Cool picture. Should have also slid right and panned left to the the nuclear power plant.

Cool picture

The upload was 8000pixels wide. The render was about 18,500 pixels....and if you didn't see it I can read the banner behind the towplane.

the nuclear power plant.

A neutron 'factory' generating lots of heat. Cooled by the Atlantic ocean. Neutron generation is probably moderated by carbon-graphite rods (or is it boron?) which absorb the neutrons and moderate the fission of uranium isotopes which decay on neutron absorption , with release of more neutrons, produce heat (to run steam turbines) as well as a variety of other radiation physics entities in a defined 'decay scheme'. Release of atmospheric Cesium from the decay is a tell tale sign of a leak in the system.

Another Spark Pilots member of this forum lives a few hundred kilometers southeast of Chernobyl (Ukraine) . Cesium isotope mapping places the track of contamination from Chernobyl on tracks , generally away from his location hundreds of kilometers south east from Kiev which is maybe 130 km from Chernobyl.

The Chernobyl reactor was enclosed in
a new containment structure so that robotic activities on the ruined core could go forward.


Long term (eternity) isotope confinement after use is a messy political and scientific topic even when planned responsibly (example Yucca Mountain containment). Transport by rail (and truck?) in well tested 'disposal containers ' is poorly received by communities through which the material would pass.
Who would want a Yucca mountain in their backyard?
I can't really remember all the key isotope decay steps from college physics but have the general process in mind.
