Someone asked ChapGPt to come up with 10 Commandments for the modern world. I could be guided by these principles. Perhaps a new religion is in order?
Had to post a picture of my cat enjoying the winter weather in his cute sweater.
Let this sink in for a minute...
Of all the mammals on Earth, 96% are livestock and humans.
Only 4% are wild mammals.
Of all birds in the world, 70% are chickens and other poultry, just 30% are wild.
@Pat Ok, but I must say, 1182 seems insanely high. Who on earth came up with that number? To the best of my knowledge, no one with any kind of credentials worth a damn claims over 100. The best estimates I have seen seem to be around 75, including cancer. If I have bad information here, I'd like to correct it. The only nuclear power plant accident killing anyone was Chernobyl, and that took Russians to make happen. It's not like anyone else would even think of doing stuff their way.
@Pat That seems insanely low. Over 6,5 million people have died from covid so far, and that's over a few years. Nuclear power generation started in 1954, and we have less than 100 deaths from that. I don't know the calculation behind the 5000 number you give, but to me, it seems that number should be about 65000 if you ignore the time frame and about 2 million if you correct for the length of time involved. I would also want to take into consideration that each time an accident has occurred, it's been made impossible for that accident to occur in the future, so even 2 million is certainly too low.
@bojacobs There's 2.4g of tritium in 1,250,000 tons of water there. In order to reach LD50 for tritium over 400 days, you'd need to drink over 7 tons of undiluted water for each of those days. I chose 400 days since the biological half-life of tritium is 40 days and ignored that most would have left your system before then and the fact that drinking 7 tons of water in 1 day would kill you.
@mguhlin As a rule, we speak English to make things easier for everyone involved. But that's a perfect translation by the app there, I didn't know they were that good these days.
@neglesaks Thank you =)

Where is that graph from? I'd like to bookmark the site.

Just in case someone is getting the wrong picture here, I'll point out that 1 gram of caesium 137 has an activity of 3.2 terabequerel.
The upper red box starts at 1.4 megabequerel, so that's less than one 2 millionth of a gram.
There are measurable radioisotopes there, but you do need special equipment to find them. Also, about half of the stuff is gone now due to decaying into stable elements.
