Lisenchuk 4,501 Posted September 6, 2016 What's a "major incident"? When the bearded ones of Ramsey develop glow in the dark facial hair you know there's been a "major incident" Rhumsaa displays no incandescence to date,so we're safe for now. 1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

KERED 162 Posted September 7, 2016 Quite a few years ago there was a lady on the island who used to speak out against Sellafeild. She mysteriously "accidentally" died. And the chairman of BNFL, at the time was Con Allday. Very appropriate. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I don't know. My grandad told me about it and he couldn't remember her name when I asked for it, but if he said it happened then it happened.

Panopticon 2 Posted September 9, 2016 1.) "Review of oceanographic processes influencing radioactive waste dispersal in the Irish Sea." (1986)http://eprints.soton.ac.uk/view/subjects/GC.htmlhttp://eprints.soton.ac.uk/15099/1/15099-01.pdf I haven't checked whether Sellafield is storage only now or if there are ongoing [intentional] 'discharges'. Also I don't know enough about this generally from a technical perspective, so just flag up the above source since it *may* be of continuing relevance. Given its content, there were points noted for further investigation in 1986, whether or not Sellafield's status was later storage-only. [. . . ]"The effluent discharged into the sea from the nuclear reprocessing plantat Sellafield contains a number of radioactive isotopes of long half life.There is concern to ensure that these isotopes, particularly the [alpha] emittingisotopes of plutonium and americium, are dispersed or buried and do not presenta hazard to man. The critical future pathway to man is thought to be via theatmosphere and human inhalation of the radionuclides. This report reviews theoceanographic processes that are involved in either contributing to thispathway or to final deposition of the radionuclide, highlights the crucialfactors governing transport and exchange, and defines areas in whichinsufficient is known.Upon discharge much of the radioactivity becomes associated with thesediment particles, and the majority of the radionuclides discharged in thepast are to be found in a muddy area of the sea bed within 30km of thepipeline. This contaminated sediment undergoes intense bioturbation, and sincelittle new sediment appears to be depositing, the radioactivity is not buried,but is continually available for physical, chemical or biologicalremobilization and transport to other areas. During stormy periods physicalstirring brings the sediment into suspension and spray from breaking waves canconvey the contaminated particles into the atmosphere where they can be blownashore. In calmer periods chemical or biological remobilization may besignificant. Marine processes could also transport the particles intoestuaries and onto the beaches where, in the intertidal areas, they couldbecome windblown.It is concluded that transport is almost entirely dominated by physicalprocesses, though chemical and biological processes are important indetermining the stability of the radionuclide/particle interactions. There isa major lack of knowledge of the processes involved in the transfer and of therates of transfer which makes prediction of the ultimate fate of theradionuclides impossible at present.In particular it is concluded that studies are needed to:1. Clarify the processes by which the radionuclides become associated withthe sediment particles upon discharge.2. Determine independently the rates of erosion or deposition in the muddy areaoff Sellafield."[etc etc, see the pdf for them all] 2.) I have a tape compendium of Pathe' Newsreel excerpts from 1957 among which figures a scene of Cumberland (?) farmers pouring milk down the drains following the Sellafield/Windscale 'effusion' of October 1957, as previously cited https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windscale_fire 3) Given that the thrust of the 1986 paper seems to be the principal potential threat was via airborne particles, the relative incidence of certain types of cancer in the IoM population may or may not produce some interesting correspondences.4) Cancer and GcMAF - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KqMohmjJ4mg - August 2014 weekend intro discussion.
