As a certified radiation worker it really erks me when people screw up radiation facts. If the pu238 has a half life of 88 years it doesn't mean it will be safe in 88 years. It just means it will be half the radiation it was when created. Then another 88 years to half that half. Then another 88 years to half the half that was halved. It doesn't mean it's at a safe level.... it could be hundred of years before that happens. 88 years is a relatively low half life in perspective though. There is radiation with 100,000 years half life and 20,000 year. So we are very lucky it wasn't one of those.
Surely shorter half lives = more dangerous as the element’s radioactivity is more intense, therefore more radioactivity = element loses radioactivity quicker = shorter half life, so an isotope with a half life of 88 years is capable of causing more harm to life in a shorter amount of time than one with a half life of 100k or millions of years. Sure, those will hang around for longer, but are far less spicy.
Yahman. Learned this in seventh grade. Thank you. According to the fact that the EU has lowered their import nuke range from 100 bcc to 1000 in less than 80 years should tell the public allready everything. We can clean up after, but the way is another. No wonder the written scripts of ancient tell us not to f* around with glowing stone and give out shiny stones instead. But then they invent capitalism instead of survival and censor everything to the point of 18 major strikes in less than 3 minutes. Telling doesn' t seem to help much.
I've worked with both Pu239 and Pu238 and I really didn't like working with Pu238, its so specifically active the tiniest little pin prick in a glove would cause serious problems, if I had any kind of issue ie catch or snag a glove on something I would stop what I was doing carefully take my double gloved hands out of the glove box and carefully monitor my arms up to my shoulders as was as my hands for Alpha, every time I was sent to work in the Pu238 lab I'd have to plan everything out in detail and work in stages, I'd makes sure I stopped what I was doing in stages and monitor myself just to be safe, thankfully I was and never had a problem.
If a nuclear bomb were placed in the ocean, whether or not it could still explode depends on its condition, design, and the specific circumstances surrounding it. Nuclear weapons are engineered to be highly secure, with multiple safeguards to prevent unintended detonation. Factors that would determine if it could still explode include: 1. Deterioration and Corrosion: If the bomb has been underwater for a long time, exposure to seawater can cause significant corrosion and damage to its components, potentially rendering it inert. 2. Arming Mechanisms: Nuclear bombs require a series of steps to be armed and detonated. If these mechanisms aren’t initiated correctly, the bomb would not explode. 3. Safeguards and Fail-Safes: Modern nuclear weapons come with fail-safes to prevent accidental detonation. If a bomb has these features intact, it would not explode even if triggered improperly. 4. Design Type: The type of bomb matters-whether it’s a basic fission bomb or a more complex thermonuclear device. Some designs are more vulnerable to damage than others. In summary, while a nuclear bomb could theoretically still explode underwater if it were intact and properly armed, it’s unlikely in most scenarios, especially if it has been subjected to prolonged exposure to the ocean environment or lacks activation.
@@josephamaral419yes.. that's why of all the nuke warheads only about 40 percent are deployable.. remaining are either stored or their status, arming mechanisms, structural integrity etc. under evaluation
Also we will never have to worry about Russia lol. The corruption there I can guarantee they never changed the fissile material such as plutonium or uranium in their nuclear weapons. It can change in composition over time, affecting the weapon’s efficiency or reliability. Nuclear weapons require ongoing inspections, testing, and maintenance to ensure they remain safe, secure, and functional over time. Without maintenance, the reliability and safety of these weapons could be compromised
Thank you, I thought somebody had to correct that major gaffe in the video. There's more to the gaffe as well: Unlike the cartoon animation's depiction (BTW, the C-17s shown in this video did not exist back then), the aircraft involved were one B-52 and one KC-135 air-tanker, undergoing a mid-flight refuel so the bomber could make its trip back to the U.S. after flying to the border between West Germany and East Germany. To this day nobody really knows what went wrong and caused them to collide; but collide they did.
Yep, I was wondering if anyone else caught that. Yeh, thats the one that dropped into Georgia and almost detonated! We have had astronomically good luck so far. But such luck as this will not last forever. We need to banish 99.9% of all these weapons from the face of the planet. (Maybe keep ten or twenty for some unseen emergency.) Good luck!
These videos piss me off... They get all of there info wrong.. That bomb in a tree was in North Carolina. The bomb in the ground was never retrieved and the one in the tree is the one that almost went off.Another video on this channel said the trinity bomb was dropped from a plane. Its probably made with AI .. and nobody proof reads
I believe that one of our bombers, in 1966, had a collision mid-air with something and lost its bombs. But was it really another bomber that it collided with? In only 24 years humans lost at least 32 nukes?! If I were another species observing our antics I might feel a bit nervous with us in the neighborhood. But would I clean up after the people next door? What is the connection between nuclear weapons and visits to our planet by extraterrestrials? I'm sure we would all love to know the truth. Just be careful what you wish for.
Man, I would hate to be one of the guys that had to retrieve the un-exploded bombs, then I'd hate to be one of the guys told to open it and make sure its disarmed. talk about stressful
Oh wow the vocal fry on the AI you chose to narrate this is obnoxious AF. As someone who watches this channel sometimes, I made it less than 2 mins and had to stop because I couldn’t’ take it. Pick a different voice pleaseeeee.
"are nuclear weapons really the most dangerous weapon humanity possesses when you consider mines?" YES goddammit, YES. an entire COUNTRY can't be made uninhabital by a MINE. ffs
How does a bomber crew confuse a nuclear detonation with at best a flaming plane? What are the chances a lost device just goes off bc of deterioration?
Unlikely. But who knows, maybe, under some circumstances they could. Chances are greatest when they first are lost. Conventional explosives have a greater chance of accidental detonation. Depending on the bomb type its another matter. I think the fission weapons, if we still maintain a stockpile of them would be the ones keeping me up at night, but an accidental explosion of a fusion weapon I find highly unlikely. What do you think?
why even train with nukes ? a training dummy bomb would do the exact same thing, it's so damn stupid. one would think after the first incident they would of made serious changes .
This level of disregard for life can only be clasified as pure facism, and only the military could get away with it. Further, only military men have the level if inteligence and the training necessary to perform such actions!! There was a group of Europeans in the first half of last century carrying on with this level of disregard for life, who were led by a failed artist. I guess we now know where they ended up!!

So basically it will never be safe.

Another thing, not sure if true but don't Nukes require "maintenance" as well?

Honey wake up! New Riddle video without fact checking just dropped
nanda devi is my favourite himalayan peak so beautifull . I have always heard stories of the nuke in that region .
All the devices were found at Palomares, they used the deep sea submersible Alvin to find it, it was eventually retrieved from a depth of 22500 feet.
