Carelessness in industry usually ends up with suffering in its wake, from micro level of poor maintenance of equipment causing injuries to workers all the way to the macro level in the form of environmental pollution. The incident at Bukit Merah falls into the latter category, and shows how much damage can be caused by outright disregard for local communities

How about the Rocky Flats nuclear trigger plant outside of Boulder, Colorado? Believe it is in the process of reclamation, but back in the 1960s and 70s it had a long chain of "incidents".

The thing that really grates me about the LYNAS plant you mentioned at the end is that it's not processing any of Malaysian minerals. Instead it's processing minerals mined in Australia n dumping the waste in Malaysia. Even the waste site was initially considered not a prerequisite to issuing the operational license by the Malaysian atomic energy board.

So, 43,810 millirem per year equates to *120 millirem per day.* Worldwide, the average citizen receives 301 millirem of background radiation PER YEAR, or *0.82 millirems per day*. So the dose from the plant was 141.3 times higher than background radiation. In the U.S., the average citizen gets 620 millirem per year, or 1.7 millirem per day, 71 times lower than what the Mitsubishi plant was exposing the residents to. I worked in radioactive containment when I was in the Navy and again at Newport News Shipbuilding (I was a welder and worked almost exclusively in containment). Eventually, I also was employed for a year at Surry Nuclear Power station, although - with a few exceptions - I worked out on the click, not in the bubble (inside joke). My entire radiation exposure for all three of those jobs added together and spread out over 10 years... was 13.85 millirem. *I got more radiation going home everyday, than I got working in containment.*

Would you ever consider talking about disasters in military procurement? For example, the P-75 eagle was a project that fell through. It was pretty much just a Frankenstein of other planes; but with a new engine. It was hailed as a wonder plane, but the prototype faced HUGE issues such as the engineers miscalculating the CoM. You know, one of the most important design points of an aircraft.

We use mRem on our dosimeters and survey meters, so it’s always more interesting to me when you use those measurements because I used to those. Only thing I’d like to see change is when you talk about currencies. Kinda hard to see how much of an impact it is when it’s in a different countries’ currency instead of USD. Or even in the past, what’s that inflation to when you made the video? It’s not even a big problem honestly. Can’t get enough of this channel, though!

We really need a global health and safety and environmental protection agency that ensures that the strictest standards applies worldwide. The only reason making something (that isn't really worthless in the first place) while complying with strict rules is financially unviable, is because somewhere else people do not use these standards. If everyone followed the same rules, the price of something dangerous to produce would simply rise if stricter regulations were added. If it were viable before the new rules, it should still be with the new rules assuming the same rules apply everywhere and cost about the same.
@SteinGauslaaStrindhaug
@SteinGauslaaStrindhaug 4 жыл бұрын
An enforced global standard would not only mean fewer environmental disasters and workplace injuries. But it would probably reduce the amount of shipping needed world wide, and since it would be less lucrative to move production and waste disposal to other countries. Processes that are easily automated will cost about the same everywhere, with only minor differences in labour and electricity costs meaning if those differences are less than shipping to the cheapest place, it simply makes more sense to just do it locally. The problem with the world today is that the choice is: dispose of hazardous waste properly in a high cost country for a lot of money; or ship it dirt cheaply to a country with no rules and dump it for free. And even if most corporations had a conscience, the few that doesn't would outcompete the moral ones.

It's weird and relieving to see the name of the district you're staying at for a nuclear incident but then you realise it's actually a district from another country instead lol (Both Malaysia and Singapore has a 'Bukit Merah' district)

Im Malaysian, and we know the bukit merah history is not that simple. Its all about corruption where the rakyat had to bear all the consequences. Same to Lynas as well all is lies till they arrived and start to built.

After Bukit Merah incident, it just doesn't stop there. Decades ago, river pollution at Sungai Kim Kim, Johor also caused severe health issues. Then, someone dumped a barrel of fuel at the reservoir in Selangor. The main problem is one thing - our country environment law was terribly too lax. Heck, they still allow old buses and trucks which are worst pollutants and even 2-stroke motorcycles are still on the road.

So how much money did Mitsubishi save in total? Was/is it worth to avoid the _own_ law for the _own_ need for rare earth metals? How expensive would the japanese alternative have been?

(2:20) Monozite is a common mineral found in lots of ore bodies, like iron, phosphates, titanium, etc. Most US production of rare earth elements (REE) was derived from the tailings streams of those other mining efforts. At the time that this video took place, when the US was still the primary producer of REE, only a few REE (these being all the lanthinides plus Yttrium and Scandium) were used in industrial and technological applications, as they have weird electro-chemical properties, and are extremely difficult to separate because of this. However, it was these weird electro-chemical properties that would drive their greater use, taking off in the 80's and 90's. Check out the KZbin video "Stephen Boyd - Rare Earth Elements, History, Chemistry, Physics & Applications" Should also check out "Kennedy Rare-Earth-Elements (REE) Briefing to IAEA, United Nation"
