Am I going crazy/Strange Concerns... (Prepping)

What will happen on prescription drugs if it hits the fan?

pharmacies will be raided first with food places, most likely...

After that, you're SOL...

Helpful hint... You can stock up on antibiotics without a prescription from your local pet stores... It is marketed as being for animals, but humans are animals... Just make sure you get the pure stuff with no additives specifically for animals...

I'm working from half remembered info I picked up right after the Japanese tsunami so I admit I could be wrong here...

Our reactors are built so that the un-powered state is that the fuel rods are fully retracted into their coolant and their absorption packages. In the case of total power failure they return to their safest and most stable condition expressly to prevent incidents like Fukashima. Its my understanding that barring physical damage to the control mechanisms or deliberate sabotage the reactors here are much more disaster resistant..

but wouldn't you need some sort of water exchanger to keep them cooling? hard to do without power...

I don't know... just genuinely curious...

I would assume, and I don't know either, that the on-site diesel generators provide power for long enough to keep the water circulating to exchange heat while the system cools down after an automatic shutdown. Once the control rods are in place, the heat just needs to dissipate and then it wouldn't matter if the water circulated anymore, right?

Maybe that's why they online require one weeks worth of diesel on site... once the automatic shutdown takes place and it cools, you wouldn't need power. Total speculation on my part however.

The fuel rods are housed in a container that's made of material that absorbs the radioactivity and nullifies its heating effect. Its only when they are extracted out of that housing do they heat the water to the point of making steam to drive a turbine. When they are retracted they are not inert but they don't react with one another to generate heat either. They are effectively insulated and since the system is a closed loop the fluid they are immersed in cant ever be lost so they would remain enclosed in their insulators and submerged.

A generator or other power source would be needed to restart the facility.

If no one maintains nuclear facities an they go boom within 3 weeks... and all food and water becomes radioactive... what u gonna do then? Enjoy thyroid cancer?

you watch too many movies....there's more human interaction required to leave them running than you need to shut it down

I grew up on the farm when I was a kid. We lived of land... honey bee's are a must but u gotta know how to take care of em or they wont make it past winter.

good luck keeping honey bees alive without modern chemicals - all the diseases and parasites these days that honey bees get make it very unlikely.

    • You’re playing madden we’re talking real football stuff…. He does have you seen his special on internet he def thinks he’s getting paid 
    • Without the team having an identity kinda hard to predict what they value.  They either are really trying to build a balanced team, or preparing for another swing at qb if Bryce doesn’t pan out. Seems like we value the o line but the $ spent there has been underwhelming besides Lewis, you could say it’s because of injuries but still hasn’t been worth the investment. as already stated, the whole handling of Bryce young as a whole has been ass backwards, we spent the years we’re supposed to take advantage of having a qb with a lower cap hit, building the team up to be adequate. now It appears, key word appears, the saints have done it correctly, which is painful to even think about. Regardless, I hope the front office has paid attention to qb contracts recently, such as Tua, Kyler, Daniel jones(pre colts) and don’t settle for subpar qb play at franchise qb rates    
    • This is the flaw in your logic.  Cutting 3 of our best players will somehow move us from whatever we are to "compete". Even the most Young super fans are not predicting a ceiling above top 10-12, and that will not nearly cut it.  Someone will need to break the log jam of QBs getting nothing or North of 50. Our qb is at best a middle ground, lets hope it will be us that also manage to pay the worth at about 100 over 3 years.  And before you jump me, yes that is only of he improves.
