What are the environmental / health risks of this radioactive dust getting kicked up?
- nuccy 5y agoUnless there is a strong wind it likely will settle back, especially since it is a thick forest around the station.
- ornornor 5y agoI don’t know about where you live but here in Europe there have been storms warnings with pretty strong winds in the last week. Not a meteorologist and I have no idea how that would impact radioactive dust spread.
- awb 5y agoAre the prevailing winds are typically West to East?
- ornornor 5y agoAccording to https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/historyclimate/weatherarchive https://www.meteoblue.com/en/weather/historyclimate/weathera... they're blowing from the West to the East so it's blowing from Europe towards Pripyat, so at least there is that.

- Denvercoder9 5y ago> One thing I understand about Western European culture is that they will never tell you no outright as it is rude to do so. Any sort of hesitancy is to be construed as a no and unlike America/East Germany or Scandinavian countries tough to get a straight answer most of the time. This is a ridiculous overgeneralization. If you compare e.g. the Dutch with the Southern U.S., you'll find the Dutch are much more eager to directly tell it how it is.
- deutschewelle 5y agowell as long as the contrasts are obvious, generalizing was the intent
- swamp40 5y ago>> if Russia is kicked off SWIFT, it would be removing any sort of restraint they've displayed so far. I don't think they care much about that. They have already assumed they would be. There are several other options for them. It most hurts Europe and their investments/payments, as well as our intelligence tracking of high net worth individuals.
- leephillips 5y ago> There is blame on both sides Say what now? > One thing I understand about Western European culture is that they will never tell you no outright as it is rude to do so. Generally speaking, no, this is not one thing you understand about W. E. culture.
- chefkoch 5y agoYou have never been to western europe? Berlin is famous for this.
- leephillips 5y agoGuess I encountered the wrong German ladies, then.

- tejohnso 5y ago> Japan is the worst outright making you question even a solid yes mixed with non-subtle and impossible to read vocal/posture How can it be both non-subtle and yet impossible to read?
- traviscj 5y agoSeems like GP means it’s noticeable but difficult to interpret?
