Fission vs Fusion
Guess which one is 100 times more powerful?
A "Peanut" nuclear device they were.
Glad we all got that out of our psyche.
We have bigger problems now.
Sunamis
Bhopal
Three Mile Island
Chernobyl
Half life is hard to understand for most, and easily (the number doubled) to think it's gone.
Not so, when a 100th of a percent will kill you (us). This # is deceptive (false sense of security), and may last (consequences) for decades.
I remember seeing Cousteau(sp) visiting Bikini Atol. Finding Crabs as big as "Man-Hole" covers, but they couldn't eat them because they were full of Radiation (glowed in the dark, so to speak).
These are some numbers of some Isotopes released at Chernobyl compaired to the Hiroshima bomb.
Caesium-137...890 to 1
Strontium-90...87 to 1
Iodine-131...25 to 1
Xenon-133...31 to 1
Bombs(fission) release (usually) more at detonation (and then burn up), but leaks(fusion) are definately...worse.
Their effects linger.
By the percentages indicated.
Europe has yet to find out what the consequences of Chernobyl are.
