MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 28, 1979: Three Mile Island (TMI) nuclear power plant, in Pennsylvania, had a level-5 partial meltdown, the worst nuclear power accident in U.S. history, and one of the worst in the world, prior to Chernobyl. TMI operators had not been adequately trained to handle the type of malfunction that led to the meltdown and, consequently, a delay in mitigation efforts. Clean-up began in 1993, at a cost of $2 billion in today’s dollars. Officials concluded that the release of radioactive material from the plant did not raise exposure levels of nearby residents to a level that would increase cancer cases by even one additional case. However, anti-nuclear groups hired their own independent investigators who found that radiation levels in the area were significantly elevated. A peer-reviewed study by Dr. Steven Wing found a significant increase in cancers from 1979-1985 among people living within ten miles of TMI. And in 2009, Dr. Wing said that the amount of radiation released during the accident was likely "thousands of times greater" than the NRC's estimates. </p><p>In 2024, Bill Gates obtained exclusive rights to the “carbon-free” energy from TMI, once it reopens, to power his Artificial Intelligence farms, starting in 2028. Other Tech Barons are also looking to exploit nuclear power for their energy-hungry AI farms. Data centers currently account for about 1 to 1.5 percent of global electricity use. NVIDIA will be shipping out over 1.5 million AI server units per year by 2027. These servers, alone, would consume at over 85.4 terawatt-hours of electricity annually, more than many small countries use in a year. Yet, the U.S. still has no permanent radioactive waste storage facilities. As of 2023, the U.S. had roughly 88,000 metric tons of spent nuclear fuel from commercial reactors, and all of this is stranded at the reactor sites. Experts expect this number to grow by 2,000 metric tons each year. </p><p><a href="https://www.cnn.com/2024/09/20/energy/three-mile-island-microsoft-ai/index.html" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">cnn.com/2024/09/20/energy/thre</span><span class="invisible">e-mile-island-microsoft-ai/index.html</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/the-ai-boom-could-use-a-shocking-amount-of-electricity/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scientificamerican.com/article</span><span class="invisible">/the-ai-boom-could-use-a-shocking-amount-of-electricity/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://www.scientificamerican.com/article/nuclear-waste-is-piling-up-does-the-u-s-have-a-plan/" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">scientificamerican.com/article</span><span class="invisible">/nuclear-waste-is-piling-up-does-the-u-s-have-a-plan/</span></a></p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radioactive</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclear</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/threemileisland" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>threemileisland</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclearaccident" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclearaccident</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radiation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radiation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclearwaste" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclearwaste</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/artificialintelligence" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>artificialintelligence</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/ai" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ai</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/billgates" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>billgates</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/chernobyl" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>chernobyl</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/cancere" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>cancere</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a></p>

OK, this is another version from the previous one posted here few days ago (back on Thursday). In this version, some more details are discernible as I've darkened some areas. With this shot, this macro series (which was shot on February 8th) is over. I still have some more to come, and I'm working already on some more shots to the best of my ability. I want to try more night long exposure in the neighborhood (can't go far), but things aren't going smooth at the moment (and people probably aren't in friendly term with someone walking with a camera alone after midnight shooting around their homes). Anyway, we'll see what can be done in this regard. <br>

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History March 1, 1954: The U.S. detonated Castle Bravo, a 15-megaton hydrogen bomb on Bikini Atoll. It caused the worst radioactive contamination ever by the U.S. However, this occurred after years of nuclear testing and contamination of the islands and waters around them. The U.S. detonated 23 nuclear devices on the islands from 1946 to 1958. They blew up the bombs on the reef, in the sea, in the air and underwater. They relocated islanders several times, each time to supposedly safe islands. But they neglected to provide sufficient food and water, causing starvation. When the islanders tried to catch fish to eat, or grow their own crops, they were so contaminated from radioactive fallout, that it poisoned all who ate it. Women started having miscarriages and giving birth to babies with abnormalities. To this day, it is still too contaminated for inhabitants and their descendants to return. A trust fund that had been set up to help support the survivors ran out of funds in the late 2010s.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bikini" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bikini</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/islands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>islands</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclear</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radioactive</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/bomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>bomb</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/contamination" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>contamination</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/coldwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldwar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/castlebravo" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>castlebravo</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenousrights" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indigenousrights</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/imperialism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>imperialism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/forcedmigration" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>forcedmigration</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/genocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>genocide</span></a></p>

Asbestos<p>One thing to remember: When people used to put radium in all sorts of things to put on and in your body, the main reason more people did not die is that actual radium is quite expensive.

MikeDunnAuthor<p>Today in Labor History February 18, 1955: The U.S. launched Operation Teapot at the Nevada Nuclear Test Site. Teapot included 14 nuclear bomb tests. Wasp was the first, detonated on February 18. It had a yield of 1.2 kilotons. During shot Wasp, ground forces participated in Exercise Desert Rock VI. This included an armored task force moving to within 3,000 ft of ground zero, while the mushroom cloud was still growing. From 1945 through 1962, the U.S. conducted 230 atmospheric nuclear weapons tests, with approximately 235,000 military personnel participating. Most were enlisted men, from the navy. However, millions of people were exposed to the fallout from U.S. nuclear weapons tests in the southwest of the U.S. and the Marshall Islands. University of Arizona economist Keith Meyers estimates that radioactive fallout was responsible for 340,000 to 690,000 American deaths from 1951 to 1973.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/workingclass" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>workingclass</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/LaborHistory" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>LaborHistory</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nucleartest" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nucleartest</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclearbomb" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclearbomb</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/coldwar" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>coldwar</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/nuclear" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>nuclear</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radioactive" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radioactive</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/publichealth" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>publichealth</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/radiation" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>radiation</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/indigenous" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>indigenous</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/marshallislands" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>marshallislands</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/atomic" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>atomic</span></a></p>
