The untold story of the world’s biggest #nuclear #bomb

Source: https://thebulletin.org/2021/11/the-untold-story-of-the-worlds-biggest-nuclear-bomb/

Designed to have a maximum explosive yield of 100 million tons (or 100 megatons) of #TNT equivalent, the 60,000-pound monster bomb was detonated at only half its strength. Still, at 50 megatons, it was more than 3,300 times as powerful as the atomic bomb that killed at least 70,000 people in #Hiroshima, and more than 40 times as powerful as the largest nuclear bomb in the US arsenal today. Its single test represents about one tenth of the total yield of all nuclear weapons ever tested by all nations.

Ukrainian Telegram channel about the atomic bomb

Our source in the Office of the President told us that Ukraine has created several variants of a dirty nuclear bomb that can be used to strike Russia, that's why it's now important for us to get permission to use missiles deep into enemy territory. (https://t.me/rezident_ua/14460) That's why #Zelensky raised the issue of joining #NATO or returning nuclear status, the strategy (https://t.me/rezident_ua/14556) was prepared long ago on the Bankova and discussed with #Britain, that's why this is the main point in the plan of victory.

The West is well aware of the fact that Ukraine has dirty nuclear bomb options and demanded to shut down all work on this track, (https://t.me/rezident_ua/14828) but Zelensky did not shut down the project.

"A major fire has engulfed BAE Systems’ shipyard in Barrow-in-Furness, #Cumbria, which builds Britain’s new generation of #nuclear #submarines.

Two people were taken to a hospital for suspected smoke inhalation after the fire broke out at the site around 12.30am on Wednesday.

Police said there was “no nuclear risk” from the incident.

“At this time there are no other casualties and everyone else has been evacuated from the Devonshire Dock Hall and are accounted for,” a statement from Cumbria Constabulary read.

BAE’s site in Barrow-in-Furness manufactures the Royal Navy’s Astute and Dreadnought submarines and is the second-largest indoor shipbuilding complex in Europe, covering around six acres.

Photos on social media showed large #flames ripping through a tall building and smoke billowing into the air. Police advised people living nearby to remain indoors and to keep doors and windows closed."

Update: REMINDER: #FIRE IN IRANIAN #NUCLEAR POWER PLANT!

It is no small thing that happened #yesterday in #Iran and yet there is still no official statement about what really happened. Well, - in war, martial law prevails in the press and so far there has only been a confirmation with a one-liner in the Jerusalem Post (https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-825932),

17.10.2024 Not Welcome Mr. President

For peace in Ukraine and the Middle East

“Mr. President: You are not welcome until you take your weapons out of Germany.
We don't want Dark Eagles and nuclear weapons. Stop your wars.”

With these words, US President Biden was disinvited last night before his visit to Germany began. Activists from Aktion Freiheit statt Angst e.V. were also present when several hundred Berliners gathered at the Brandenburg Gate under the slogan “Not Welcome Mr. President”.

The press release on the Friko Berlin event states:

Peace Coordination Berlin is calling for a protest against US President Biden's visit to Berlin on Thursday, October 17. Our protest is directed against the planned deployment of US medium-range missiles, the modernization of US nuclear weapons and their storage in Germany, the aggressive war policy of the USA towards Russia and the refusal of any diplomatic solutions as well as the open preparation of a war against China. Added to this is the current escalation in West Asia (Gaza, Lebanon, Iran, Yemen).

Jutta Kausch-Henken from the Berlin Peace Coordination says: “The USA has been supporting the genocide in Gaza for a year and is backing the brutal, deadly invasion of Lebanon. Even a war with Iran is not being ruled out and is possibly already being prepared behind closed doors. We are taking to the streets to protest against the German government's active support for this criminal US policy all over the world and the German government's silence on Israel's war crimes.”

That is why we are also supporting the protest on October 18 by an alliance of humanitarian and peace movement groups who have called for a rally in front of the Federal Chancellery from 5 - 7 p.m. under the title “For a just peace in Palestine and Israel”.

DD Geopolitics sur X : "🇮🇷☢️ BREAKING: Armenian Seismic Station Detects Possible Explosion in Iran

An Armenian station detected a 4.6 magnitude seismic event in Iran last night. Researchers noted that it lacked a seismic compressional wave, making the event more consistent with an explosion rather than an earthquake.

The seismic activity was centered in the Kavir desert near the town of Aradan, and comparisons between typical earthquake vibrations and nuclear tests suggest this event more closely resembles a nuclear test. Notably, no aftershocks were recorded, which is another clue pointing to an explosion rather than natural seismic activity.

Hanford: What a Waste - by Madi Hilly - Splitting the Atom

#nuclear #energy

"Cleaning up" the site will create more pollution than doing nothing... Nuclear is incredibly safe.

there is plenty of evidence to thoroughly assess the environmental and health risks from Hanford, covering both past operations and future exposures. It does not take much digging to discover that the gulf between public and scientific understanding of Hanford is enormous.

... policymakers in both the #US and #Europe are undertaking increasingly brazen acts of escalation designed to bring Russia to the breaking point, all premised on the assumption that all so-called “red lines” established by #Russia regarding escalation are illusionary— Russia, they believe, is bluffing.

And if Russia is not bluffing?

Then, the western-generated scenario paints an apocalyptic picture which has a weak, defeated Russia using #nuclear #weapons against #Ukraine in a last, desperate act of vengeance.

"Oracle is designing a data center that would be powered by three small nuclear reactors" alrighty then.

The data center will require more than a gigawatt of electricity.

The article says the location has been chosen and building permits obtained, but the nuclear reactor designs have not been revealed.

"Small modular nuclear reactors are new designs that promise to speed the deployment of reliable, carbon-free energy as power demand rises from data centers, manufacturing and the broader electrification of the economy. Generally, these reactors are 300 megawatts or less, about a third the size of the typical reactor in the current US fleet."

With new #nuclear stagnating and #renewables soaring – the sober reality is that nuclear #power is just too costly and too late amid crisis

Many governments around the world are under enormous pressure to expand funding for nuclear power, usually accompanied by claims that nuclear must or will play a key role in achieving climate change targets. However, the fact is that nuclear technology is in decline, and for good reason. Nuclear energy’s share of global electricity production has decreased from 17.5% (1996) to 9.2% (2023), largely due to the high costs of, and delays to, building and operating nuclear reactors.

Governments must resist pressures from the nuclear industry to fund this declining technology. These resources should be used to fund renewables and #energy storage or management options – these can and will deliver climate change objectives more abundantly, reliably, quickly, and cost-effectively.

New nuclear promotional pressure can be seen in three areas: funding for the development of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), financing new large reactors, and paying for life extension of existing reactors as they reach the end of their design life. These pressures on governments can be seen in five of the major nuclear-generating countries: the USA, France, Canada, Japan, and the UK.

"nuclear is safe"

Hanford has 1,000s of sites where nuclear waste was dumped in ditches, and is now in soil and plants. When fire finally does cross the reservation, it will re-aerosolize these radionuclides:

"350 acres burn near massive Hanford nuclear waste plant in Eastern WA, diverting workers"

"A third aging underground tank at the Hanford nuclear site is suspected of leaking highly radioactive and hazardous chemical waste into the ground, the Department of Energy said Thursday":

"Eastern WA nuclear workers who inhaled plutonium, radioactive particles are suing"

"A major #radioactive contamination threat to the Columbia River should be removed at the #Hanford #nuclear site before the end of summer.

"Hanford workers have started to pump contaminated water from the final basin of the nuclear reservation’s nine reactors along the Columbia River.

"'This effort will eliminate the risk of a leak of contaminated water to the groundwater about a quarter-mile from the Columbia River,' said Andy Wiborg, the Department of Energy acting deputy assistant manager for river and plateau cleanup."

About Nuclear Terrorism

But if Ukrainian chooses to dig in and transition the front into another artillery slug-fest, Russia will drown them in a sea of glide-bombs and massive artillery overmatch, destroying their static positions and turning it into another Khrynki-like bloodbath for the AFU. In fact, some have even suggested Putin may again “delay” their expulsion from the territory. I don’t think—as some others believe—it was a totally deliberate trap on the part of the Russian MOD, to lure the AFU into Kursk, but now that they’re here, Putin may take advantage of it by delaying their expulsion in order to openly grind up the AFU’s last remaining elite units, just like in Khrynki. After all, never interrupt your opponent when he’s making a grave mistake—if he presents an opportunity to defeat him at scale in a way that could accelerate the end of the war, then why not?

Don’t forget, the long-rumored “true offensive” was going to focus on the Zaporozhye plant in Energodar. Rezident-UA channel believes that could still be the play, with the Kursk as the first misdirection phase. Zelensky may have signaled such intentions by bombing ZNPP today, showing his obsession with the plant remains a primary focus.
