|    Strontium-90 Fallout    |

      From: andronicus451@gmail.com              My calculations show: if the half-life of Strontium-90 fallout residue is 28.9       years, then it would take:              * 96.0 years for the fallout to drop to 10% of the initial blast, and       * 192.0 years for the fallout to drop to 1% of the initial blast.              Please verify.              The formula is:              t = - 28.9y × (log 0.01 / log 2)              or              t = - half-life × (log (percentage / 100) / log 2)              in the LORD       Amen              Second question:              I am unable to calculate how much exactly nuclear fallout would be generated       by Mr. Putin's 5977 nukes,       in the theoretical case the "weak" West doesn't respond and launch its own?              I am unable to calculate that, for I don't know how much Strontium-90 is       generated from 1 kg of plutonium       in a fission explosion?              Of course, I am aware that there are other possibly more radioactive and more       chemically toxic byproducts       of a nuclear explosion.              Would the mushroom clouds keep the radiation over the West alone, or do the       winds blow like cyclones and       anticyclones from West to East and bring weather and fallout with them?              I am, of course, speaking of the theoretical case that Russian launches its       missiles and the USA don't.              (Was that called Abraham's sacrifice in one of the movies discussing nuclear       Armageddon?)              in the LORD       Amen              --- SoupGate-Win32 v1.05        * Origin: you cannot sedate... all the things you hate (1:229/2)    |
