Chinese To Build Nuclear Bomb In South Of England

[PeskyWabbits 464]

Is it just me, or isn't everyone thinking this?

Apparently a Chinese owned, Chinese run, nuclear power station is good for Britain

 

Maybe we should invite Russia to build one in the north, and Iran to put one in Wales.

why will it be Chinese run? Are they sending all chinks over to build and operate it? It'll just be owned by a Chinese firm but run by Brits, like when EDF took over BE probably.

Do you mean the new one at Hinckley point?

If these Chineese and French ect can build nuclear facility's and make a profit why don't Government ran tax payer funded full on British facility's not just be built and give the taxpayers cheaper energy instead of foreign firms making money out of us ?

The same on the railways with foreign nationalised companies bleeding the British commuters dry charging the earth to ride their overcrowded perpetually delayed trains

 

If you want to see industries nationalised and run for the benefit of the British public and not foreign shareholders or governments then there's only one party to vote for...

Just an FYI, a nuclear power station is not a nuclear bomb and to the best of my knowledge cannot be turned into one.

It can however irradiate, poison and kill vast swathes of life iver vast areas around it though mate

 

Using the inverse square law, if the roof blew off that, you'd want to be roughly standing about France away !

LOL. I know that a reactor going pop ain't good fella but that doesn't make it a nuclear bomb or justify use of the term.

 

The inverse square law is for radiation as you know, in the event of a reactor melting down its the radioactive isotopes being expelled into the atmosphere that causes issues. Simple gamma radiation is fairly straightforward to deal with.

The ingested particle is certainly more deadly pal, but you will agree that you still would want a fair bit of distance between you and a big gamma source......that will be doing massive damage (although in an ever decreasing area) to everything around it.

 

Basically, you wouldn't want a pin head size gamma source on the end of your cock as a wart.......so "straightforward" is all a matter of perspective !! Lol lol

I'm not comfortable with the level of Chinese government involvement in something like a nuclear power station..

if the reactor in chernobyl had fell through that concrete floor and hit the water below. Well thats exactly what it would have been. A thermo nuclear explosion they reckoned about 50times more powerfull than hiroshima. .

 

im not anti nuclear power,but i do think that no expense or safety checks be spared when building one.

The sacrifice made by the men who went in there to drain the pool is seriously awe inspiring Definition of the word hero

It will be built with cheap Chinese steel.

If those stupid green protestor hadnt been allowed to scare monger all those years ago then we'd be building it with our technology and expertise...

With respect mate, that claim is fear mongering bullshit. As is so common with nuclear energy. https://www.physicsforums.com

 

A nuclear weapons is a hell of a precise and controlled piece of engineering. You can't just add a critical mass to a bucket of water and level a city with it.

It was only the first responders who died bravely fighting the fire. While there was a lot of thyroid cancer that is aparantly one of the easier forms of cancer to be treated. The accident was a result of doing something incredibly stupid I can't see that happening in the UK ever.
