do yous know about Seversk? it's a "closed city" in Siberia, and the site of a pretty major nuclear accident in '92, Tomsk-7

The French were dumping nuclear waste there until 2010, when the crap storage conditions caused a public outcry. Well, turns out they've started again...

how crap are the storage conditions?

take a look at these thousands and thousands of barrels just sitting out exposed to the Siberian elements, swinging between averages of -20 degrees in January to +25 in July

Greenpeace France ran an investigation that found that the partially state-owned nuclear fuel company Orano had started shipping nuclear waste to the Seversk site

and this is the sort of carry-on that the EU is in danger of giving a 'sustainable' label...

Something mysterious has been happening to some clocks on the European continent. From Portugal to Poland, from Denmark to Turkey, some clocks have been running slow. And it’s all because of a row between Serbia and Kosovo. A thread.

Normal wall clocks and watches keep time with a quartz crystal, cut into the shape of a tiny tuning fork, which vibrates at a constant frequency when electricity passes through it. (it's super cool and you should read about it en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quartz_cl…)

But clocks which plug into the mains electricity – on ovens, microwaves, central heating, radios, DVD players etc – use the frequency of the electricity grid to keep time. The standard frequency in Europe is 50Hz, 50 oscillations per second.
