Safety question about the beryllium oxide thermal compound

[Overspeed]

Hello

You speak about '' nuclear plants '' damaged .... without any warning from the Governments ... ? now you speak about a watch and even if your ''story'' is real , a particular case is not a generality.

Regarding unsafe radioactive contaminated scrap metals , in Europe and in most countries that fully controlled by the Customs and also by scrap metal companies involved in trading / recycling / melting .....

Scrap metal industries are not at all a jungle but industries with laws , controls ....

The subject is Beryllium , a impressive metal with very interesting properties , and not a worth problem than Mercury

Regards

Yes, I shure that when a real fallout happens, there is a very high probability that governments will not speak about it. The same as it happens during Chernobyl disaster in USSR. On the contrary, total global censorship will be activated, and even if you know about it, you won't be able to share it, your messages will be automatically removed with AI-driven censorship bot. Such censorship will be activated on any media, on any social network. If it don't helps to stop spreading information, internet and all communications will be shut down under some fabricated pretext, such as a cable malfunction or something like this...

Regarding unsafe radioactive contaminated scrap metals , in Europe and in most countries that fully controlled by the Customs and also by scrap metal companies involved in trading / recycling / melting .....

Yes, exactly many customs control have such detectors. But it works for fair peoples, but not for mafia and corrupted officials. It don't works for illegal export/import. And these detectors are difficult to use when transporting large volumes of materials or products, so not all products are checked, and some percentage still can get through the borders even through legal customs.

Scrap metal industries are not a jungle .

This is very corrupted business. Therefore, when it comes to a huge amounts of money and large volumes, official rules don’t apply.

If you don't believe it, you can investigate for yourself - find out where the huge quantities of equipment and scrap metal buried in radioactive dumps in the Chernobyl zone disappear to. It can be checked even with google earth. Mostly it was stolen and sold through different markets and scrap metal industries in 1990-2020 years.

And Chernobyl zone is not the only zone where nuclear disaster happened. There are a lot of such places all around the world. There have been other disasters of that magnitude and even more severe ones that you might not even be aware of. You’ve probably heard about Fukushima, but those two incidents are far from being the only ones.

Really strong sources of radioactivity that made their way out of controlled areas don't create a sudden spike of headache.

There have been a few cases where such sources have been lost, and they initiated big missions of the authorities - even in Russia or Brazil. And people who were exposed to such accidents have always slowly gotten ill.

That there are "hidden" nuclear accidents in the world is absolute propaganda bullshit. There are lots of independent radiation monitoring networks in the world, they all would detect a large power plant blowing up and no one can hide it. Not even the USSR could do that 1986, and it´s well known they´ve tried to...

Beryllium really is a fascinating material. Yes it´s toxic enough to ban it in general and uncontrolled usage. But it´s nothing to panic about as long you don't start a new job in an underground beryllium processing plant

It depends on the radioactivity level. At some level it leads to such effects. At some radiation level it leads to immediate feeling - a metallic taste in the mouth, nausea. But usually such exposure level leads to serious damage and death within 1-2 month or even week.

And such effects may not necessarily occur from direct contact with the radiation source. It’s quite possible that a nearby incident could have caused a powerful burst of neutron radiation. Such accidents usually happen at facilities dealing with radioactive materials. However, you might not even be aware that such a facility is located near you. Such facilities are usually secret, so you cannot be sure that your location is safe. 

A relatively safe distance to avoid a lethal dose is about several kilometers. Are you sure that there is no secret facility in that range from you?

Such accidents have frequently occurred in the past at facilities dealing with highly radioactive materials. You can find official reports about it. And usually, this happened with highly qualified and trained personnel. Someone from the staff might have accidentally forgotten and placed a piece of plutonium in the wrong container, or some detail was overlooked in the process of handling radioactive materials, leading to an accident. Therefore, saying that such things are impossible is not realistic - anything can happen.

Even if you are certain that you are safe, there have been real cases where scrap metal hunters dismantled biological shielding from RITEG containers. In one case, an unshielded piece of highly radioactive isotope was thrown into a trash bin at a bus stop. According to reports, the radiation level at the stop was around 200 Roentgens per hour... and ordinary, unsuspecting people were on that bus stop.

That there are "hidden" nuclear accidents in the world is absolute propaganda bullshit. There are lots of independent radiation monitoring networks in the world, they all would detect a large power plant blowing up and no one can hide it. Not even the USSR could do that 1986, and it´s well known they´ve tried to...

The assertion that "hidden" nuclear accidents are absolute propaganda bullshit overlooks several critical factors. Even though there are many independent radiation monitoring networks worldwide that can detect significant events, detection alone does not guarantee that the information will be publicly disclosed. In practice, information about nuclear incidents can be kept secret due to various reasons.

Governments, especially during times of crisis or war, may choose to withhold information to avoid public panic or to protect national security. Historical examples, such as the Soviet Union's response to the Chernobyl disaster, demonstrate that even significant nuclear accidents can be kept from the public eye for a time. The Soviet Union attempted to suppress information about Chernobyl, despite the presence of radiation monitoring networks.

International monitoring organizations may also be subject to censorship, particularly in extreme situations like the onset of a nuclear war. In such scenarios, no information about the radiation situation might be published at all, just because it could reveal the effects of a nuclear strike to adversaries.

Accurate public disclosure could provide strategic insights to opponents, potentially affecting military planning and response. No rational entity would publicize the real outcomes of a nuclear attack, as this could prompt further nuclear strikes if the initial attack was deemed insufficiently effective, or inform the enemy about the effectiveness, influencing future military strategies.

Given that we are in a situation where a global nuclear war could start at any moment due to corruption, greed, and the ambitions of certain politicians, it would be very naive to expect that anyone will provide detailed information about the radiation situation if something serious were to occur.

Another example is the case of a young man who found an X-ray tube somewhere, connected it to a high-voltage power source at home, and conducted experiments with X-rays, inadvertently exposing his neighbors. The case gained attention when the young man posted a photo of himself with radiation burns on his hands on social media, described his experiments with the X-ray tube, and asked how dangerous it was and how to treat it.

And yet another example is a very known case, probably you should know it - David Charles Hahn, also known as the "Radioactive Boy Scout," attempted to build a nuclear reactor using radioactive materials he collected from various household items, including smoke detectors. Hahn, a teenager at the time, managed to obtain small quantities of radioactive substances and tried to assemble a makeshift reactor in his backyard shed. His project attracted significant media attention and concern due to the potential hazards posed by his experiments.

Does global radiation monitoring helped to prevent David Hahn to collect radioactive materials?

And after all, many sellers on aliexpress selling stickers with radioactive waste. And customs don't stop it. Just search for "scalar energy stickers"...
