Should we be worried about the Syrian nuclear plant that got destroyed by Israel?

Do you mean the one that Israel bombed in 2007?

@1TubeGuru Yes… I’m just learning about this now. Did any fallout make it to urban centers?

I am not even sure they had fuel in the reactor.the photos i have seen made it look like it was under construction at the time of the attack.

I was under the impression that the plant was still under construction and there was no radioactive material present. I think that was one of the considerations the IDF took into account when they bombed when they did.

The entire planet is toxic, what’s a little more radiation? lol
The air quality is extremely bad here in CA. from the big Yosemite fire, I have felt like crap for weeks because of particle pollution. I wish the whole damn earth would just explode and start over quite frankly, but nooooo…..we moronic humans are just choosing a slow and lingering death. Oh well..time for a Corona and some deck sitting. haha

Ain’t much going on in the Middle East that doesn’t worry me, but I try not to dwell on it.

No.

Frankly, we should thank Israel, because if they hadn’t destroyed the plant, we might have had 30000 people die of a nuclear blast instead of 1400 from chemicals.

The plant wasn’t active. The Israelis may be brash, but they are not stupid.

Is it logical for anything that is tangentially related to something that has something to do with nuclear power grounds for fear?

If you are worried about it then fear the Sun; a huge, nuclear fireball that will kill us all.

@jerv – while that’s true, the sun’s fireball is expected to incinerate our ancestors in about 40 billion years. With any luck, I’ll be dead by then.

A loose nuclear weapon, however, if set off in the next 30 years, is much more likely to incinerate me.

So while it is true that the sun is a almost perpetual nuclear reaction, it poses far less of an immediate danger.

@elbanditoroso You are FAR more rational about things than many anti-nuclear people I’ve seen. Realistic risk assessment is what it’s all about, and realistically, there is no way that a military force as intelligent as Israel’s would’ve bombed if their bombs caused more damage than the bombs that they were bombing to stop from being made.

US forces may go off half-cocked and ill-informed, but Israel wouldn’t.
