Some Russian idiots sneak into the Chernobyl reactor and swim in the waste water in the basement in an attempt to get into the main radioactive chamber... I wonder if these guys have cancer yet...

@freemo the author of xkcd wrote a book called what if in which he analysed this very scenario. Iirc water acts as a great moderator to slow down the radiation and unless they dived to close proximity to the rods they would probably die from security firing on them rather than the radiation.

@smartbrain Th issue wouldnt be the radiation directly, it would be from swallowing some water or absorbing it with radioactive particles that then decay inside your body.

@freemo no they don't because radiation is not what you think it is. Gaylen Windsor ate uranium, drank cooling pool water, and swam in cooling pools for years and died of natural causes at like 80 something years old. radiation is fake and gay and so are nukes
@freemo ok, explain how people live in hiroshima and nagasaki even though radiation science claims they should be unhabitable for thousands of years? Explain why the world has not died from the "lethal" amounts of radiation from fukushima spilling into the ocean? It's been a decade and we should all be dead from this extinction level event if radiation was deadly. we are alive because it is not deadly.

@runfox I've argued with enough idiots over the years with your sort of attitude to know that even if i give you the correct explanation in excruciating detail you will neither be capable or willing to understand it no matter how obvious or simple it may be. So why would I waste y time?

After all if you were truly capable you would have googled the answer and already know or at least have appropriate questions.

Can't cure stupid.

@freemo It's because you're an idiot, you have to insult rather than answer something you know you can't answer. My questions were appropriate and you're a retard who has been stumped. lol
@freemo aren't you too busy to argue? Or just when you're stumped and can't answer a simple question or two?

@runfox I know how what i typed might seem time consuming and take a lot of effort for someone of your intellect but I assure you it took no effort or my part.

@freemo you're so busy you can't answer a simple question about radiation yet here you are going back and forth with me anyhow, lol. I am glad you're spending your time pursing such lofty goals. while you're here, explain how this dude died of natural causes after eating uranium at hundreds of talks for years and drinking and swimming in cooling pool water throughout his long career in the nuclear industry:

@freemo I'll wait for the detailed explanation you claim you can provide, but are somehow too busy to provide

@runfox yes,please wait eagerly by your computer for that. I'm sure ill have a write up for you any time now. Don't go anywhere!

@freemo "even if i give you the correct explanation in excruciating detail you will neither be capable or willing to understand it no matter how obvious or simple it may be"

I am here willing to learn from your "correct and excruciatingly detailed" explanation. I am willing to understand.

What's the hold up?

@runfox Read the literature out there that answers your question. If you show me you have more than two brain cells to rub together and have some questions to ask that demonstrate to me you are sincere in trying to learn but just dont understand some aspects, then I will be happy to help. So far however you've just acted like a person with a terminal case of dunning-kreuger.

Here is a short intro that addresses your original assertion:

@freemo Sorry, but all insults aside, I want you to explain it in excrutiating detail and correctly, as promised, not fallback someone else's work. You're so intelligent, and I am so incapable, so you should show me how well you personally understand it, so I can learn from your sage like level of knowledge and wisdom.

@runfox You think I give a flying fuck what you want.. I have no reason to repeat the effort that countless others have done, nor did I **ever** promise I would explain it in excruciating detail for you.

You now have a link with your answers, if your too ignorant to understand it thats your problem, not mine. I wont be the victim of your mental health disorder and waste my time if I see no indication you are capable.

@freemo you're such an intellectual and you're so much smarter than me, it's only write that you make good on your claim to give me a correct and excruciatingly detailed answer explaining how it is that galen windsor nuclear physicist who designed nuclear reactors for a living, managed to drink cooling pool water for years, swim in cooling pool water for years, and eat uranium hundreds of documented times on film, and somehow managed to die of natural causes in his 80's in 2008 or something. How can it be so, if what you say is true? Come on guy, you're the one claiming to be so intellectually superior. Explain to me like I am 5, and don't forget the excruciating details part, or the correct part
