" #Japanese radiochemist Satoshi Utsunomiya found that air samples from March 15, 2011, in #Tokyo contained a very high concentration of insoluble #cesium #microparticles . He immediately realized the implications of the findings for #public #safety , but his #study was kept from #publication for years."

I want to

a. use #Cesium to display #space data
b. write all my code in #python

I decided to hack my way through and it turns out to be pretty easy

#pyqt has a great web rendering engine that runs Cesium no problem. Plus I can execute #javascript on the engine from python AND easily make calls back the other way

So I can embed a JS-powered #web #gui in my python program

It isn't even hard to debug, since the qtweb thing can debug remotely as if it were in a browser

''In Aug 22, State Agency of #Ukraine for Management of Exclusion Zone stated that the consequences of an accident at #Zaporizhzhya NPP could be 10 times more powerful than at #Chernobyl. It is predicted that exclusion zone will be up to 30,000 sqKm. It will be impossible to live or farm there for next 100,000 yrs. 2 mln people will have to be resettled. Ukraine will be covered with radioactive #cesium in an amount dangerous for all living things.'' {#Belta}

What’s being done now about #RadioactiveWater that threatens the #ColumbiaRiver in #WashingtonState?

"A major #radioactive contamination threat to the Columbia River should be removed at the #Hanford #nuclear site before the end of summer.

"Hanford workers have started to pump contaminated water from the final basin of the nuclear reservation’s nine reactors along the Columbia River.

"'This effort will eliminate the risk of a leak of contaminated water to the groundwater about a quarter-mile from the Columbia River,' said Andy Wiborg, the Department of Energy acting deputy assistant manager for river and plateau cleanup."

[...]

"The K West and K East Reactor basins were the last to be used, after storing irradiated fuel from N Reactor that was not processed following the end of the Cold War. Before the fuel was removed in 2004, it #corroded underwater, contributing to a highly #RadioactiveSludge.

"In 2019 the last of the sludge was removed, leaving draining the water the next major task to reduce risk from the basins.

"The nearby K East Reactor basin was emptied first.

"Then in June, the first tanker truck with basin water pulled away from the K West Reactor.
About 60 tanker trucks have been filled with filtered water to remove radioactive contamination from the K West Reactor basin as it is being drained. The work will protect the nearby Columbia River.
About 60 tanker trucks have been filled with filtered water to remove radioactive contamination from the K West Reactor basin as it is being drained. The work will protect the nearby Columbia River.

"About 400,000 gallons have been pumped out of the basin so far, which is the equivalent of six residential swimming pools, said Heather Dale, DOE Hanford assistant manager for the river and plateau. About 60 tanker trucks have been filled with basin water.

[...]

"They also installed a system to pump out and then filter the contaminated water before it it loaded into tanker trucks.

"The filtering system removes particles and also uses an ion exchange system to remove radioactive #cesium and #strontium from the water. The initial resin used in the ion exchange system DID NOT WORK WELL, the Defense Nuclear Facilities Safety Board said in January.

[...]

"Some of the contents of the vertical pipe units in the K West Reactor basin may be required to be sent to the nation’s repository for transuranic radioactive waste in New Mexico for disposal [#WIPP].
