
That's what I was thinking the whole time. At some point it became obvious to them that he's not going to make it but they kept doing transfusions and just observing.
Certainly, if I get a whole body dose higher than 5Sv, please just put me out of my misery. Even if survivability is possible, I don't think I want it anymore.
Working for years as med-tech and especially w/ some of the sickest patients close to death in hospice as well as having a fairly deep understanding of physics I would have to say that for myself I would have had to be vocally opposed to this type of care. Not out of lack of sympathy for the patient, but the opposite. Death is painful and terrifying for nearly everyone when the time comes and there is no cheating "Death" so everyone deserves the respect to leave this world in the least pain and fear possible.
I do still wonder why assisted dying isn't normal treatment for worst cases.
Absofreakinglutely. Shame on all of them
I watched a video about this from Wendigoon, and it’s one of the most chilling stories on his channel.
It's a horrible way to go but I think the video of worker(s) trapped on top of a burning wind turbine is more poignant due to the seeing it happen. Trapped in a slowly dying body, or trapped on a rapidly burning tower..
@@PrivateSiwhat video is that I have yet to see that one of his
@@butterlord-nq3ei .. The most famous clip went viral at least 10 years ago but it's not a Wendigood vid. Appears in my feed sometimes if I've been looking at the downsides of renewables again. If you search 'burning wind turbines' or 'wind turbines on fire' you'll see loads of meltdowns but the one(s) (there are 2 think) of the workers trapped on one tops the lot. You will find it. I'd have jumped and possibly survived as a quadriplegic, locked-in comatose victim. On par with this radiation exposure.
I work in the oil transportation industry on a tug and barge. I agree that this was an incredibly preventable accident. Look at the deep water horizon accident. Multiple saftey regulations and devices were disregarded. This is applicable in any area when working with any hazardous material.
Yes when doing some very dangerous it does not go well to be cheap. Over engineer and things will he fine. Do it cheap people will die.
It's relevant _everywhere_ stupid humans (read: all humans) are operating. It's just not all situations can result in lethal accidents.
You should do a video on the radium girls it's quite a horrific video I don't know if you've ever seen it but it's about women that painted watch faces using radium base paint so that way people in the military could see their watches at night because when radio is exposed to light it will absorb the lights that way when it's dark and they can see their watches. And they were taught to do the lick and dip technique which even though we know that radio is just calcium's evil cousin. Because they were told radium is absolutely safe the women began painting their nails their teeth and some documentaries and article say that when they would leave work at night or go out to a bar or the ball that they would have a light glow to them and they're clothes sometimes. And because radio is so close to the makeup of calcium that it absorbs right into the bones and because they were taught to do the lick and dip technique their jaws would be the first thing to go they would normally break they lose teeth and sometimes in some cases they would swell up so badthat it would just create a huge abscess the size of a softball if not bigger and some women would lose their bottom jaw completely. And if they survived all that then they would become so weak that they couldn't even get up and it's a few women that were able to get up their bones would break just under the weight of their own body.
It takes a lot to get the waterworks going for me, but this story and your heartfelt reaction to it will do it. I remember your other reaction to a video about this accident. This is such a sad and tragic story. They should have let him go the first time his heart stopped.
This story is like 65% of why I have a DNR (Do Not Resuscitate). Doctors WILL basically torture you PAST death if there is even a false glimmer of hope of recovery. ... At least the good doctors that actually want to save lives. Literally, while your body is sitting there tapping out going, "no no, I'm done, I'm cooked, let me expire", the doctors will just be hooking you up to more machines to keep you alive.
Humans are more compassionate and understanding to _fucking pets_ than relatives... If I'm remotely close to this guy's condition, just put me down, dammit!!
@@ashkebora7262
I so wholeheartedly second that! If the outcome is known from the outset like in this case, just let me go.
"Second, there have been discussions regarding the ambiguity of whether healthcare professionals who withhold (or withdraw) life-sustaining treatment according to the guidelines should be held liable under criminal or civil law. The process guidelines are not legally binding because, although issued by the Ministry, they lack supporting statutes. Some scholars, including two of the authors of this chapter (Kodama and Tanaka), believe that legislation is necessary to ensure immunity for healthcare professionals who discontinue life-sustaining treatment."
But it feels so good to just call the doctors monsters, I guess.

You better have a will rdy.
Here they where wanting to pull the Plug. His Family won't let them, 'forcing' them to try until total Failure.
Surely wasn't nice for them either. Often it's Family and a lacking written Will wich causes unnecessary long Suffering.
That sloppiness is wild, considering Japan is the only country ever to be nuked in a war.
Always enjoy listening to your videos. The way they are narrated I can throw them on while I'm working outside or even walking. But what the heck happened to your editing in this one? It's like you posted your raw take by accident!
I noticed a lot of strange editing mistakes as well.
As someone who's lived his entire life in an area pretty heavy on hydro power, it's not without it's ecological problems as well.
Its also not without its risks. There are dam failures with casualties in the 5 and 6 figure range.
Same--the dam near my hometown in ND holds back enough water to cause massive flooding all the way down to the confluence of the Missouri and Mississippi if it ever collapses.
Some of the most heavily dependent upon hydro power are also the most rained upon with fallout from nuclear test detonations.
Dam failures, well, living not far from Johnstown...
Google it, people, it ain't hard.
I just want to say ty for your amazing work. Seeing your emotion really hit home here. Im a proud subscriber and will always be. Much luv. Cheers 🤙
I watched the old video about this case and it still makes me uncomfortable and gives me chills.
At the very least, Brew debunked the fake photo.
Makes me irrationally angry that ppl spread that burn victim photo like it's him.
It should be noted, that the reason they kept him alive for so long, was because his family kept asking the hospital to do anything possible to save him.
You need a new editor, I was thinking my anticonvulsants weren’t working when I kept hearing you rapidly repeat stuff like you expected to remove it during editing
I think he was going for that effect, to stress how out there they got with the procedure. How stutteringly stupid it was to not have adult supervision before they simplified the procedures to the reagent they desire.
Eh, it was only a little bit in the first few minutes of the video
I noticed it as well. There were a lot of cuts at 10:30 while explaining criticality and use of boron.
@@Chance88 Yes, it definitely cause a nauseating effect.
i though this was done purposely to confuse copyright bots or something.
The way I try to help people understand what cherenkov radiation is, is to use the sound of an internal combustion engine. Most people are pretty familiar with the inner workings of a four stroke engine, and that every other stroke involves a very literal explosion. That sound we hear coming from the engine is hundreds of those explosions per second, overlaying and interacting with each other.
Likewise, Cherenkov radiation is due to ionized (or electrically charged) particles emitted from the source. Moving charges, such as these ionized particles, create disturbances in the EM field, IE photons. These photons build up like a visual version of a "sonic boom", leading to a bright blue nanosecond flash. Here's where the analogy comes in, when you overlay hundreds of those sonic booms together (or in this case, kabillions!), you get what looks like a continuous blue light.
For those thinking "I thought nothing with mass can travel at the speed of light!", keep in mind that that phrase only applies to the speed of light *in a vacuum*. Due to interacting with particles throughout, light travels slower through occupied space. Water happens to have a slow enough speed of light that these highly energetic particles can keep up with the wavefront.
Obviously simplified, I just think it's neat.
There's also the Wendigoon video covering the same topic. Bit less tangential trivia if I remember correctly, and it's a long watch, but probably still worth a watch and/or reaction if you decide to tackle this topic again.
One thing worth mentioning - nuclear is the only industry where the safety regulations have killed more people than the industry itself. This is all down to nuclear not being competitive against coal - and the global total for that is very approximately 10 million extra people have died globally due to that..
Today nuclear is some 10,000 times safer than coal per unit of energy produced. Even if every nuclear plant were built and run like Chernobyl the figure would still be around 100 times safer per unit. Depressingly coal consumption is still growing even today..
Have heard this story many times over. How his family allowed his suffering to continue for so long…will never comprehend. Would demand no further “treatment” disguised as making a man into a Guinea Pig. I would end his suffering in very short order, no matter the consequences. Love is merciful. I am so sorry medical staff all just turned what happened to him into their own evil experimentations:(
If you want to look at a video series that covers this topic really well, The Ghosts of Tokaimura by the channel That Chernobyl Guy is a fantastic, well researched series.
Was about to suggest this series!!! It's chilling and heartbreaking, but it's *kind.* And truthful.
Something you never get with his story on social media...
"I'm going to go hold my breath wife and son" , that got me...😢
That's one hell of a video title. Colour me intrigued.
I think Brew did a wonderful job of explaining the incident. Did he exaggerate the onset of symptoms after expose? Somewhat. Did he give things a green glow that weren’t accurate? Yes, however that exists in common culture and he just continued the use.
Would like to see you react to some of these videos about micro reactors.
Ouchie....the man had a destiny.
Your reactions are priceless. The sheer look of "oh God, how could someone let something so idiotic happen".
On the other side of this comment, the seriousness of the situation is traumatic and awful!
Ive heard the Cherenkov glow also comes from the particles going faster than light in the water in our eyes
It happens any time a charged particle travels faster than the relativistic speed of light in the medium. In air, it's slower than the _actual_ speed of light. In water, even slower. (I think? I'm not looking it up to confirm...) It's just what happens when a charged particle goes that fast. The excess energy goes in to light, and the particle eventually slows below that speed, like electromagnetic friction that only 'bites' at excessive speeds.
On a funner note, the inverse (not literal inverse, more of conceptual inverse) of this is how the "WOW" particle got to us still containing so much energy: There was a beam of energy from a quasar/blazar whos energy was so great, that it basically kept converting between light and protons, thusly keeping it localized, while it was on its very long journey to crashing in to Earth's atmosphere. That's such a terrible explanation, but there are a few great science youtubers who already have videos out on it! SciShow and/or PBS Space Time at least.
This was a rough video for you to react to, Tyler. I hope you and yours are doing okay.
We are all doing well, thanks for asking!
Japan has always had a very easy relationship with nuclear power and weapons. This kind of accident would trigger those fears quite easily.
Yeah this is why when I worked in uranium enrichment I told my wife if I was ever involved in a criticality accident and got a lethal dose to have them just put me down, or at the very least don't prolong the suffering. It's like dying from a gunshot to the guts except it takes longer. One of the worst ways to die for sure.
My other comment disappeared anyways I wanna suggest *"Worst Nuclear Accidents in History" by Kurzgesagt - In a Nutshell*
This platform actively sabotages thoughtful discussion. I swear.
@@bsadewitz I put RUclips link in it so that's probably why
Sheesh, the dosimetets. I remember when i worked in sanitation in a nuclear power plant. People were "chasing pins" (pins was a colloquial term for milliseiverts) because if you got enough in a week you got time off, and uf you got enough in a lifetime, youd be relocated to the turbine side and not have to "deal with all the protective gear" on the reactor side (PWR). Im happy to say i was not that dumb xD i did accudentally get 200 millisieverts one time tho, when i leaned down infront of a valve on some tank when i was cleaning. O.2 seiverts. Strangely i didnt get the mythical time off tho. The thing beeped all of a sudden, something i had never heard it do before so i straightened up thinking something had gone wrong with it, away from the valve, and i think that was lucky. This all happened in just a few seconds. I reported the incident to the "strålskydd" (the people handling radioactive safety) and went for lunch. Nothing came if it tho. A cough and that was that, and might have been completely unrelated.
I wonder if the "1 Sievert highest non-lethal dose" was for the time (1999). I'm sure the medical field has come a long way since then. If it's just a mistake as you say, I'd be interested in knowing what WAS considered deadly in 1999 compared to now.
The guy in this video’s DNA was annihilated, so his cells could no longer reproduce. His body was also irridiated so he transplants he recieived died.
Maybe a stupid question……. weren’t there any kinds of instruments/ detectors that would’ve alerted them criticality was imminent ?
If they used the intended old conservative and much safer method, maybe.
Even without external contamination, don´t underestimate the neutron activation of sodium, iodine and other non radioactive elements occuring in your body. Therefore, a neutron exposed victim can actually emit radiation without any contamination.
I wouldn't have thought of other people in the building.
Read the book if you want to read what real horror is. Going off some animated clip is really not telling the story of the agony this man went through is doing a disservice to Mr. Ouchi.
While a medically induced coma alone or even in tandem with opioid medications wouldn’t have eliminated his suffering, it would have, in all likelihood, granted him some modicum of comfort.
Unfortunately, a medically induced coma also prevents the patient from communicating changes.
Ouchi. Well named.
When you actually see gamma radiation as light with your own eyes, you know it's too late for you.
When you see a real flash maybe. But there is a lower threshold where you can see radioactivity without getting a deadly, albeit high dose. The Apollo and Gemini astronauts mentioned seeing light flashes when they closed their eyes which was most likely caused by cosmic rays entering the aqueus humor in their eyes.
A Brief History of: The Tokaimura Criticality Incident (Short Documentary) by Plainly Difficult is also well done.
I simply have no words.
It's like they were trying to unmummify a mummy....
Yes please hug your family and take some time to decompress. This was a hard one not just for you but for us too.
12:54 It's also possible the walls stopped a lot of the alpha and much of the beta radiation, lowering their dose even further.
it's not battle for survival, it's torture, i read an heard that only a few day in he said to everyone let me die quick don't interveine,,, and when you see how they "tortured" him,,, like medieval style pain,,,, horrible truely horrible, what a poor man that knew he was giving his life for his country and the humanity but what they did for 84days as he expressly said don't keep me on machine,,
I always though that the blue glow was the air molecules being ionized. Anyway it means that if you were nearby, you are screwed.
It's amazing that they kept him alive as long as they did. (Doesn't necessarily mean it's a good thing).
as tragic as this was, and it was, the benefits to society outweigh the risks, maybe if safety measures aren't cut then things like this wont happen as much.
Sure, hydro is base load, but, on long time scales ots a bit different, in norway, where i live, we have a lot of hyrdo, and it doesn't quite work lile other base load at scale. The longer time scales are better for planning than wind for example unless you have a lot of storage, wind can be completely dead one day and might have to be shut down because of a storm the next, hydro is constant as long as there is flow, there are several types, but generally the issue is with replenishment. In norway our hydro is generally magazines way up in the mountains, relatively low flow compared to river dams at scale, but at a much higher potential energy with the hight difference. Our issue with hydro, which admittedly is a luxury problem, is that the rates of precipitation year to year varies quite a bit, the same goes for evaporation, because these ponds are melt water, if there is a lot of snow one year it fills them faster and they are also colder for longer, which effects evaporation quite a bit, hot summars also matters for evaporation, but evaporation is a small factor compared to the variation in accumulated water, this means that soemtimes we have tl export energy from hydro and sometimes we have to import energy, and as you can imagine this is also entangled with eu stuff, and prcies in general, so effectively its a short term base load that will vary a lot, how much outout makes economic sense and doesn't run out of water at any given time changes quite a bit, sometimes the snow is enough to run at max power alm the way intl summer and sometimes not. Same thkng wkth rivers and water sources, a well times large mountain storm can make a huge difference in the relative short term there as well, or monsune rain varying year to year. If you use hydro as baseload, in many places it means the capacity for import or alternative production has to be there as well, making the minimum capacity you habe ti habe higher than with just nuclear for example, depending on tje refeuling time and run time ofc, but i kind of doubt it is as bad as a very bad year for hydro power. Its not thst bad ofc, its basically free energy, when you have a tall water column.
Dont know if youve ever done something similar but id love to see you react to some tacky nuclear nasty films. Class of Nukem High taught me vats full of bubbling green ooze are basically magic. I remain dissapointed its actually a lunpnof glass and ceramic.
Ive heard this story many times in my life. I think the family inhumanely and purposelessly delayed his death and prolonged his suffering. But if you ask me, Some things that people go through, Even if there was a known 99% chance of survival. Sometimes what it takes to get there on the other end still isn't worth the suffering in some cases.
When it came to regard for his welfare, quality of care/easing end of life transition, I expected nothing less from the country that gave the world Unit 731.
Man that’s a tough story.
17:30 is the same as when radiation is used to sterilize equipment or food (often spices). There is no contamination, and there is no residual radiation in the items irradiated.
I have a feeling that the blood donor thing works well if it is only the bone marrow that has been affected, it a much lower total dose. But in this case, having a working immune system (if thatis even going to be the case, at 21 minutes now) is not changing the fact that his skin cells are not replaced.
You said fast neutrons are upto 20 times more damaging. Can they go past 20. The European Spallation source is the strongest current neutron source. Would the neutrons there score above 20.
I have mixed feelings on how this played out, one side I feel it is sometimes worth a long shot at a miracle and maybe learn a few things perhaps like clinical trial type thing. Case like this though I also feel like If I was in the family side atleast I would have just said give it 48 hrs or something like that after that it's over. I feel like in some ways we treat pets better in this regard than people sometimes, Vets put down animals every day people this seems to be a big gray area for some reason. A relative is a chemist worked at a nuclear plant as a chemist he always said if a nuclear war came he'd want to be at ground 0.
Hey, quick question for you... They always talk about a blue flash... I know that nuclear material can have a VERY long 1/2-life... So the question is simply... IS it just a flash, or would you continue to see the blue glow? Logically (I am NOT an expert hence me asking you), it would seem like the blue glow would continue for years.. If it's just a flash, what is it that is "missing" after the first few moments that stops the blue glow? I hope my question makes sense, I know what I'm TRYING to say. LOL
If I remember correctly from other videos, the blue glow continues for as long as the reaction does. Tyler reacted to a video about the Goiana incident with radioactive powder glowing blue(I believe cesium).
the glow comes from an intense ongoing reaction. there are videos of reactor cores being active continuously, and the blue glow is present for the entire time. in events like this, the reaction is very short in duration, so the glow ends quickly. that makes it a "flash." hope this helps.
4:56 This reminds me about something that was reported about Japanese atomic energy and the companies handling it. We have a pretty favorable idea about Japan and the work done by the Japanese. Well it's how we see them now. Back fifty or sixty years ago Made in Japan was not a quality mark, just like the Made in Hongkong or now Made in China. But companies in Japan evolved the quality of their work, combined with a little industrial spionage, and today Japanese products are often in the top quality segment.
Well back to the Nuclear things... I remember that the Japanese Energy Authority had done a check on safety protocols and reports for Japanese reactors, and what they found was not flattering. Problems had been deescalated so instead of reporting a safety problem it had been masked as less critical issues. The main thing was to keep costs down and production up. Some of these "issues" would have cause a lot of down time and huge costs if they had reported them as they should have. There were even some reactor where the staff would change drip buckets that were used to collect water that leaked from some of the cooling pipes. But they had still not a report on the leaks as that would cost too much money to address.
Now this was perhaps ten years or longer ago, so my memory of it isn't fresh with detail. But it was interesting to see that the Japanese are also human and makes mistakes, and even cause some risks just so the company wouldn't loose money having to correct problems. I remember that it looked almost hillarious when they swapped out the buckets of water. This was performed in an area that was not considered safe.
But the nuclear industry in Japan is interesting. I remember some time in the 80's I was looking at buying a VCR and looking at Mitsubishi they listed all their different branches including their manufacture of Nuclear reactors. I remember thinking that if they could make reactors I was pretty sure they would be able to make a decent VCR. So I bought a Philips VHS VCR...
Every incident could have been avoided if people would adhere to standards, instead of taking shortcuts to increase profits. It’s not like adding yeast to flour.
just found the channel so forgive the ignorance. Do you only do reaction videos?
He only does reaction videos. But instead of just reacting to the videos he adds more information, for example when he is reacting to a nuclear related video he always will point out that the urarium ia not green or mistakes in the video and give the proper explanations
He worked as a site engineer at a nuclear power plant. His goal as he has stated before is to bring his knowledge to fight against the disinformation about nuclear energy as an environmental friendly power grid supply
I’d say give them loads of food. Some minerals or metals could be idk, washed out or flooded. Lots of meat.
I wonder if this was more a case of medical experimentation in the hopes of finding a treatment for future victims, and if this, in that case, really was ethically defendable.
As always your input is great, but the editing was really weird on this one
34:20 While there is a cutoff, there are times when you have to do more harm by doing something "just in case" than accepting the risk.
One such example is a person (ostensibly) living downrange from a space port, where rockets will crash (low altidtude rockets, not orbital). The person is evacuated by helicopter every time a launch is made and the mathematical risk of them dying in a helicopter accident is magnitudes larger than the risk of being hit by debris, and that is not taking into account the inherent risk for the crew of the helicopter.
Nearly everything that has to do with radiactivity and nuclear power falls under this, because of the insane amount of antinuclear propaganda during the 1970s and 1980s.
This version of coverage really fails to relay how horrified the doctors were, and how much of it was _the family_ trying to hold on to hope... _They_ are the reason he was tortured for months. They were the ones that could not accept his fate. They were the cheerleaders of his torture.
Euthanasia DOES have a place in humane medical treatment. We put pets down for terminal illness, but we _constantly_ torture relatives until they're PAST death... This MUST be a story to relay to people to LET GO of relatives when they pass. If it's their time to go, it's their time, and YOU are only going to make their time *worse* by denying reality...
Me when you try to sensationalize this already extreme story by trying to imply thay the family were villains
@@tabithal2977i agree with them, but they weren't villains or anything like that, they wanted to hold on to him, when people are in dire circumstances and are potentially losing something very close to them, they'll try anything, and i mean anything to keep them, im sure they meant well. But In my opinion he should've been able to be set free
Hey Tyler! Was wondering if you’d react to Doctor Mikes recent video about Air pods and radiation.
I'm going to be honest I feel like this is one of those instances where this person had such a high dose they should have been given the option of you know getting checked out or allowing the staff to try to save them. I mean all you have to do is just call a cop. Or you know maybe see if one of the Yakuza will be willing to help in an instance like this. I mean I imagine that there's some that you know if they're guaranteed immunity and all that that it's like they'd be perfectly fine putting someone out of their misery because let's just be real here this is a horrible way to go. For anyone wandering Yakuza are essentially Japan's equivalence of mafia's cartels gangs stuff like that. Basically the big organized crime.
Please react to the wendigoon version of this video love your channel tho great insights
I am uncertain where you would like viewers to drop recommendations for videos (if at all); I checked everywhere I knew and didn't see anything clearly labeled for suggestions. So, I will just drop here that I think you would enjoy "Explaining Nuclear Weapons in Space Combat" by Spacedock.
yeah different tissues have different life cycles/spans.
Cells are differently put together, proteins, if they can't reproduce and make daughter cells, its going to be a bad time with the left over cells that can't reproduce. All cells take time to go through apoptosis, and in this case, all the DNA coding is gone, i'm surprised he was able to keep the brain going for so long.
As cat loving electrical engineer.
Most of us like animals.
Thats all.
What about the iron isotopes in his blood? Weren't they bombarded too? Like iron 54, iron 56 etc?
Hazardous Material Suite - is that a three piece made from toxix and(or radioactive waste?
Love your additional information, but dude, you need a video editor.
Not to be rude but I think you have forgotten more about nuclear science than most people have learned I believe that is a qualifying factor into being an expert
look, eventhough i barely understand many of the terms used in your video, but somehow i never stopped watching the video till the end
kinda like on a zoom meeting with a collage teacher, but then again i suspect that you limit using a hard words.
so that a civilian like me can enjoy the video instead of throwing bunch of difficult technical terms (just like what collage teacher would probably do lol) while still providing good awareness of these difficult stuff
Now that Japan has been hit with 2 nuclear events.. first the bombs then the nuclear power plant, they must really be traumatized with all things nuclear at this point. :/
40:24 Every resource in the universe is finite
Yeah, first off, the sun will run out eventually, but more relevant is the fact that the manufacture, maintenance and eventual decommissioning of "renewables" like hydroelectric dams and sun or wind farms also produce waste.
