nuclear bombs :( by matt on 04-11-2008 at 04:56 AM

i saw this video and got very impressed, can you image for a second how insane you gotta be in order to make something like this?

Awesome video though, especially the underwater explosion.

Excellent. =]

I have to say, those things are well impressive. Shame they're used for killing [well, that is, when they're used at all] rather than Xtreme fireworks shows...

that would be nice :D the problem is that he would have to do it in an island or something :P

I must be the only one who actually likes Bush. Then again I don't live in America. :P Anyway awesome video, but it's a bit disturbing that that many nuclear explosions have gone off, what's more there was some guy there to tape it all to inevitably end up on youtube...

Umm... They're all just bomb tests...
Only two nuclear bombs have ever been used directly against people and there has never been any nuclear explosions from any nuclear reactor (power plant or otherwise).

I may be wrong, but I dont think that Chernobyl was actually a nuclear explosion (mushroom cloud, levelled town, and what not). I believe it was just a standard explosion which resulted in massive amounts of radioactive fallout.

By 1:23:47 the reactor jumped to around 30 GW thermal, ten times the normal operational output. The fuel rods began to melt and the steam pressure rapidly increased, causing a large steam explosion. Generated steam traveled vertically along the rod channels in the reactor, displacing and destroying the reactor lid, rupturing the coolant tubes and then blowing the lid off the reactor.[9] After part of the roof blew off, the inrush of oxygen, combined with the extremely high temperature of the reactor fuel and graphite moderator, started a graphite fire. This fire greatly contributed to the spread of radioactive material and the contamination of outlying areas.

it still burns to this day.


i FINALLY got flash working on FF, and wow, the sea explosion with the boat in front really shows you what power these things have...

A disaster that spread radioactive dust over Western Europe, but as Volv correctly points out, the explosion was due to extreme coolant pressure. In fact, any nuclear powerplant that goes into 'meltdown' does something similar: an explosion caused by extreme coolant pressure.
Some modern designs of reactor are actually designed so an unmonitored reactor shuts itself down. I forget what the design is called, but I know I'd rather have that than the designs used at Chernobyl and Three Mile Island.

"The area affected by the explosion will not be safe for another 600 years."

Great. There goes my summer vacation.

Am I the only one that's surprised that over 20 years after the Chernobyl disaster that there's still no superheroes?

credit to Jimmy Carr for that joke

But let's me serious for a moment.  If there were any superheroes, they would be Russian or Ukrainian.  And since when did the West care about Russian or Ukrainian superheroes?  They never did.  Ergo, there might be superheroes saving the day in Ukraine, but we just don't give a damn.
