how can you stop a nuclear missile
Bookmarked 462 weeks ago
when i was growing up in england in the 1970s and though the 1980s in particular there was an almost palpable fear that a nuclear exchange could break out between the superpowers at almost any time you can now translate this and other curious droid videos see my video about it here https:wwwyoutubecomwatchv=xlpvgiytkygthe curious droid merchandise shop is now open too on teespring : https:teespringcomstorescurious-droidit caused me and many others around at the time to wonder was there a way to stop a missile attack but to be honest there was very little you could do if you lived in a big city or near a military base there was nothing to stop an icbm or intercontinental ballistic missile once it was on its way and with the 4 minute warning we would have in the uk you might as well have one last game of missile command and hope for a quick endroll on 35 years and although we now live in a time of where the threat from nuclear attack is much less its still present even if i

hereby follows the propaganda: when nuclear fuel is sent from britain039s nuclear power stations to sellafield for reprocessing a simple procedure is used which now has been carried out more than 14000 timesthe fuel rods are first cooled for at least 90 days at power station by immersing them in ponds when taken out of storage the heat coming from each rod has dwindled to about 25 watts - roughly equivalent to a small electric light bulbabout 200 rods at a time are loaded into an open top steel skip which is then placed inside a special container called a flaskthe flasks are very robust - they weigh around 50 tons and have walls 35 cm thick16 bolts each able to take a load of 150 tons without breaking secure the lidthe flasks are forged out of two blocks of steel when finished each flask is worth half a million poundsstringent manufacturing and performance standards have to be met these are drawn up by international atomic energy agencyto meet these standards the industry has developed a comprehensive testing program literally hundreds of impact tests have been carried out using scaled models dropping them so that they land from all sorts of different anglesin 1983 to enhance public confidence in the flasks a full scale testing of an actual production flask in real life conditions was beguna three locomotive train was smashed into a flask going at 100mphpublic money

cannikin largest underground thermonuclear test
Bookmarked 616 weeks ago
cannikin was detonated on november 6 amchitka island alaska 1971 as the thirteenth test of the operation grommet 1971--1972 underground nuclear test series the announced yield was 5 megatons 21 pj -- the largest underground nuclear test in us history estimates for the precise yield range from 44 to 52 megatons or 18 to 22 pj the ground lifted 20 feet 6 m caused by an explosive force almost 400 times the power of the hiroshima bomb subsidence and faulting at the site created a new lake over a mile wide the explosion caused a seismic shock of 70 on the richter scale causing rockfalls and turf slides of a total of 35000 square feet 3300 m2 though earthquakes and tsunamis predicted by environmentalists did not occur a number of small tectonic events did occur in the following weeks some registering as high as 40 on the richter scale thought to be due to the interaction of the explosion with local tectonic stresses

about ufos and nuclear weapons although most people are completely unaware of its existence the ufo-nukes connection is now remarkably well-documented us air force fbi and cia files declassified via the freedom of information act establish a convincing ongoing pattern of ufo activity at american nuclear weapons sites extending back to december 1948moreover these mysterious incursions are not ancient history so to speak occurring only during the cold war era indeed evidence suggests that multiple ongoing incidents have taken place near icbm sites operated by fe warren air force base in wyoming as recently as june 2011for nearly 40 years noted researcher robert hastings has sought out and interviewed former and retired us air force personnel regarding their direct or indirect involvement in nuclear weapons-related ufo incidents these individualsranging from retired colonels to former airmenreport extraordinary encounters which have obvious national security implications in fact taken to their logical conclusion these cases have planetary implications given the horrific consequences that would result from a full-scale global nuclear warsignificantly the ufo activity occasionally transcends mere surveillance and involves direct and unambiguous interference with our strategic weapons systems numerous cases include reports of mysterious malfunctions of large numbers of nuclear missiles just as one or more ufos hovered nearby declassified soviet ministry of defense documents confirm that such incidents also occurred in the former ussrto date hastings has interviewed more than 130 military veterans who were involved in various ufo-related incidents at us missile sites weapons storage facilities and nuclear bomb test ranges the events described by these individuals leave little doubt that the us nuclear weapons program is an ongoing source of interest to someone possessing vastly superior technologyon september 27 2010 hastings hosted the ufo-nukes connection press conference at the national press club in washington dc during which seven us air force veterans discussed ufo incursions at nuclear weapons sites during the cold war era cnn streamed that event live the full-length video is below:http:wwwufohastingscomthe witnesses said that they felt compelled to speak out about the reality of ufo activity at nuclear weapons sites and urged the us government to finally reveal the facts to the american people and the rest of the worldsince 1981 hastings has presented his research findings at more than 500 colleges and universities nationwide and possesses hundreds of highly favorable letters of recommendation from sponsors quoti am not condemning any government agency for its policy of secrecy regarding ufosquot says hastings quotbut i believe that the public should be given the factsquothastings believes that ufos are piloted by visitors from elsewhere in the universe who for whatever reason have taken an interest in our long-term survival he contends that these beings are occasionally disrupting our nukes to send a message to the american and sovietrussian governments that their possession and potential large-scale use of nuclear weapons threatens the future of humanity and the environmental integrity of the planet in short washington and moscow are being warned that they are quotplaying with firequotto suggest that this scenario is the only explanation for widespread ufo sightings during the modern era would be presumptuous simplistic and undoubtedly inaccurate nevertheless hastings believes that the now well-documented nuclear weapons-related incidents are integral to an understanding of the mystery that confronts ussometimes reality is indeed stranger than fictioncopyright cnn 2012
