The First Atomic Bomb Test in 1945 Created an Entirely New Material

The discovery from the Trinity nuclear test site shows how extreme conditions can result in materials never before seen in nature or in the lab.

"A uranium ore haul truck traveling from a uranium mine in the Havasupai's homeland in the Grand Canyon, to a mill site in the White Mesa Ute's community in Utah, was struck by a vehicle, which exposes the danger from the #radioactive haul trucks covered only with tarps. The trucks travel from #EnergyFuels #PinyonPlain #UraniumMine in the #GrandCanyon, from #Havasupai ancestral land, through #Flagstaff, and across #Navajo and #Hopi lands before reaching Energy Fuels mill site on Ute ancestral land in #Utah." -- Censored News

This one’s always kinda stuck with me as it was a tune I was playing on the radio one night in 1984 at the infamous 100,000 watt flamethrower known then as KPNY in Alliance, Nebraska when a nice lady called and asked if I wanted to participate in an orgy happening in Angora, Nebraska, about 30 minutes away. I thanked her and told her “No, thank you.” That was some interesting shit. 😉

As one unit at #ThreeMileIsland eyes restart, decommission of other stalls
"March 28 1979, Unit 2 experienced partial core #meltdown due to cooling failure.. At the time of #accident, te failure of a pressure valve to close allowed cooling water to escape as steam, with #nuclear fuel ultimately melting in te overheated reactor core. When operators reintroduced water, #radioactive material spread thru . other buildings.. EnergySol'ns plans to remove #contaminants by 2029"🤦‍♂️

FOCUS: As one unit at Three Mile Island eyes restart, decommission of other stalls

As the Three Mile Island nuclear power plant in Pennsylvania prepares to restart one of its two reactors to power AI data centers for Microsoft, the decommissioning of the other, whose partial meltdown decades ago led to longstanding concerns about nuclear safety, will likely be delayed.

#Chernobyl #Fungus Seems to Have #Evolved an Incredible Ability
Clinging to walls of one of most #radioactive buildings on Earth, scientists have found a strange black fungus curiously living its best life.
Fungus called Cladosporium sphaerospermum, and scientists think its dark pigment – melanin – may allow it to harness ionizing #radiation through a process similar to the way plants harness light for photosynthesis. Proposed mechanism is referred to as #radiosynthesis.
