Climate change is not a myth. However, we are not being told the full story. Look at the effects of #nuclear #waste look at the number of nuclear weapons test done each year. Look at the effect nuclear actually has on the climate and our home planet. But of course, telling the truth you will then be labeled as "Anti-Nuclear" - a crime against the industry
The radioactive fallout from the 1957 fire at the Windscale site, since renamed Sellafied, was far worse than originally claimed. The site operated two nuclear reactors to manufacture plutonium for UK nuclear weapons.
The Irish Centre for High-end Computing calculated the fallout distribution using wind and rain data from the time, and found that the fire, which burned inside a nuclear reactor for 3 days, spread radiation across the British Isles, and Northern Europe.
Below is their computer recreation of the spread of radiation from the Windscale Fire.
"Revisiting the 1957 Windscale Nuclear Accident using Atmospheric Reanalysis data"
A look at the 1957 Windscale Fire in what later became the Sellafield Nuclear site. Using advanced atmospheric datasets unavailable at the time, we take a look at how the event may have affected Ireland.

This is the Chernobyl Dice: a Cold War era themed quantum RNG. It uses the clicks of a Geiger counter nestled next to an array of uranium glass marbles to generate random bits displayed on Nixie tubes.
This is a *disgustingly fair* dice and I’ve run the tests to prove it, lol
We’re suckers for the Fallout aesthetic, so anything with a post-apocalyptic vibe is sure to get our attention. With a mid-century look, Nixie tubes, a brushed metal faceplate, and just a tou…
