You are obviously a troll, and easily confused

confused about what? That we care so much about ponds? Probably not more
than car enthusiasts care about their cars, or other types of gardeners care about that, or woodworking folks care about their hobby. Take a look at some of the pictures posted here, and you may get it. "The Destroyer" wrote in message m... ponds....honestly ponds.....you people deeply confuse me, deeply indeed |

No no, we are best at cultivating algae and duckweed.

Jan,
Sorry, what you are saying is misinformation because the water in the ponds at nuclear sites have no contact with nuclear material at all. A side note that might be of interest is that at the Nuclear site in Russia where they had the disaster they have found that Sunflowers grow well in the nuclear soil and seem to have a great affinity for pulling the nuclear contaminants out of the soil fast and in larger quantities than any plant they have found.

only if the radioactive material is a nutrient normally taken up by the algae,
unfortunately. Then there is a the problem of disposing of the radioactive algae. what many people dont understand is that anything can become radioactive (well except helium IIRC) that is in contact with penetrating radiation.

huh? wow im well confused nuclear ponds? wtf?????? and i highlight the "F"!!! i like my pond because i can look out of my window in a morning and see my fav guys swiming about so happy,
pics of my pond building can be found at http://www.wardl895.karoo.net cheers rich |

As Tom said, the cooling ponds never touch the redioactive isotopes inside the reactor. The cooling system in the reactor is a closed loop system that uses a heat exchanger to transfer the heat out of the water in the reactor cooling system. The reactor coolant and the water from the cooling pond never physically mingle. OTOH, the waste pools are where discarded fuel rods are held. It's only supposed to be temporary but until the politic*ians decide what should be done, the fule rods still sit in many "temporary" pools. Those pools are supposedly built so that nothing escapes from them.

Using plants to remove radiation from soil. Last I heard he was trying tomato plants. BV. |

You must be in contact with particles. IE, if I was within a few feet of some plutonium it would kill me, but if I were not directly exposed to "its" air, I could walk away and not be radioactive.

I worked at a plant for a few months, doing on nuclear stuff, but I parked near the towers every day. It was weird to see how the updraft of the steam could actually pull the flow of water slightly inward towards the center of the tower. Yup, the water don't fall straight down in there. Very odd to see. BV. |

DH works at a nuclear plant and in cold weather they have nuclear winter around the cooling tower. It 'snows' all around the towers. kathy :-) A HREF="http://www.onceuponapond.com/"Once upon a pond/A |
