if we can get enough people to do this it may become viral and could possibly get on the news
whenever severe radiation is brought up people instantly start talking about the elephant's foot, but its not like you can actually go and visit it even if you tried (soldiers, security, locks, etc)
Not suicidal, just kind of curious to the thought process. Just found it kinda fun playing the fallout games
To provide some examples for people who haven't seen the show (spoilers ahead, be warned):
-
There is a scene in which a character touches someone who has been affected by nuclear radiation with their hand. When they pull their hand away, their palm and fingers have already begun to turn red with radiation sickness.
-
There is a pregnant character who becomes sick after a few scenes in which she hugs and touches her hospitalized husband who is dying of radiation sickness. A nurse discovers her and freaks out and kicks her out of the hospital for her own safety. It is later implied that she would have died from this contact if not for the fetus "absorbing" the radiation and dying immediately after birth.
Is actual radiation contamination that contagious? This article seems to indicate that it's nearly impossible to deliver radiation via skin-to-skin contact, and that as long as a sick person washes their skin and clothes, they're safe to be around, even if they've inhaled or ingested radioactive material that is still in their bodies.
Is Chernobyl's portrayal of person-to-person radiation contamination that sensationalized? For as much as people talk about the show's historical accuracy, it's weird to think that the writers would have dropped the ball when it comes to understanding how radiation exposure works.
It's clear this is done deliberately. How would authorities in the affected countries react. This would obviously be a serious concern. No individual or group claims responsibility. How would the public recieve something like this?
You have the ability to send powerful blasts of nuclear energy capable of melting through steel shooting outwards from you. You can use this power about three times before painfully succumbing to the radiation poisoning and mutations that are its side effects.
After reading about the wasting sickness and after watching the HBO miniseries Chernobyl i felt that the wasting sickness was really similar to radiation poisoning. How the hair falls out and people seem to weather away. Also if I don’t remember wrong didn’t West get better for a little bit before getting much worse? Because that would also be similar.
Because if the wasting is actually caused by radiation that would lead to some interesting ideas about the other side
According to non-profit organisation the Mayo Clinic, symptoms can include:
Nausea and vomiting
Diarrhea
Headache
Fever
Dizziness and disorientation
Weakness and fatigue
Hair loss
Bloody vomit and stools from internal bleeding
Infections
Low blood pressure
Like salt on a snail, they say.

Or is it to do with the speed that alpha particles travel at during fission reactions

I don't recall seeing them anywhere. Anyone familiar with them?
Hey does anyone have a link for this book in PDF
Thanks
