i believe there was no characteristic double pulse of light from a nuclear detonation...There's more at the link.
Any explosion with sufficient power will produce a “mushroom” cloud the shape of the cloud is due to the force rebounding off the earth and shoving debris into the air. I very much doubt there was a “nuclear” explosion that included uncontrolled cascading fission - I do not doubt that there may have been an explosion involving nuclear material as debris due to the proximity of the explosion to that material. There were sufficient sources of flame and fuel for any number of explosions to occur.
A nuclear excursion or criticality accident is possible and has happened several dozen times since 1945; this may be another such accident. Nuclear explosion? I’d like to see what isotopes are present if they are claiming that outcome. As for the “mushroom” cloud, no, that is not evidence of a nuclear yield, at least not with the size observed.
This isn’t making sense to me.
If there WAS a true nuclear explosion, I doubt anything would have been left standing UNLESS it was a very, VERY tiny explosion. It perhaps could have been a “fizzle” explosion, where the chain reaction doesn’t quite go anywhere and “fizzles out”. A small number of the bombs exploded in nuclear testing in the 50’s and 60’s were ‘fizzles’, but they were still pretty powerful explosions.
shitsure kedo moshikatara, honYaku desu ka?
Great material, btw...sugeeeh....
:(
jeez...do any of these people over there have any idea what they’re talking about???
i believe there was no characteristic double pulse of light from a nuclear detonation...NUCLEAR EXPLOSION????
TOTAL B.S. In order to have a ‘Nuclear Explosion’ you have to have a critical mass of 95% or greater enriched uranium. Fuel grade uranium rods are less than 3% enriched.
A nuclear explosion can ONLY occur as a deliberate act under controlled conditions. It is simply not a possible result of a meltdown.
The only thing explosive here is the rhetoric.
The fuel is not enriched enough for a nuclear explosion.
Sorry, but no sale.
The explosions were chemical resulting from various oxidations of elements and compounds. To have a nuclear explosion you need either fission or fusion, both of which are many magnitudes greater.
