  4. Chernobyl- The Best Place To Happen

    industry doesn't require as much power as residency does.
  5. Chernobyl- The Best Place To Happen

    reactors are built were energy is needed. Nobody lives in Siberia. Not compared to the west of Russia in any case. I suppose a lot can be done with hydro power and simple coal or gas plants. and like yo say, not smart to built one in the middle of nowhere without good help closeby.
  6. Chernobyl- The Best Place To Happen

    Maybe if other reactor types had similar flaws, like VVER reactors. One of them is located at Kalinin, 200 kilometers from Moscow.
  7. WI: Churchill or Stalin Die Instead of Roosevelt

    More interesting maybe would be Roosevelts attitude towards Japan. Would he drop the bomb?
  8. AHC: Waffles in the Third Reich

    no i mean if germans left them neutral. and yes, dutch, belgians, actually americans. very confusing. Dutch people, in Belgium selling an american product(but making a hole in it to make the trademark dougnut we know today)
  9. AHC: Waffles in the Third Reich

    Waffles are very Belgian. If Belgium stays neutral... they can sell them at the frontlines. Much like they did with doughnuts during WW1. Then the Germans can intergrate it into their onwn country.
  10. unthinkable

  12. unthinkable

    they all migrate to Africa?
  13. unthinkable

    so, abandon the UK and favour the Soviets overrunning Europe? Fat chance. Even with the US in the fight the Soviet outnumbered them like 3 to 1. Sure they were on their gums, but don't underestimate commitment after a betrayal like that.

    balloons filled with napalm that slowely descent upon enemy territory? just throwing something out there.
  15. Plausibility Discussion: WI barbarossa is launched as a winter offensive.

    warm engines and warm clothes are nice but what happens when a snow storm hits your advancing army or has hit your route and covered it in snow? What about the luftwaffe? Its not just cold, you got lots of bad weather and shorter days.

  18. WI: Chernobyl Thermal Explosion?

    the fear was of a steam explosion, not a hydrogen explosion. And yes, it was a hell of a lot of water under that reactor, about 20,000 tonnes of it.
  19. WI: Chernobyl Thermal Explosion?

    if the explosion is big enough, like 1 kilotons, you will have a mushroom cloud.
  20. WI: Chernobyl Thermal Explosion?

    well i'm not sure how big(heavy) the corium pile was, but wouldn't it at least consistently pollute the water of the Dnjepr river all the way to Kiev for years if contact was made? I'm not saying its going to be a whole lot, but pollution you don't want to live near. I thought that was the...
