Black 350 Fukushima....

[Willsy1980]

Spotted this on the dailymail site, looks a little too clean to be abandoned

 

 

Could have some serious fun in a ghost town in that

I think it might be abandoned according to this page...

Ouch ! Painful to see so many iconic cars abandoned. Surely they could be decontaminated ?

[OllyB]

They could but it would be an expensive process...

[Willsy1980]

They say they could return to live there as soon as Spring 2017, can't be that bad now then ?

You do know the term Half-Life, right?

And I don't mean the game...

[KyleR]

Surely 5 years without a wash and it wouldn't look in such good nick?

Perhaps the owner used premium products and it hasn't been driven and rainfall may have kept it clean

Half life wouldn't bother me. The sievert value of the affected areas on the other hand, would. The granite around Aberdeen has a half life of 1600 years but the radium (radon when it decays) is encased & can't escape hence doesn't cause a health hazard.

Probably the photographers car.....

I didn't realise Fukushima was still such a hazard. You don't hear anything about it any more.

You don't hear much about Chernobyl but you dont see many people vacationing there!

Actually I do know of at least one person who has visited Pripyat as a tourist on an organised tour. I know this isn't chernobyl however those photos aren't Fukushima either

 

That car does look too clean to have been stood 5 years however we don't know how recent it was taken... unless I missed it

Wouldn't the rain promote the growth of moss and grime on the car, though.

 

I wash my car with pretty decent stuff, Dodo Juice etc and after it sits for a couple of weeks it doesn't look as shiny and new, nevermind 5 years.

 

Maybe the photographer washed it before the photo?

Don't forget the radiation factor...nothing looks at all overgrown for a five year period

You can have a tour round parts of it though. Read the article. Chernobyl was easy to contain in comparison to Fukushima. They'll have to retrieve the spent fuel rods BY HAND!

 

People won't be queuing up at Japanese Job Centre Plus to do that for minimum wage.

 

I can imagine how a recruitment agency would advertise it.

 

"Temporary position with great travel prospects and cultural development. Must be physically fit and prepared to do some heavy lifting. Steel toe cap boots essential. Hasmat suit to be provided by employer. Candidates with no family or dependants considered advantageous"

Chernobyls core melted through the superstructure into the basement levels below. What infamously became known as the elephants foot, containing a myriad of actinides that we have no atomic knowledge of off and frankly, wouldn't ever want to.

The initial core breach and explosion sent the fission products into the atmosphere, some of which was detected in sheep that grazed in the Highlands. That's probably the worst extra-national ecological extent of the Chernobyl disaster.

 

Fukushimas biggest issue is that to prevent a reactor meltdown, they started using "normal" water as opposed to the moderator fluids used normally because the pumps were unable to be powered on site. The issue is that because the inner core was breached, the radiation inside the core effectively irradiated the minerals the normal water is naturally comprised of. That irradiated water has since been dripping into the world's oceans, absorbed by flora & fauna alike. Pretty much the world's worst ecological calamity. But pretty much nobody is talking about it.

Yes, but the japanese have a different honour code altogether, lest we forget the pensioners that volunteered.

Really interesting articles there. Especially about the 'Elephants Foot'.

[Willsy1980]

The more I visit these forums the more I like them, not only wealth of Z related knowledge but good discussions on pretty much anything. Who would have guessed a simple 'spotted' post would descend into a fascinating thread of historical nuclear eco disaster.

 

A visit to Pripyat is on my list of 'things I must do' have been fascinated with the place for years.

True. I guess we'll never know.

I thought the same.

 

And yeah, I've always wanted to visit Pripyat. I'm thinking of heading out there next summer with nothing to tie me down.

Give that Z a good rub with a microfiber cloth, stick it on a low loader, remove from area and bin the low loader another wipe with some microfiber. Another Z saved!

[TT350]

Just how contaminated could that Z be? I wonder how far it is from G zero.
