Pakistan recently closed its airspace to Indian flights due to recent Pakistani-Indian tensions. the detours around Pakistan are causing massive delays and some fuel stops
USS Harry S. Truman (CVN 75) lost an F/A-18E Super Hornet assigned to Strike Fighter Squadron (VFA) 136 and a tow tractor as the aircraft carrier operated in the Red Sea, April 28. All personnel are accounted for, with one Sailor sustaining a minor injury.
the student in question has severe epilepsy that makes it difficult for her to attend school before noon due to the most common time of day of her seizures
By analyzing soil samples and measuring external gamma radiation, the researchers confirmed that the effective radiation dose to agricultural workers is well below Ukraine's national safety threshold, and significantly lower than background radiation levels experienced naturally all over the world.
The findings show that, with proper monitoring and adherence to Ukrainian food safety regulations, many crops can be safely grown in these previously restricted zones.
There are people who are "self settlers" there already anyway - typically very old people who came back decades ago and now have adult children who live with them as caretakers
Honestly that's really exciting. I know radiation is scary and all that, but like. From what I understand the assumption has been that radiation ground poisoning lasts a LONG time. Like. Generations kind of thing. It's why they've put up signs that read like th apocalypse has happened.
the radiation poisoning that lasts a long time is very specific isotopes due to their half-lives. due to how the initial contamination occurred, those isotopes scattered unevenly and so contamination levels in an area can vary widely, especially based on how much of the contamination was previously removed (such as taking off topsoil layers)
i mostly just worry that putting farms there implies spreading those soil contents far and wide, and I don't have massive confidence in the non-toxicity of the plethora of oddball isotopes left over there, even if their radioactivity is pretty low
