I believe the "green goo" color of cartoon radioactivity comes from the green glow of radium paint, which combined radium-226 with copper-doped zinc sulfide to create a green phosphor effect. This paint was used in such things as clock dials and industrial equipment from 1908 to the 1960's or early 1970's. Since this was the most direct exposure that most people had with radioactivity, that green glow became associated with radioactivity in general.

A bit of context for the poor bird/duck/ cute animal handling the spent fuel without the shielding.

Okay. I do LOVE the idea of highly radioactive meteor showers lighting up the nightsky.

The German Federal Ministry for Environment said a week ago they won't find a place for a nuclear waste repository until 2046, possibly even as late as 2068. They say they need that more time to evaluate all the geological data they've gathered. (Originally it was planned to determine a site until 2031.) It's really infuriating because IIRC this is already the third time they've started the whole process from zero, and they won't get a different result in this iteration either; Germany's geology isn't going to change over a few decades. It's clear that all this delay is politically motivated, no politician wants to tell the voters in his home district that the repository will be built there and the Green party especially needs the "unsolved nuclear waste problem" topic for campaigning, so they aren't interested at all to get this resolved quickly.

I like the “cartoony” stuff, it makes the video interesting and not boring, instead of going through a long document of how launching wast in space is bad he makes it fun, interesting and short

We all now Kurzgesagt uses the lime glowing goo to express radioactive elements not only to make it noticeable, but to laugh a bit about the things told about radioactive goos and stuff

I love how she basically summarized one of their points before they even got to it.🤣🤣🤣

@MrBrew4321 Рік тому

Lol I like your immediate reaction what about rockets exploding and waste just raining back down. And when he finally points that out you just do a hand gesture at the camera like told ya. That one point is a nail in the coffin that makes the whole idea a non start.

Kurzgesagt is a great channel in my opinion. I don't think you have to worry about the obviously comical graphics misleading anyone. Anyone smart or thoughtful enough to be interested enough in the concepts and content presented in the video should be smart and thoughtful enough to realise that radioactive waste is not really green glowy goo.

Just found your channel BTW. Enjoying your content - very informative and great presentations!

i'm really enjoying your videos, topics and opinions! thank you for the content

I think there are a few infographic issues you didn't cover.

This video was so great! Keep going! 🤩

I'm a fan of reprocessing and reusing as much spent fuel as possible. I've also seen some interesting reports on technology being developed to encase certain nuclear waste in diamond and other hard materials to turn them into radioactive batteries.

@RMSTitanicWSL Рік тому

I've often thought this was one of the more poorly thought-out ideas. There's just too much to go wrong.... And what was ignored was the possibility that people might deliberately sabotage things for political or military reasons. Terrorists or enemy agents could be a huge problem for this method of disposal.
