      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

    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.

      "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."

    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.

    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..

    • @ashkebora7262
      @ashkebora7262 2 месяца назад

      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.

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.

    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.

    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.

      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.

    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.

Sometimes what it takes to get there on the other end still isn't worth the suffering in some cases.

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.

    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

    • @joshmerchant8737

      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.

  • @blahorgaslisk7763
    @blahorgaslisk7763 2 месяца назад

    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...

    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...

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.
