There is less ambient radiation right outside of a running reactor than there is anywhere outside.

And some how they have 5 bones for fingers but only 4 with skin

Why does Lisa's skeleton have 5 fingers on her left hand?

Didn't Bart have a smooth head as a result of a bad hair cut at the end of his music video (yes, music video) "Deep Deep Trouble?"

Giving birth to those must have been fun.

Marge has hair.

so has homer

Thank you, Now I dont have to post it.
iamalreadyaghost
What about Homer?
noonehasthisoneyet
I mean they do live right next door to the nucleon plant

The irony is that barring a major accident, you actually get exposed to more radiation from a coal plant than from a nuclear plant.
afelotreyu
we knew that..
GravyTrainOnBiscuitWheels
Hey! I work at a nuclear power plant and take offense to this. Not only did my third kid come out alive, but it's got 3 arms just like us.
rossintheroom
That isn't real bart, the real bart has 9 spikes of hair!

Well, Marge was supposed to have bunny ears, so

Marge is Louise all grown up?

Indeed. It is fun that in the original arcade game, if she gets an electric shock you see those bunny ears.

Apparently she also has Lisa's and Bart's heads as boneboobs o_o

Originally, she had ears. My Life In Hell. Matt Groening's comic strip. Pre-Tracy Ullman Show.

Why does Lisa have four fingers and a thumb?

They made a mistake colouring - it's supposed to be green (blade of grass)

They all do?

Actually they don't,they all have four fingers and the only one with five fingers is god.
keyonne
Huh. I thought they all had four and a thumb
melshot
snidedj
They all usually have 3 fingers and a thumb apart from God when he appears - he has the correct digits.
keyonne
Didn’t know that. Knew about God (Jesus too I think) but I thought they had four fingers and a thumb.

Nuclear power is the safest form of power generation. Its downfall is its reputation. http://images.rcp.realclearpolitics.com/89162_5_.gif
sonic745
I don't know. Places like Fukushima and Chernobyl will leave many people sick with various forms of cancers for decades to come...

I'm a design engineer at a Nuclear Power Plant, if you guys want any objective questions answered.

Nah, it's just Mr. Burns who dumps the waste unsafely.

Shhhh, we can’t bring science into this. It ruins the fan theory.

Rifneno
Fan theory is fine. He's saying nuclear power is safe. And it is. He isn't saying Springfield's Chernobyl plant with Homer is safe.
Honorius
Good point
Irradiatedchipmunk
I still don't understand how it is "safe." We have to store the waste in indestructable drums underground for 100+ years. Out of site >
Irradiatedchipmunk
Out of mind i guess.
IamTheSherm
Burying it under a mountain seemed like a good idea, but the Senate Majority Leader for a long time was from the state with the Mountain.
MollyNapQueen
It's obvious that you haven't seen Monty Burns power plant.
GravyTrainOnBiscuitWheels
Yeah it's really unfortunate considering how clean and reliable the energy is
nickwinters
How have wind and solar killed people?
ImgursLibertarian
every industry has risks. Pressure vessels, heights, suspended loads, high energy piping, high voltage, all of these things kill people.
stopitcharlesgetoutofmyhead
Installation/ maintenance can come with high risk. Theres a very famous image of workers standing on a wind turbine just before dying. 1/2
stopitcharlesgetoutofmyhead
eruditic
Wait, clean coal has been lying all along?
jcosmic
My ? is: is it safer or is that number smaller because it's less used vs the others? If there were as many plants as coal, what would it be
iamonewiththecheese
All aircraft carriers and submarines in the Navy are powered by nuclear reactors. There has never been a nuclear accident. They are safe.
stopitcharlesgetoutofmyhead
Its per KWH, so its deaths aggregated down to the average amount per unit produced.
jcosmic
So number of plants in use doesn't effect that average? Just general curiosity - not trying to be a dick. Averages and math throws me
stopitcharlesgetoutofmyhead
More reactors would sway the average slightly one way or the other but not by much. 1/2
stopitcharlesgetoutofmyhead
Averages scale up/down as data is added, depends how much data. If we double our nuclear usage the value could half/ it could double. 2/3
ImgursLibertarian
It is safer in terms of industrial accidents. We have had engineers go to prison for not doing equipment inspections the right way.
aguacatedeldiablo
It's normalized against the amount of energy produced - so it's safer regardless of how much it's used. Now, if it were used more, there 1/?
aguacatedeldiablo
3 but planes crash a *lot* less often than cars, which is why it's still safer
aguacatedeldiablo
2 would be more accidents, but the ratio would probably more or less be consistent. When a plane crashes, it's horrible and everyone dies,
HEXADECIMAL
The Oil industries biggest terror is nuclear power and everyone switching to electric. It's almost free.
ImgursLibertarian
Actually we (nuclear power) lost the lowest cost provider status when natural gas prices bottomed out. We employ ALOT of engineers (5x as...
rando84
Natural gas has had a pretty volatile price history, and will probably increase in the future with all the new plants and export plans.
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
A design engineer for a nuclear power plant should not use ALOT. *A LOT.
ImgursLibertarian
2 Things about that: 1) I are an enjinear. I math Gud. 2) I had a spelling book in Mrs. Bandon's 3rd grade class that had "alot" as a word.
ImgursLibertarian
And Its not a word that I've ever seen again, I've tried to find that book for years.
HEXADECIMAL
Natural Gas is not bad, but in many states they still use trash or even OIL! Then pass the costs onto us by doubling our power bill.
ImgursLibertarian
I'd recommend reducing regulations to allow for the construction of new nuclear, but that's just me.
ImgursLibertarian
many as fossil plants) and most of our money walks out on two feet. our fuel costs are almost nothing.
FernachoLibre
Yeah there’s only been 3 major Accidents. But nuclear accidents end up leaving entire areas evacuated for decades.
Keairan
2 accidents worth talking about. 3 Mile Island is the accident equivalent of a burp.
Daedalus21
3 mile island was completely contained within the facility. That was on American soil, and not hit by a tsunami or bad management.
Doctadeth
Technically fukashima was 2 natural disasters that were immensely powerful...but that's just me
tiikki
Which gives the area to nature and wildlife is doing great there. While the area taken up by wind and solar to produce same amount of energy
tiikki
is orders of magnitude larger. The hydro also demands quite lot of space which is made totally unusable and when it goes wrong the death
tiikki
toll is huge. Burning in the other hand is making the whole planet unsuitable for human civilization...
CocaineAndSelfPleasure
Yea, there's not a whole lot of good solutions. Lithium mining is devastating but really necessary for solar and wind to store energy.
nangafifi
fukushima and chernobyl were both from not using the safety measures that were put in place.
sonic745
Fukushima got rocked by an earthquake.
nangafifi
they also had safety measures in place, but they were not allowed to use them because the mayor of the town said no.
vauhtihirmu
Statistically, the technology is going to be used wrong at some point so it's not unreasonable to mention fukushima and chernobyl.
nangafifi
It wasn't that it was used wrong. Chernobyl shut all off, fukushima weren't allowed to turn them on by order of the mayor
DakianDelomast
Fukushima is safe to live in again, fear keeps people out. Chernobyl was a "one off".
CISMaleScumLord
so far and that's typing as someone who lives near nuclear power stations
SlightlyRelatedToThePost
Chernobyl is an example of *both* shitty, decrepit Soviet-era tech, AND a worst case scenario of cascading effects. An outlier of outliers.
flashmozzg
Tech was fine.It was mostly the shitty management.Every1 was afraid to admit the problem so they tried to "silence" it until it was too late
DamianWinters
There's not really any context for that graph, is there not a proper study to go with it? Also nuclear power while better than fossil 1/2
DamianWinters
fuels is not a proper long term power source. We only have a limited amount of Uranium on our planet so in the end if we want to 2/3
DamianWinters
survive long as a species we need to become a renewable species as a whole not just burn every resource one by one until there's nothing.
DamianWinters
4/4 Also Nuclear power has terrible waste products that can't be disposed of very well, which would only get worse with more use.
rando84
The sheer volume of waste & danger of that waste are minuscule compared to virtually any other industry's toxic waste--it's a problem, but 1
