In the Chernobyl area are not degradable, it will probably soon become a disaster

Fact, threats are environmental scientists concern since 1992, yet it will still much worse due to the dry summer over influenced by climate change.

Recent scientific research about the possibility of a forest fire can kernel will make Ukraine pay attention. The forests around the Chernobyl nuclear power plant-explosion of the past 28 years, not yet fully degradable and if all are flammable, radioactive material will spread out the quarantine area of the Chernobyl nuclear power plant, the zone has an area of 2600 sq. kilomét, located just 110 km north of Kiev.
Quarantine zones are many scientists to research, in which almost no insects, the birds develop extraordinary individuals like deformed beak, long tail feathers in a strange way and smaller brains.The trees also become more dense.




Scientists have been studying about the environment within the area since 1991 and they realize there many points above the trees here, specifically they describe as "the garbage accumulated significantly over time" in a study published in the journal Oecologia. Referred to "significant" news is scientists are indicating no tree decomposition, including fallen leaves on the ground.
This is especially true in the Red Forest, forests around Chernobyl is named as such because the tree turns almost ginger and die due to radioactive contamination at the highest level. In an interview with Smithsonian magazine, Timothy Mousseau-biologist at the University of South Carolina and is the main author of the study-that the plant "very" impressive ", while in the forests where I live, most of the trees as the sawdust after a decade of lying on the ground."
The main reason for not able to decomposition in the area around Chernobyl is caused by bacteria, fungi, bacteria, worms, insects and other creatures capable of decomposition are virtually non-existent. Mousseau and his team have discovered this after doing an experiment to leave 600 bags of leaves around Chernobyl in 2007.
When they collect the bags of leaves in 2008, they discovered that the bags filled with leaves placed in the area do not have radioactive decomposition 70-90%, but leaves in the area have only radioactive decay of about 40%. "We are concerned that there might be a forest fires in years to come," Mousseau shared with the Smithsonian.
Besides removing the substances caught fire, the decomposition is extremely necessary for plants to grow, because this process help put nutrients back into the land, and back to the environment in General. The difficult decomposition can also explain why those living around Chernobyl developed very slowly. They have absorbed radioactive substances such as strontium 90 isotope (causing bone cancer) and cesi 137 (causes nausea and can lead to death) in nearly three decades.
If these trees are burned, the radioactive molecules will disperse into the atmosphere and "people will be very easy to inhaling them" Scientific American magazine (SA) reported on last year according to a study in 2011. But besides that, the more harm is whole food is consumed every day such as milk and meat, will also be contaminated with radioactive substances.
Fact, threats are environmental scientists concern since 1992, yet it will still much worse due to the dry summer over influenced by climate change.
Fire has also been ordered to duty in isolation to prevent forest fires in the inside, but they "clearly is not prepared for the Wildfire situation in greater degree than" SA share, and they also almost no professional training as well as not equipped with protective clothing or respirators. The staff we're still tracking the situation by climbing up the six clock tower one day, with occasional help from helicopters. "Although equipped with Soviet tanks further improvements with the blade length 6 m to felling and milling plant is already dead, but they still leave the tree continued decomposition."

Modern robots planned to drill Saigon underground from 26/5

As planned, on May 26, the robot tunneling will officially operate, construction of the 781 m long underground. According to a statement issued by the contractor directly operating underground metro drilling robot, the staff of this unit consists of 17 foreign experts, 5 engineers and 25 Vietnamese workers will operate TBM tunnel drilling machine. From Ba Son Station to Ho Chi Minh City Theater Station. Install underground tunnel drilling robot. As planned, on May 26, this tunnel robot will be officially operated, construction of the 781 m long underground section.  This is the item of package 1b of the metro line 1 (Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien) contractor contractor Shimizu - Meada (Japan).  Ben Thanh - Suoi Tien will be the first metro line in Vietnam to excavate tunnels underground TBM machine with a tunnel diameter up to 6.79 m.  The modern TBM submersible robot from Japan has a total length of 70 m, weighs 300 tons, is being assembled by the unit to exc...

Meteorites fall velocity 2400 kilometers / h to cities in Argentina, causing huge explosions

People initially thought it was terrorism. A series of earth-shattering explosions have caused people south of the country was Argentina where her worry that the cottages, buildings shaking with tremors. But fortunately because there is nothing so dangerous cases happened: it was caused by a meteorite falling to Earth. On the last 20/7 would be a normal Wednesday afternoon in the city of General Roca 85,000 people , and suddenly the afternoon turned into unusual was that a series of large explosions rocked buildings and many glass doors in the city. Police, firefighters and other rescue team members were quick soon to be determined where the blast but were surprised, they did not find any evidence of a bomb explosion, the consequences of an earthquake or other natural disaster. Ultimately, the scientists have found the reason: a meteor has entered the Earth's atmosphere at an altitude of 10,000 meters, moving at a speed of 2,400 km / h. "This meteorite fell to Ea...

Today is the 25th anniversary of the world are connected to each other thanks to the advent of the Web page

You know today, August 23 is on the 25th anniversary of the birth of the Web? Quiz you know today, August 23 is the day? Around the 1980s, Tim Berners-Lee, a software engineer working at the CERN laboratories in Geneva, Switzerland was rekindled in his idea of a global information system. The original purpose for which he is aiming to create the environment for scientists to share research, his experience with colleagues. Sample models that he first outline named "Enrique". Tim Berners-Lee. Tim Berners-Lee. In 1989, Tim launched the article entitled "Information Management: A Proposal"-suggestions on information management, in which he insisted that his ambition is directed to global networks, all over the world the same connections over public networks. The name that the heart set for kids are her pregnancy is "World Wide Web"-or the WWW today that everyone must type before accessing a site. In the meantime, however, the World Wide Web is still a concept ...
