World War 3: Russia partial mobilization, nuclear option armed, says NATO is waging war through Ukraine!

21 September 2022 (13:41-UTC-07 Tango 06) 30 Shahrivar 1401/24 Safar1444/26 Ji-You 4720/21 сентября 2022 года

В.Путин: Уважаемые друзья!

Тема моего выступления – ситуация на Донбассе и ход специальной военной операции по его освобождению от неонацистского режима, захватившего власть на Украине в 2014 году в результате вооружённого государственного переворота.

Обращаюсь сегодня к вам, ко всем гражданам нашей страны, к людям разных поколений, возраста и национальности, к народу нашей великой Родины, ко всем, кого объединяет большая историческая Россия, к солдатам и офицерам, добровольцам, которые сейчас сражаются на передовой, находятся на боевом посту, к нашим братьям и сёстрам – жителям Донецкой и Луганской народных республик, Херсонской и Запорожской областей, других освобождённых от неонацистского режима районов.

Речь пойдёт о необходимых, неотложных шагах по защите суверенитета, безопасности и территориальной целостности России, о поддержке стремления и воли наших соотечественников самим определять своё будущее и об агрессивной политике части западных элит, которые всеми силами стремятся сохранить своё господство, а для этого пытаются блокировать, подавить любые суверенные самостоятельные центры развития, чтобы и дальше грубо навязывать другим странам и народам свою волю, насаждать свои псевдоценности.

Цель этого Запада – ослабить, разобщить и уничтожить в конечном итоге нашу страну. Они уже прямо говорят о том, что в 1991 году смогли расколоть Советский Союз, а сейчас пришло время и самой России, что она должна распасться на множество смертельно враждующих между собой регионов и областей.

И такие планы они вынашивают давно. Они поощряли банды международных террористов на Кавказе, продвигали наступательную инфраструктуру НАТО вплотную к нашим границам. Они сделали своим оружием тотальную русофобию, в том числе десятилетиями целенаправленно взращивали ненависть к России, прежде всего на Украине, которой они готовили участь антироссийского плацдарма, а сам украинский народ превратили в пушечное мясо и толкнули на войну с нашей страной, развязав её, эту войну, ещё в 2014 году, используя вооружённые силы против гражданского населения, организовав геноцид, блокаду, террор в отношении людей, которые отказались признать власть, возникшую на Украине в результате госпереворота.

А после того, как сегодняшний киевский режим фактически публично отказался от мирного решения проблемы Донбасса и, более того, заявил о своих притязаниях на ядерное оружие, стало абсолютно ясно, что новое, очередное, как это уже было прежде дважды, крупномасштабное наступление на Донбасс неизбежно. А затем так же неизбежно последовала бы и атака на российский Крым – на Россию.

В этой связи решение об упреждающей военной операции было абсолютно необходимым и единственно возможным. Её главные цели – освобождение всей территории Донбасса – были и остаются неизменными.

Луганская Народная Республика уже практически полностью очищена от неонацистов. Бои в Донецкой Народной Республике продолжаются. Здесь за восемь лет киевский оккупационный режим создал глубоко эшелонированную линию долговременных укреплений. Их штурм в лоб обернулся бы тяжёлыми потерями, поэтому наши части, а также воинские подразделения республик Донбасса действуют планомерно, грамотно, используют технику, берегут личный состав и шаг за шагом освобождают донецкую землю, очищают от неонацистов города и посёлки, оказывают помощь людям, которых киевский режим превратил в заложников, в живой щит.

Как вы знаете, в специальной военной операции принимают участие профессиональные военнослужащие, проходящие службу по контракту. Плечом к плечу вместе с ними сражаются и добровольческие формирования: люди разных национальностей, профессий, возрастов – настоящие патриоты. Они по зову сердца встали на защиту России и Донбасса.

В связи с этим Правительству, Министерству обороны мною уже были даны поручения в полном объёме и в кратчайший срок определить правовой статус добровольцев, а также бойцов подразделений Донецкой и Луганской народных республик. Он должен быть таким же, как и у кадровых военнослужащих российской армии, включая материальное, медицинское обеспечение, социальные гарантии. Особое внимание должно быть уделено организации снабжения добровольческих формирований и отрядов народной милиции Донбасса техникой и снаряжением.

В ходе решения главных задач по защите Донбасса наши войска, исходя из планов и решений Министерства обороны и Генерального штаба по общей стратегии действий, освободили от неонацистов и значительные территории Херсонской и Запорожской областей, ряд некоторых других районов. В результате чего образовалась протяжённая линия боевого соприкосновения, которая составляет свыше тысячи километров.

О чём хочу сегодня впервые сказать публично? Уже после начала специальной военной операции, в том числе переговоров в Стамбуле, представители Киева реагировали на наши предложения весьма позитивно, и эти предложения прежде всего касались обеспечения безопасности России, наших интересов. Но очевидно, что мирное решение не устраивало Запад, поэтому после достижения определённых компромиссов Киеву фактически было дано прямое указание сорвать все договорённости.

Украину стали ещё больше накачивать оружием. Киевский режим пустил в ход новые банды иностранных наёмников и националистов, воинские части, обученные по стандартам НАТО и под фактическим командованием западных советников.

Одновременно самым жёстким образом был усилен режим репрессий по всей Украине в отношении своих собственных граждан, установленный сразу после вооружённого переворота 2014 года. Политика запугивания, террора, насилия принимает всё более массовые, страшные, варварские формы.

Хочу подчеркнуть: мы знаем, что большинство людей, живущих на освобождённых от неонацистов территориях, а это прежде всего исторические земли Новороссии, не хотят оказаться под игом неонацистского режима. В Запорожье, на Херсонщине, в Луганске и Донецке видели и видят те зверства, которые творят неонацисты в захваченных районах Харьковской области. Наследники бандеровцев и нацистских карателей убивают людей, пытают, бросают в тюрьмы, сводят счёты, расправляются, измываются над мирными гражданами.

В Донецкой и Луганской народных республиках, Запорожской и Херсонской областях до начала боевых действий проживало более семи с половиной миллионов человек. Многие из них вынуждены были стать беженцами, покинуть родной дом. А те, кто остался, – это порядка пяти миллионов человек – сегодня подвергаются постоянным артиллерийским и ракетным обстрелам со стороны неонацистских боевиков. Они бьют по больницам и школам, устраивают террористические акты против мирных жителей.

Мы не можем, не имеем никакого морального права отдать близких нам людей на растерзание палачам, не можем не откликнуться на их искреннее стремление самим определять свою судьбу. Парламенты народных республик Донбасса, а также военно-гражданские администрации Херсонской и Запорожской областей приняли решение о проведении референдумов о будущем этих территорий и обратились к нам, к России, с просьбой поддержать такой шаг.

Подчеркну: мы сделаем всё, чтобы обеспечить безопасные условия для проведения референдумов, для того чтобы люди могли выразить свою волю. И то решение о своём будущем, которое примет большинство жителей Донецкой и Луганской народных республик, Запорожской и Херсонской областей, мы поддержим.

Уважаемые друзья!

Сегодня наши Вооружённые Силы, как уже говорил, действуют на линии боевого соприкосновения, которая превышает тысячу километров, противостоят не только неонацистским формированиям, а фактически всей военной машине коллективного Запада.  (Today, our Armed Forces, as I have already said, are operating on the line of contact, which exceeds a thousand kilometers, they are confronting not only neo-Nazi formations [Ukrainian], but in fact the entire military machine of the collective West [NATO].)

В этой ситуации считаю необходимым принять следующее решение – оно в полной мере адекватно угрозам, с которыми мы сталкиваемся, – а именно: для защиты нашей Родины, её суверенитета и территориальной целостности, для обеспечения безопасности нашего народа и людей на освобождённых территориях считаю необходимым поддержать предложение Министерства обороны и Генерального штаба о проведении в Российской Федерации частичной мобилизации.  (In this situation, I consider it necessary to make the following decision – it is fully adequate to the threats we face – namely: to protect our Motherland, its sovereignty and territorial integrity, to ensure the security of our people and people in the liberated territories, I consider it necessary to support the proposal Ministry of Defense and the General Staff on the conduct of partial mobilization in the Russian Federation.)

Повторю, речь идёт именно о частичной мобилизации, то есть призыву на военную службу будут подлежать только граждане, которые в настоящий момент состоят в запасе, и прежде всего те, кто проходил службу в рядах Вооружённых Сил, имеет определённые военно-учётные специальности и соответствующий опыт.

Призванные на военную службу перед отправкой в части в обязательном порядке будут проходить дополнительную военную подготовку с учётом опыта специальной военной операции.

Указ о частичной мобилизации подписан.

В соответствии с законодательством об этом официально письмами будут сегодня проинформированы палаты Федерального Собрания – Совет Федерации и Государственная Дума.

Мобилизационные мероприятия начнутся сегодня, с 21 сентября. Поручаю главам регионов оказать всё необходимое содействие работе военных комиссариатов.  (Mobilization activities will begin today, from 21 September. I instruct the heads of regions to provide all necessary assistance to the work of military commissariats.)

Особо подчеркну, что граждане России, призванные на военную службу по мобилизации, получат статус, выплаты и все социальные гарантии военнослужащих, проходящих военную службу по контракту.

Добавлю, что Указ о частичной мобилизации также предусматривает дополнительные меры по выполнению государственного оборонного заказа. На руководителях предприятий ОПК лежит прямая ответственность за решение задач по наращиванию выпуска вооружений и военной техники, по развёртыванию дополнительных производственных мощностей. В свою очередь все вопросы материального, ресурсного и финансового обеспечения оборонных предприятий должны быть решены Правительством незамедлительно.  (I will add that the Decree on partial mobilization also provides for additional measures to fulfill the state defense order. The heads of defense industry enterprises are directly responsible for solving the tasks of increasing the production of weapons and military equipment, and deploying additional production capacities. In turn, all issues of material, resource and financial support for defense enterprises must be resolved by the Government immediately.)

Уважаемые друзья!

В своей агрессивной антироссийской политике Запад перешёл всякую грань. Мы постоянно слышим угрозы в адрес нашей страны, нашего народа. Некоторые безответственные политики на Западе не только говорят о планах по организации поставок Украине дальнобойных наступательных вооружений – систем, которые позволят наносить удары по Крыму, другим регионам России.  (In its aggressive anti-Russian policy, the West [NATO] has crossed every line. We constantly hear threats against our country, our people. Some irresponsible politicians in the West not only talk about plans to organize the supply of long-range offensive weapons to Ukraine – systems that will allow strikes against the Crimea and other regions of Russia.)

Такие террористические удары, в том числе с использованием западного оружия, уже наносятся по приграничным населённым пунктам Белгородской, Курской областей. В режиме реального времени с использованием современных систем, самолётов, кораблей, спутников, стратегических беспилотников НАТО осуществляет разведку по всему югу России.  (Such terrorist strikes, including with the use of Western weapons, are already being carried out on the border settlements of the Belgorod and Kursk regions [Vladimir Putin stated months ago that if NATO weapons were used against Russia it would be considered an act of war by NATO]. In real time, using modern systems, aircraft, ships, satellites, strategic drones, NATO carries out reconnaissance throughout southern Russia.)

В Вашингтоне, Лондоне, Брюсселе прямо подталкивают Киев к переносу военных действий на нашу территорию. Уже не таясь, говорят о том, что Россия должна быть всеми средствами разгромлена на поле боя с последующим лишением политического, экономического, культурного, вообще всякого суверенитета, с полным разграблением нашей страны.  (In Washington, London, Brussels, they are directly pushing Kyiv to transfer military operations to our territory. No longer hiding, they say that Russia should be defeated by all means on the battlefield, followed by the deprivation of political, economic, cultural, in general, any sovereignty, with the complete plunder of our country.)

В ход пошёл и ядерный шантаж. Речь идёт не только о поощряемых Западом обстрелах Запорожской атомной электростанции, что грозит атомной катастрофой, но и о высказываниях некоторых высокопоставленных представителей ведущих государств НАТО о возможности и допустимости применения против России оружия массового поражения – ядерного оружия.  (Nuclear blackmail was also launched. We are talking not only about the [Ukrainian] shelling of the Zaporizhzhya nuclear power plant, which is encouraged by the West, which threatens a nuclear catastrophe, but also about the statements of some high-ranking representatives of the leading NATO states about the possibility and admissibility of using weapons of mass destruction against Russia – nuclear weapons.)

Тем, кто позволяет себе такие заявления в отношении России, хочу напомнить, что наша страна также располагает различными средствами поражения, а по отдельным компонентам – и более современными, чем у стран НАТО. И при угрозе территориальной целостности нашей страны, для защиты России и нашего народа мы, безусловно, используем все имеющиеся в нашем распоряжении средства. Это не блеф.  (To those who allow themselves to make such statements about Russia, I would like to remind you that our country also has various means of destruction, and for some components – even more modern than those of the NATO countries. And when the territorial integrity of our country is threatened, we will certainly use all the means at our disposal to protect Russia and our people. It’s not a bluff.)

Граждане России могут быть уверены: территориальная целостность нашей Родины, наша независимость и свобода будут обеспечены, подчеркну это ещё раз, всеми имеющимися у нас средствами. А те, кто пытается шантажировать нас ядерным оружием, должны знать, что роза ветров может развернуться и в их сторону.

В нашей исторической традиции, в судьбе нашего народа – останавливать тех, кто рвётся к мировому господству, кто грозит расчленением и порабощением нашей Родины, нашему Отечеству. Мы и сейчас это сделаем, так и будет.  (It is in our historical tradition, in the destiny of our people, to stop those who strive for world domination, who threaten with the dismemberment and enslavement of our Motherland, our Fatherland. We will do it now, and so it will be.)

Верю в вашу поддержку.

World War 3: Idaho S-T-E-M preps grade schoolers for future war

“Summer is the time the program has given us to step outside our normal curriculum and experiment to try out new areas of STEM and develop new lessons we can then possibly submit to our national program for youth and other Starbase programs across the nation. Our Starbase staff were really excited about developing this new program and we hope to continue the curriculum into future summer camps and possibly the normal academic year.”-Courtney Taylor, Idaho Starbase director

During the months of June and July, 2022, fewer than 2-hundred 5th grade students in Idaho took part in an Idaho National Guard STEM (science, technology, engineering, math) Summer Camp program, called Starbase (STARBASE A Department of Defense Youth Program).  It is not the first time, but this year demand for such a program was high enough that the normal one camp was expanded into eight separate camps, and three new unique/specialized programs were tried-out.

The Starbase camp is for children of members of the Idaho state militia.  Military based STEM camps began in 2018, under the federal Department of Education’s (DoE) Title 1, however, according to the Idaho National Guard the federal Department of Defense (DoD) is actually providing the funding for the state militia operated STEM camps and after-school programs.

Military based STEM camps are also for children of migrant farm workers, under the federal DoE’s Migrant Education Program.  It appears that the DoD’s Starbase STEM camps are exclusively for children of National Guard personnel, and children of migrant workers!

Idaho Army National Guard photo by Crystal Farris, 28JUN2022.

For June 2022, Idaho’s Starbase introduced three new categories for its Summer camp; identifying weapons of mass destruction (WMD) under the guise of CSI (Crime Scene Investigation), Space-Force training under the guise of Mission to Mars, and survival training under the guise of search and rescue. Students were part of other programs such as the Caldwell Migrant Summer School Program,  the Idaho Wing of the Civil Air Patrol, the Learning Garden Children’s Center in Meridian, and four different regions of the YMCA (Christian organization founded in the United Kingdom, based in Switzerland).

For July 2022, Starbase Idaho wrapped-up the season by introducing 3rd through 6th grade students to Idaho Army National Guard armored vehicles.

For years, the hi-tech industry in Idaho has worked with the military to educate grade school aged children in the ways of STEM.  Boise based computer chip maker Micron has its own STEM bus which makes visits to military bases. (just a week ago, Micron warned of continuing chip shortages, but this time due to crashing demand caused by inflation)

Dodge pickup spontaneously bursts into flames! Area 51?

Until 2010, the Nevada National Security Site was known as the Nevada Test Site/Sandia National Laboratories.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

In July 1986, a relatively new Dodge Ram pickup suddenly caught fire, or rather whatever it had in the bed of the truck suddenly caught fire.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

These photos came with no explanation, only with vague reference to “fire testing” and “fire effects”.  The photos are titled as “General Test Truck Fire”.  I have a problem with it being referred to as a ‘test’, the photos clearly show that the Dodge was being driven along a road when the fire burst out.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

It pulled over, as did vehicles behind it.  Photos show items in the pickup bed were thrown out in an effort to prevent them from burning, an unused fire extinguisher is still in the bed, and the cab where the driver sits also caught fire.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

One photo is focused on two strange looking boxes/electrical components that have suffered fire damage.

Nevada Test Site photo, 09JUL1986.

Perhaps this truck was being used to carry materials to conduct ‘fire testing’, and those flammable materials burst into flames under the hot Nevada Sun?  By the way, Area 51 is officially part of the U.S. Air Force’s Nevada Test and Training Range, not the Nevada Test Site.

Fukushima Reduxe!!! 7+ quake, tsunamis, 6- quake, nuke plants offline, train derails!

16 March 2022  (12:11-UTC-07 Tango 06) 25 Esfand 1400/12 Sha’ban 1443/14 Gui Mao 4720

The first quake (at about 08:00 Mountain Time North America) maxed out Japan’s magnitude scale, which tops out at 7.  First quake was felt Fukushima Prefecture’s Sōma City, at a depth of 63km (USGS data). Second quake of less than 6 on the Japan mag-scale reported in other areas. Nuclear power plants in Fukushima now offline, sudden water loss in reactors and cooling pools for spent fuel rods.

Fukushima nuke plants that went offline supply power to Tokyo. So much for A-I/’smart’ homes/apartments, residence who live in those computer controlled residences say the doors automatically locked them inside the home due to the power outage!  One bullet-train traveling from Fukushima has derailed. Avalanche warning issued.

I checked recent earthquake records and it appears Miyagi Prefecture, which borders Fukushima Prefecture, has been experiencing mid-level magnitude quakes for past several weeks.

Video of this morning’s (North America time, during the night in Japan) earthquake showed what looks like transformers exploding in the distance.  At least one death in Sōma City reported.

Battle Damage: IRAQ 2003

Vehicle I-D: Ukraine’s BTR-3DA

Vehicle I-D: What happens when both sides use the same weapons?

Ukraine is the birthplace of Russia.  Today’s larger Russia expanded out of Ukraine.  In the 20th Century the new Union of Soviet Socialist Republics allowed the creation of a separate Soviet Republic of Ukraine. It was during the time of the Soviet Union that Ukraine became a major manufacturer of weapon systems for the U.S.S.R.  In 1991, Ukraine lead the collapse of the Soviet Union by declaring independence.  Then there was the creation of the European Union (EU).  Both the EU and NATO have been actively involved in ‘behind-the-scenes’ influence of the Ukrainian government, for decades now.  Despite that, even today Russia and Ukraine use the same type of major weapon systems.  How do you tell them apart during combat?

This T-64BV is not marked, but carries large Russian and Donbas militia flags.

Russia has obviously thought about that because their ground vehicles, along with the military ground vehicles of Donetsk Republic and Lugansk (Luhansk) Republic have been given unique operational markings.  They look like Latin alphabet letters but are not.  They also indicate the Area of Operation (AO); North in Kiev Oblast, or South in Donbas.

Video from the end of February 2022, Donbas-Lugansk Republic militia and their trucks, BMP-1s and 2S1 SP Guns, all marked with ‘Z’, waiting for orders to move-out:

In the Southern, Donbas area of operation (AO), Russian, Lugansk and Donetsk tracked and wheeled vehicles are marked with a ‘Z’.

Video report, posted on 03MAR2022, Ukrainian Ground Forces abandoned a T-64BV, Lugansk Republic forces quickly claimed it by spraying ‘Z‘ symbols on it, and working to repair it for their own use (it was one of two abandoned T-64BVs, the video also shows an abandoned BRDM-2):

Abandoned Ukrainian T-64BV, now in the hands of the Donbas militias as indicated by the ‘Z’ painted on the skirts.

In the Northern Kiev Oblast AO the vehicles are marked with a ‘V’. Video of ‘V‘ marked Russian BMPs, BRTs and T-72B3s entering the Kiev Oblast of Ukraine from Belarus, the road sign gives the location away as the Gomel (Homiel) Oblast, Belarus-Kiev Oblast, Ukraine border crossing (heading towards Chernobyl Exclusion Zone?), 03MAR2022:

When you see a Western news report about Russian activities, if they are talking about Kiev AO (Area of Operation), but the images show vehicles with ‘Z‘ on them then the images are actually from the Donbas AO.

After 67 years, the world’s first nuclear powered submarine is still afloat, and heading for a $36-million (estimated) refurbishment, so it can continue its job as the U.S. Submarine Force Museum’s centerpiece.

Officials with the Submarine Force Museum claim that more than 100-thousand people tour the retired trend-setting submarine every year.

Assigned new duty as National Historic Landmark-Museum Ship on 20MAY1982, and began refurbishment at Mare Island, California.

Nautilus developed a hull vibration that rendered its sonar useless, It was decommissioned and stricken from active duty records on 03MAR1980.

10NOV1966 collision with USS Essex (CV-9)! The conning tower (aka sail) of Nautilus came into contact with the hull of the carrier Essex during anti-submarine war games off the North Carolina coast.

Essex was refueling when Nautilus, which was playing the ‘bad guy’, decided to make an attack run on Essex.  Both ships suffered damage and had to return to their home ports for repairs.  One person was wounded on Nautilus (a broken arm?), reportedly nobody was hurt or killed on Essex.

This is silent, USN color film (which looks like there should be audio because the Captain is talking to the camera), Captain congratulating crew upon reaching ’90 degrees North’ (notice the cake), and writing his official letter to the President of the U.S., during the secret mission called Operation Sunshine, August 1958:

According to Maritime Executive, “Sailing via the North Pole was impossible until the 1950s.”

The General Dynamics-Electric Boat built Nautilus was christened/launched on 21JAN1954, commissioned as a United States Ship (USS) on 30SEP1954, first sailing under nuclear power in January 1955 making it the world’s first SSN (Submersible Ship Nuclear).

The S2W nuclear powerplant for Nautilus was born in the Arco Desert of Eastern Idaho, in 1953, on a USN base then known as the National Reactor Testing Station (now known as Idaho National Laboratory).

The prototype S1W Reactor (aka Submarine Thermal Reactor) remained in use in the Eastern Idaho desert until 1989, training sailors to operate nuclear powerplants on ships. While the reactor was built in a section of submarine hull, the Navy did not build an entire Nautilus sub and then bury it in the Arco Desert (!that would’ve been too cool if they did, but there are the remains of the nuclear powerplant of a nuclear powered bomber out there!).

The U.S. Army’s Defense Threat Reduction Agency has revealed that from October 18th through the 22nd, Republic of Korea (RoK, South Korea) anti-nuclear combat team conducted training on the U.S. Navy owned Idaho National Laboratory (INL).

It’s called the Nuclear Infrastructure, Assessment and Characterization Course, and is taught mainly on the INL’s Idaho Falls campus.  This is, according to the U.S. Army, part of twice a year training of anti-nuclear units, this being the seventh time since 2018.

U.S. units are called Nuclear Disablement Teams (NDT), the RoK units are called Nuclear Characterization Teams (NCT), they have slightly different missions.

The U.S. NDT focus on finding and disabling nuclear facilities/weapons, while the RoK NCT include other CBRN (Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear) operations.

WMD: Idaho’s All Hazards Environment

“Idaho National Lab has access to training aids for radiological scenarios, safety staff and training facilities for the scenarios we presented to the students. We worked in radiologically contaminated environments and in high radiation fields.”-Captain Daniel W. Arguello, 1st Area Medical Laboratory, 44th Medical Brigade, 20th Chemical, Biological, Radiological, Nuclear, Explosives (CBRNE) Command, U.S. Army

U.S. Army photo, 17AUG2021.

In the middle of the Arco Desert, in Eastern Idaho, lies the U.S. Department of Energy’s 890-square-mile Idaho National Laboratory (INL).  The INL has offices in the city of Idaho Falls (known as Idaho Falls Campus), but the actual 890 square mile site (known as Desert Site Facilities) is located in the Arco Desert, about 50 miles west of Idaho Falls. It’s interesting that Google Maps does not show the actual INL site, just the offices in Idaho Falls. Google Maps does show EBR-1, the world’s first nuclear reactor (and site of the world’s first deadly nuclear meltdown), which is part of the 890 square mile INL site.

Due to the decades of radiation contamination on the INL site, it has become the logical choice for training military personnel on how to deal with radiation contamination environments: “The focus of the training is to train Army and sister service personnel to respond to accidents and incidents involving radiation or radioactive materials, conduct radioactive source recovery operations and provide radiological site assessments of areas suspected to be contaminated with radioactive material.”-First Lieutenant Joshua D. Salazar, 1st Area Medical Laboratory, 44th Medical Brigade, 20th CBRNE Command, U.S. Army

In the middle of August, 2021, the annual Radiological Hazards Operations Course (known to FEMA as a HOT [Hands On Training] Course) was taught by the U.S. Army’s First Lieutenant Joshua D. Salazar and Captain Daniel W. Arguello.  They are with the 20th CBRNE Command, which is headquartered on Aberdeen Proving Ground, Maryland.  The training is a way of preparing for future warfare: “Through this course, these outstanding health physicists are helping to keep our military ready to fight and win in an all hazards environment.”-Colonel Matt Grieser, 1st Area Medical Laboratory, 44th Medical Brigade, 20th CBRNE Command, U.S. Army

The Idaho National Laboratory (INL) used to be known as INEEL, before that INEL, before that ERDA and before that NRTS.  The name changes coincide with changes in government agencies and contractors who run the site.  You can actually take a tour of the historical and deadly site.

Solar flares to sink U.S. Navy?

“I study solar flares and I spent my career modeling them. We generally think of flares in terms of their size or their brightness, but we often ignore the part about their duration.”-Jeff Reep, U.S. Naval Research Laboratory

On 15JUN2021, the U.S. Naval Research Laboratory published a story concerning the expected increase in duration of solar flares, and the possibility that entire U.S. Navy (USN) fleets could be affected.

In a recent scenario a USN fleet was hit by a solar flare, destroying its electrical infrastructure and causing havoc to its electronic communications.  The U.S. Naval Research Laboratory is working on a way to allow fleet commanders to conduct real-time forecasting of such solar flares, and to determine how long they will last.  (Forecasting the Remaining Duration of an Ongoing Solar Flare)

The USN scientists argue that how long a solar flare lasts is as important as how intense the flare is, yet we still can’t determine how long such solar events will last.  The research is part of a NASA program called Living With A Star.
