it is sobering and humbling to consider that apparently 4 tonnes of Pu has been released globally in nuclear testing. Fukushima is surely terrible, I dont see any clear discussion of fate and location of the MOX in reactor 3 on the internet.


Im not sure what the significance is of the distribution of isotopes from bomb testing and from the MOX fuel. I expect the shortest half life isotopes decay at the fastest rate and contribute the most to the dose (number per second) of alpha particles, and that any alpha particle from Pu decay have a lot of kinetic energy.


life is a blessing
