    This is hilarious to me, kinda gonna doxx myself a bit here but not really. I live right next to one of the biggest nuclear messes on the planet, right here in the U S of A baby. Huge clean up effort, and she sure is right about America not caring about nuclear accidents, she got that second half wrong though they don't give a shit about how deadly it is. I know tons of people who work at the site, and it's nothing but horror stories, engineers get some especially good ones digging through old documents. One guy I know is helping work on a building that's one of the hottest spots in the country radiation wise. Basically the story behind it is that some scientists dropped some Cesium on a Friday afternoon in a sealed room, one problem though: it was beer thirty and spilling nuclear material was sounding like Monday's problem. They got there on Monday, mess magically cleaned itself! and by cleaned itself it actually corroded down into the soil and that patch of dirt is so hot that if the radiation didn't kill you then temperature would.

    This is only one example. What a joke.

            Yeah the Hanford site I know all about the Hanford site, the vit plant's never gonna fucking happen lmao. Also that Cesium spill is about to hit the Columbia, but they've actually done a decent job cleaning that one up, it's under the 324 building, which is maybe 200 feet from the river. It's actually kinda fun you can look at the site on google maps but if you look at it (from a distance you can't actually go to it without being shot bc y'know, it's a bunch of nuclear waste) you can see it's different than what you see on google maps. If you look on google maps carefully you can see what parts are copied and pasted over with other parts of the desert

            I just listened to the Dollops about that and the fire that's been burning underground in that town for 40 years. If the US had had a Chernobyl like disaster, I don't know what would have happened. Wasn't Reagan pretty out of it by 1986?

      One of those sentences you do not expect to ever read.
