"At least 35 miners were dead and three missing after a methane gas

Accidents like this happen all the time, but it will not make any impact
upon the industry.

just so..
imagine the fuss if it had been in the nuclear industry....

From that page....

!Note carefully that the fuel for nuclear reactors is totally
unsuitable and irrelevant to weapon production.!


If that's true, why the fuss about Iran?

the process is as follows...
enrichment means increasing the percentage of u235 from
the 'natural' level of ~0.7% to sommat like 3-5%.....
bombs need upwards of 90%...but that just means continuing
the enrichment process for longer....
no greater technology is required and monitoring is not

Ok..I get it.

Also, there are some wildly conflicting reports regarding deaths due
to Chernobyl - how do you decide which report to believe?
How can 4000 children with thyroid cancer be dismissed, when it's such
a rare condition?

the thyroid problem in the ukraine was due almost entirely
to the socialist government mishandling....ie, secretiveness
followed by not providing treatment....

the death rates in the chernobyl disaster are *very* much lower
than the fossil media claims...less than 200 so far.....
this is aggravated by misreporting and innumeracy...confusing
immediate death with shortened lifespans....


it is *essential* to understand the idea of lles....

"..the LLE is the product of the probability for a risk to cause death
and the consequences in terms of lost life expectancy if it does cause
death. As an example, statistics indicate that an average 40-year-old
person will live another 37.3 years, so if that person takes a risk
that has a 1% chance of being immediately fatal, it causes an LLE of
0.373 years (0.01 x 37.3).

It should be clear that this does not mean that he will die 0.373
years sooner as a result of taking this risk. But if 1,000 people his
age took this risk, 10 might die immediately, having their lives
shortened by 37.3 years, while the other 990 would not have their
lives shortened at all. Hence, the average lost lifetime for the 1,000
people would be 0.373 years. This is the LLE from that risk."
