This thing is a serious monster. I have a little trouble deciphering <a href=\"http:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Corium_%28nuclear_reactor%29#Chernobyl_accident\" target=\"_blank\">this<\/a> Wikipedia article, but from what I gather, this thing weighs 1,200 tons (2,400,000 pounds &#8211; 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.<\/p>\n<p>Holy shit.<\/p>\n<p>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. <a href=\"http:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?feature=endscreen&amp;NR=1&amp;v=rvAJ_u3Q0Hw\" target=\"_blank\">This<\/a> video shows some of the mutations from the Chernobyl meltdown (warning: these are very disturbing images, so view at your own risk).<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gallery.spaceman.ca\/v\/interests\/chernobyl\/\" target=\"_blank\">Here\u2019s<\/a> another website with a collection of Chernobyl pictures, mostly of the building itself (no mutation pictures, so unless you\u2019re upset by major destruction, this is a really cool look-through). <a href=\"http:\/\/gallery.spaceman.ca\/d\/5365-3\/f421.gif\" target=\"_blank\">This<\/a> 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.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/gallery.spaceman.ca\/d\/5596-3\/image003.jpg\" target=\"_blank\">Oh holy shit this is terrifying.<\/a> The color just makes it worse. It\u2019s like a volcano erupted indoors. Which is probably a pretty accurate analogy, plus tons of radiation to go with it. \u201c\u201dCorium\u201d 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\u2019s a mixture of fuel and various building materials,\u201d the admin says in the comments.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/news.bbc.co.uk\/2\/hi\/special_report\/1997\/chernobyl\/33005.stm\" target=\"_blank\">This<\/a> article says that Chernobyl will stay radioactive for 100,000 years.<\/p>\n<p>Radiation is just unfathomably scary stuff.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Okay I just remembered this and I regretted not tagging it so I found it again through google and yeah wow I still can\u2019t get over this\u2026 It\u2019s so horrible yet at the same time it\u2019s astoundingly intriguing?\u00a0 It\u2019s like a real-life eldritch abomination.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>this is some real life scp shit right here<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>(that video. the helicopter just fucking melts out of the sky. it was terrifying and I wish I hadn\u2019t watched it.)<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>I\u2019m watching the videos on it now. \u00a0The whole ordeal is just\u00a0unnerving\u00a0and eerie.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>jormungandr: cyberphuk: tumblino: myhairisademon: lavastormsw: bolinsboo: razzledazzy: The photo above is the closest humanity has ever come to creating Medusa.\u00a0 If you were to look at this, you would die instantly.
