^-^

i'm in a bizzare mood these days..
don't bug me..
its easy to end up on the sharp end of my tongue
hah..
u dun believe
try me.. or ask dah
he can testify that he got blasted many times in these strange days
sorry dear..
*meek face*

ANYWAY
i was justing watching a program
its about the Marshall Islands tests
which..
if u dunno much about it and are too lazy to read the link there..
is basically the place where
the muclear powers of the world
conducted nuclear testing in the 1940's and 1950's

so of course
that time...
not much known about nuclear
but it was clear its not a very good thing
govt cover ups abound
ppl die
children die
etc etc etc
and the govt doesn't stop its covering up
and they basically..
care more for their own asses than the asses of the dying ppl

and what the scientists ACTUALLY found..
i mean.. the non-govt funded scientists that is..
is that ..
in adelaide..
the nearest large city to the test sites..
the thyroids of animals were .. hot
basically hot here dun mean.. wah over 100 degrees c..
it means.. wah... radioactive mamas

so amongst the animals tested
were cows..
now.. the cows are radioactive..
and they provide milk to humans...

WAH so clever my dear readers..
you are right..
no prize for being right..
i'm broke at the moment

the milk was radioactive!
containing strontium 80
half life of 29 years..
so .. pretty much the south of australia at that time was...
not just drinking radioactive milk
it was in the rains and the produce
many died..

but now.. time for some maths..
strontium 80..
half life of 29 years..
the half life of an element refers to basically..
how long it takes for to decay such that the activity of the element is reduced by half
so strontium 80..
29 years in the bones of a human..
the radioactivity of the strontium 80 becomes halved
another 29 years later.. half of that half..
geddit?

so..
do the maths.. 1940's to 1958...
my question...
how radioactive is the milk still today?
and not just the milk..
the land and the produce..
the waters and the rain..
i for one.. do not want to count..
cos victoria..
where i'm at now.. its real close to adelaide..
