It’s one of the most iconic technological marvels of the Cold War-era Soviet Union to still grace the skyline: a vast, imposing metal net stretching into the Ukrainian sky. The Duga-3 early warning system fell silent in 1989, and its prior top secret status – coupled with its location amid what became the notorious Chernobyl Exclusion Zone – have made it a mysterious landmark, a giant piece of abandoned radar technology that has fueled its fair share of legends over the years.

http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/abandoned-duga-3-5.jpg

During its operational years, the foreboding sight of Duga-3 spawned a whole host of far-out theories about what it could possibly be. Known as the Russian Woodpecker for the maddening, never-ending series of clicks that it gave off, some people claimed the vast structure represented an epic experiment in mind control technology

http://www.urbanghostsmedia.com/wp-content/uploads/2016/03/abandoned-duga-3-3.jpg

Others, meanwhile, believed that the Soviet Union was using it in an effort to control the weather. But the official – and althogether more mundane – theory was the correct one. Duga-3 was an over-the-horizon radar system, a role that was only confirmed after the Soviet Union fell, after the tense decades of Cold War cat and mouse played out between the superpowers were finally over

Today, the radioactive Exclusion Zone around Chernobyl has, rather worryingly, become a popular destination for tourists and urban explorers eager to document the dystopian wasteland left behind, including the abandoned city of Pripyat and the graveyard of heavily contaminated rescue vehicles parked out in the barren landscape.

The mysterious area known as Chernobyl 2 – which includes Duga-3 – remained off-limits for longer than other parts of the Exclusion Zone because of its former military use. But didn’t stop the most audacious explorers from getting close enough to obtain haunting photographs and videos of the massive steel structure.

Once a major and seemingly impenetrable defence system of the Soviet empire, able to detect incoming ballistic missiles by bouncing a signal off the planet’s ionosphere, Duga-3 now lies silent, abandoned and all but forgotten by the authorities. The epic mesh of steel is there for anyone willing to trek miles through the notorious Exclusion Zone around the ruptured nuclear reactor to climb it – there’s even a handy staircase

Well Chernobyl could be cleaned up and put back into use , Brown Gas for starts soil air land . It would be expensive say 100 million at a guess but it could be done a much harder would be the Chernobyl nuclear plant but the radiation could easily enough be reduced by 90% and maybe a small exclusion zone around it . To dismantle it would cost a fortune but if you had the money possible .

woodpecker is a scalar wave weapon ( radar above )
scalar weapon is what caused the Chernobyl nuclear explosion it also can shield nuclear explosion like a dome from the tv series
It is the science of the future with it mind control also you can disable every nuclear weapon at the touch of a button you can also kill every living person on earth . Russia are better than America at it the was a second nuclear disaster in Russia also caused by scaler weapons


Nuclear Disaster In The Urals
Medvedev A Zhores

The story of the explosion and contamination was and still is suppressed in the Soviet Union and, the author contends, by the CIA and other Western intelligence organizations fearful of public resistance to nuclear power plants. Now, after an intensive study of Soviet scientific articles (written to disguise the fact that they were about the Ural explosion) and after many interviews and reports from friends in the scientific community as well as from witnesses, the author has pieced together the story of what actually happened. He analyzes the extent and consequences of the contamination and draws forbidding conclusions about the possibility of similar disasters in the rest of the world.
Regretfully, it seems that almost everything of value is somehow restricted, or classified, in Soviet Russia when a disaster occurs. Many times, the effects of a disaster filter out by accident as most of the witnesses are either relocated, or repressed, in order to hide the events and consequences. This was the case when the Chernobyl explosion and fire occurred. In that case, it was a Swedish nuclear reactor worker, who set off the alarms on entering a Swedish Nuclear Power plant for work. He was contaminated with fallout from the Chernobyl fire while at home! Much of southern Sweden, Finland, and Norway had received fallout from the Chernobyl fire. OOPS!

In the case of the disaster in the Urals, it took a serious amount of detective work from a Russian Scientist (the author of this book) to piece together the tale of the disaster from Russian Academic sources. And, while the *exact* process of the accident and its total effects probably will never be released, this book performs a yeoman task at bringing the accident and its effects to light. And, most amazingly, it was pieced together using publicly available (non-secret) information.

An amazing thing about this accident & the one at Chernobyl is that both forced the Russian Authorities to create zones of exclusion where people were not allowed to live. (Well, mostly, as some have returned, but not many.) This has created a series of large wildlife refuges in the 100s of square kilometers in size. So at least some good has come from both of these disasters. Not much, but some

Here are 70 methods to reduce the radioactivity of Nuclear Waste :

# 1 ) "Brown's Gas" --
Proven to reduce nuclear radiation up to 96% within minutes :

"... Directing the flame at Cobalt-60 radiation was reduced by 70% in the sample... Directing the flame at Americium the radiation was reduced 96%..."

"On August 24, 1991, China's Baotou Nuclear Institute released a Report # 202 , "The Results of Experiments to Dispose of Radiation Materials by Brown's Gas", which establishes that experimentation on Cobalt 60 radiation source decreased radiation by about 50% or half-life of radiation -- but sometimes more radiation is decreased which needs investigation of possibilities for decreasing more of the radiation in single treatments of exposure to Brown's Gas flame, lasting only a few minutes, in the samples as described in the table below.

First Experiment Second Experiment
Source Intensity 580 millirads/hour 115 - 120 millirads/hour
After Treatment 220 - 240 millirads/hour 42 millirads/hour

"In another test conducted by Yull Brown before a public audience including U.S. Congressman Hon. Berkeley Bedell with a committee responsible in this area of concern, the experiment ran as follows as reported by the press:

"Using a slice of radioactive Americium ... Brown melted it together on a brick with small chunks of steel and Aluminum ... After a couple of minutes under the flame, the molten metals sent up an instant flash in what Brown says is the reaction that destroys the radioactivity. Before the heating and mixing with the other metals, the Americium, made by the decay of an isotope of Plutonium, registered 16,000 curies per minute of radiation. Measured afterward by the [Geiger Counter], the mass of metals read less than 100 curies per minute, about the same as the background radiation in the laboratory where Brown was working.

"This experiment indicated a reduction of radiation in the order of over 99% (to about 0.00625 of original level) -- in less than 5 minutes, with minimal handling. The improvement in the de-radioactivation process from about 50% to nearly 100% has come only with persistent research over the decades by Brown and his colleagues..."

"The Hon. Berkeley Bedell has reported, "it has been my good pleasure to witness experiments done by Prof. Yull Brown in which it appeared to me that he significantly reduced the radioactivity in several nuclear materials. Under the circumstances, I believe it is very important for our federal government to completely investigate Dr. Yull Brown's accomplishments in this area."

"On August 6, 1992, almost a year after the Chinese nuclear report, Prof. Yull Brown made a special demonstration to a team of 5 San Francisco field office observers from the United States Department of Energy, at the request of the Hon. Berkeley Bedell. Cobalt 60 was treated and resulted in a drop of Geiger readings from 1,000 counts to 40 -- resulting in radioactive waste residue of about 0.04 of the original level. Apprehensive that somehow the radioactivity might have been dispersed into the ambient environment, the official requested the California Department of Health Services to inspect the premises. The health services crew found no radioactivity in the air resulting from this demonstration nor from another repeat demonstration held for their benefit.

"This sequence of experiments was monitored by the Hon. Daniel Haley, the legislator who established the forerunner New York State Energy Research and Development Agency.

"Other demonstrations, measured with under more sophisticated protocol and instrumentation have been made before Japanese nuclear experts, including four scientists from Toshiba and Mitsui (Cobalt 60 of 24,000 mR/hr with one treatment to 12,000 mR/hr). The Japanese scientists were so excited by what they saw that they immediately purchased a generator and air shipped it to Japan. They sent Prof. Brown a confidential report of some of their results. Subsequently, they tried to obtain addition Brown's Gas generators directly from the People's Republic of China..."


"At this time, Brown's Gas generators are mass produced in the Bautou, a major research city in the People's Republic of China by the huge NORINCO factory which also manufacturers locomotives and ordinances -- and services the nation's nuclear industry complex. Most of these generators (producing up to 4,000 litres/hour/2.4 water at 0.45 MPa with power requirements ranging from 0.66 kW up to 13.2 kW) are marketed for their superior welding and brazing qualities, costing between $ 2,000 and $ 17,000. Some units have been used for the decontamination of radioactive materials since 1991. In general, Brown's Gas generators produce between 300 and 340 litres of Brown's Gas per 1 kW energy DC current approximately and one litre of water produces 1.866.6 approximately litres of gas.

A generator which produces 10,000 litres per hour has been built specifically for the reduction of nuclear waste..."

Apparatus and method for decontaminating radioactive materials by stimulating the atomic system of radioactive materials. The stimulus is kept applied to the radioactive materials for a predetermined time. In this way, the rate of decay of the radioactivity of the materials is greatly accelerated and the materials are thereby decontaminated at a rate much faster than normal. The stimulus can be applied to the radioactive materials placing them within the sphere or terminal of a Van de Graaff generator and allowing them to be subjected to the electrical potential of the generator, such as in the range of 50 kilovolts to 500 kilovolts, for at least a period of 30 minutes or more.

Method for Transmutation of Long-Living Radioactive Isotopes into Short-Living or Stable Ones


Pin it!Share on Facebook


Transmutation of long-living radioactive isotopes into short-living or stable ones is conducted under the action of electromagnetic radiation. In the process, highly ionized atoms with energy- resolved hole of accelerated beta-decay are produced from atoms of long-living radioactive isotope and held in ionized state until transmutation of mother nuclei to daughter short-living or stable ones takes place. With coefficient of operating time k preset for daughter nuclei, atoms of long-living radioactive isotope are held in highly ionized state for at least time beta, where beta is lifetime of mother nuclei under accelerated beta-decay conditions. Electromagnetic radiation may be effected by beams of accelerated charged particles (electrons, protons, or ions) or by photon flux. Radiation by charged-particle beam may be combined with photon flux radiation. EFFECT: enhanced transmutation efficiency dispensing with nuclear reactions of collision character and avoiding formation of by-products.

Remediation of Radioactive Waste by Stimulated Radioactive Decay


Pin it!Share on Facebook


Disclosed is a radioactive waste treatment process for transmuting long-lived radioisotopes into short-lived radioisotopes through applied nuclear physics. Nuclear reactions, specifically of the (gamma, n) type, also known as photo-disintegration, are utilized to accomplish this transmutation from troublesome, long-lived radioactive waste isotope(s) of given atomic mass to shorter-lived or stable materials of lower atomic mass, by exposing the troublesome isotopes to a high energy photon flux for a sustained time. Generally speaking, the target nucleus of the radioisotope(s) to be treated is irradiated by gamma photons of an energy greater than the binding energy of the neutron in the target nucleus. This causes the irradiated nucleus to absorb the gamma rays, thereby placing the nucleus in an excited state. Upon relaxation, the nucleus ejects a neutron through the (gamma, n) reaction, thereby transmuting the element to an isotope of lower atomic mass and shorter half-life.

Aspects of the present invention include a non-metal, a hydrogen absorbing metal, a selected isotope to be exposed to ions of hydrogen or ions of isotopes of hydrogen, and a hydrogen source. The hydrogen source can be an electrolytic solution, a gas or plasma. In some embodiments the hydrogen absorbing metal covers the non-metal to form a microsphere. The hydrogen absorbing metal is positioned to contact the hydrogen source. Further, the hydrogen absorbing metal can be made of multiple layers of dissimilar metals with different Fermi energy levels. The multiple layers of metals have interfaces where swimming electron layers exist. Interfaces between the non-metal, hydrogen absorbing metal, and the hydrogen source also exist with swimming electron layers. The selected isotope is placed in these regions of swimming electron layers to be exposed to the ions of hydrogen and its isotopes from the hydrogen source.

Electrode for Cold Nuclear Fusion & Method for Manufacturing Radioactive & Nonradioactive Element & Pervious Metal by Nuclear Transformation in Electrode

Reiko Notoya

To obtain an electrode for cold nuclear fusion which can manufacture isotopes, precious metals, rare elements or thermal energy through nuclear transformation by containing as a material for the electrode a substance which can cause nuclear transformation. Solution: Radioactive or nonradioactive isotopes are manufactured by the nuclear transformation in an electrode and the combination of nuclear reactions such as neutron capture and natural nuclear disintegration of products made through the nuclear reactions. The kinds of manufactured isotopes are very numerous, and it is especially easy to obtain non-single isotopes. Since the conditions of electrolysis can be controlled very precisely, it is possible to manufacture only target substances precisely. For an electrode for cold nuclear fusion, an element whose atomic number is close to that of a precious metal or a rare element is chosen as a substance which can cause nuclear transformation, or a material for the nuclear transformation of a precious metal and a rare element. For example, W, Ag, Sn and Pt are cited as materials for platinum-family metals and gold. As materials for rare elements, chemical species such as the halogen family, alkaline metals, Po and W are chosen.

A method for transmuting spent fuel from a nuclear reactor includes the step of separating the waste into components including a driver fuel component and a transmutation fuel component. The driver fuel, which includes fissile materials such as Plutonium.sup.239, is used to initiate a critical, fission reaction in a reactor. The transmutation fuel, which includes non-fissile transuranic isotopes, is transmuted by thermal neutrons generated during fission of the driver fuel. The system is designed to promote fission of the driver fuel and reduce neutron capture by the driver fuel. Reacted driver fuel is separated into transuranics and fission products using a dry cleanup process and the resulting transuranics are mixed with transmutation fuel and re-introduced into the reactor. Transmutation fuel from the reactor is introduced into a second reactor for further transmutation by neutrons generated using a proton beam and spallation target.
