Plutonium 238/Sattelite Reentry

Submitted by Anonymous on Tue, 2011-09-20 09:53

"impact will be on friday.

Sat has a plutonium 238reactor that will come apart on reentry. One microgram of plutonium airborn could kill an individual. that plutonium 238 is about 275x more radioactive and toxic than nukes Pu-239. 5:26 AM

here are the specs for the nuclear battery The generator has these specifications: ?14 year lifetime Nominal power : 140 We Mass ~ 20 kg System efficiency: ~ 30 % 2 General Purpose Heat Source (“Pu238 Bricks”) modules Uses 0.8 kg plutonium-238 5:35 AM"

Can anyone confirm or deny this?

Odds go up lol

A huge, dead satellite tumbling to Earth is falling slower than expected, and may now plummet down somewhere over the United States tonight or early Saturday, despite forecasts that it would miss North America entirely, NASA officials now say.

Satellite components...

I think in 1963 a satellite came down in the Phillipines. Based on relatives who were adults at the time many people there died or became extremely ill so it can be assumed that there is nuclear material included in the components of the powerplant of satellites.

Exactly...

The fact of satellites and other items sourced from both public and secret military and industrial activities conveniently being deposited in the Oceans should be grounds for anyone to reconsider consuming any foods from them.

I forget the man's name, but he is associated with Greenpeace and in a documentary film about the fight against whalers he stated that based on what he knows he refuses to eat anything from the Oceans where all manner of sewage resides...

good info -thx. I'll

good info -thx. I'll investigate further.
Not a word in the MSM re: the makeup of debris. They never seem to ask the authorities the right questions, do they?

What was your source of info

Doubtful

It's doubtful that the satellite contains a Pu-238 RTG.

NASA Earth orbital satellites are usually powered by solar cells. NASA puts Pu-238 RTGs on probes like the Voyagers that are destined for the outer reaches of the solar system where solar power is too low. But for Earth orbital satellites, solar power is used.

The Russians had some Earth orbital military satellites with big radars that needed lots of power that had nuclear power sources. One of them in the "Cosmos" series de-orbited and came down in Canada a few decades ago.
