[00:19:28] Vipershark: gorsal i have another question for you
[00:19:34] Vipershark: radiation can’t pass through lead, right?
[00:21:20] Vipershark: if the answer is yes, why can’t they just make like
[00:21:22] Vipershark: a lead suit
[00:21:26] Vipershark: or several
[00:21:50] Vipershark: and have people go into the fukushima reactor and get that stuff outta there?
[00:22:11] Vipershark: i know it’s also ridiculously hot but they cant even get that close to it where it's that hot right?
[00:22:18] Vipershark: cause of the radiation
[00:22:31] Vipershark: so the suits would allow them to get close enough to cool it off first right...?
[00:22:57] Gors: that already exists, it's the suit they use in the nuclear power plants afaik
[00:23:36] Gors: but like a kevlar, it doesn't protect you 100%
[00:24:12] Gors: a kevlar suit will eventually wear out and be susceptible to bullets if you shoot at it too much
[00:24:47] Gors: but a uranium cake produces too much power to be 100% blockable
[00:25:02] Gors: even then it's difficult to move that shit around
[00:25:08] Gors: where to dispose it is also a problem
[00:25:38] Gors: unfortunately it also needs to be a thick layer of lead for the protection to be fully effective
[00:25:50] Gors: and that would make the suit impractical for use
[00:26:21] Gors: too heavy, and wouldn't allow for precise movements
[00:26:38] Vipershark: can’t they just build a robot or something?
[00:26:47] Vipershark: i know electronics are susceptible to radiation too but like
[00:27:05] Vipershark: it seems like long wires away from the sensitive chips and stuff and lots of shielding would make that kinda irrelevant
[00:27:14] Gors: that would be the best option
[00:27:19] Vipershark: i know that’s easier said than done of course but it’s been years
[00:27:24] Gors: a destroyed robot is better than lives lost
[00:27:28] Vipershark: it seems like someone would have figured that out
[00:27:55] Gors: the problem with nuclear power, is that it's like a plane flight
[00:28:16] Gors: it is really unlikely to have a plane accident
[00:28:36] Gors: but when it happens, it's often catastrophic
[00:28:54] Gors: a nuclear power plant is equally really safe
[00:29:18] Gors: but once an accident happens, it destroys pretty much all the area surrounding it
[00:29:23] Gors: and it's not a small area either
[00:29:25] Gors: i mean
[00:29:44] Vipershark: yeah, the whole town and such is uninhabitable
[00:29:46] Gors: Fukushima's disaster is reaching the other side of the ocean and arriving in California
[00:30:00] Vipershark: not to mention the greater effects, yeah
[00:30:23] Gors: basically, while humans know how thing works and how to use it
[00:30:33] Gors: they don't know how to fully control it
[00:30:49] Gors: you know when Sega released the game gear?
[00:30:54] Gors: thinking it would be the shit
[00:31:04] Gors: a portable with backlight and color screen
[00:31:32] Gors: that was top tech back then, but it had a disastrous life overall
[00:31:49] Gors: much like game gears, we do have the technology to use nuclear power
[00:32:04] Gors: but maybe we aren't still at our 'prime' as to say it
[00:32:27] Gors: we still don't know how to make the best use of 'color screen' and 'backlight'
[00:32:36] Gors: as an analogy
[00:33:50] Vipershark: that was like the most out of nowhere yet the most fitting possible analogy you could have used
[00:33:51] Vipershark: ahahaha
