Yeah, that didn't age well.

I used to haul material there that was like 35 years ago we leased to home transport there were older guys that had worked at that place for years and they looked like they had over baked suntans !

The most contaminated place in North America.

😂

agreed!

The Goodwills back then must have rocked!

You should see the cactus sweater they wear at the poles.

They still do. And they still leak

Isn't a cylindrical structure stronger than a cube type storage container? What is the correct or best shape?

@@urbancraft2372 The biggest danger with storing nuclear material is nuclear reactions, i.e. the material going critical and becoming a small nuclear reactor. The best way to prevent that is to store it in a container that minimizes neutrons hitting fissionable atoms. A cylinder is the second most ideal shape to *maximize* the likelihood of a neutrons hitting fissionable atoms and causing the material to go critical. It concentrates the neutrons in the center of the container. Yes, criticality accidents have happened and resulted in injuries and one death. The least ideal practical shape is a cube. All the neutrons flying around in the corners are less likely to hit anything. Even better would be a pie tin or some other flat container that maximizes the surface area to volume. Of course this also makes the container more expensive.

@@scottlarson1548 I didn't think people really cared about criticality accidents when it comes to nuclear waste that sits idle underground away from anyone... what people care about is a strong and durable container so that the contents don't leak out and contaminate groundsoil

@@mikesully110 There have been several criticality accidents and one death in the US.

@@scottlarson1548 Yes but they were in laboratories involving spheres, none had anything to do with the storage of waste in barrels

Look, there's where Homer Simpson works !!!.

PROPERTY OF AEC ...on the coveralls.

I didnt, but the guy said "heavy metal door " as i was reading the words "heavy metal door" in your comment .

it was literally propaganda

@@og_steiney So, Not much has changed then.

All this ATOMIC POWER is making people stupid with radiation.

And we had a guy working at (large POS terminal company) who's worked for TRW and used to wear a shirt with the TRW logo on it a lot ... he didn't appreciate my cracks about "Tiny Red Wires" one bit.

(I should clarify that when a circuit board is modified because they didn't get the original design right and were too cheap to make a new board, the modifications would be done by cutting traces and adding wires, usually in a contrasting color with the green of the circuit board to make them easier to see - a common color was a pinkish red. Hence, the tiny red wires.)

They also made car parts (TRW Automotive, now part of ZF) and telephone exchanges (TRW Vidar).

Thats what I'm saying.... let's get back to beads and barter....✌️

Exactly..... Thinking Americans need to abandon this country and move on to Mexico ....can you envision a tribal life again ✌️

@@Face2theScr33n Uranium mining, nuclear waste becoming dirty bombs, accidents, and general carelessness in the industry. It's simply the most expensive and most dangerous way to produce electricity. I don't think you know what "eat their own waste" means.

@@scottlarson1548 look up “fast breeder reactor”. Also thorium reactors can process plutonium waste from traditional reactors.

@@geigertube Look up the history of fast breeders and all attempts at using liquid sodium as a moderator and a coolant. Also count the number of thorium reactors on zero hands.

@@scottlarson1548 start counting china just opened one

@@amazingentertainment9636 It's an experimental reactor just starting its tests which can all fail.

Cybersyn is one of the coolest projects any socialist government has ever attempted, trying to balance worker self-management with central and also decentralized planning. Too bad Salvador Allende was forced out via Pinochet's coup. Henry Kissinger admitted himself that he wasn't afraid of Chilean socialism failing, he was far more afraid of it succeeding because it demonstrated that socialism could be truly democratic (rather than the caricature the CIA, FBI, corporate media, and capitalist class pushed on us that all socialism is inherently dictatorial).

And how many died of cancer? I know this was the 50s. Do they still do this at the plants and around it.

"When the workers hair falls out, they get laid off."

Hanford is just AFU with radiation to this very day, 2021. Blame it on WW2.

Maybe they didn't hear the call "Action".

Buy IBM

Like some 401ks

Probably the competition product.

It's only radiation, what can go wrong ?.

Because of all this radiation, we have all those cool science fiction films from the 50's. Giant ants, ECT.
