  • Start date
In summary, a nuclear disaster is a catastrophic event that involves the release of harmful levels of radiation from a nuclear power plant or nuclear weapon. These disasters can occur due to natural disasters, human error, or deliberate attacks. The consequences of a nuclear disaster can be devastating, including long-term health effects, environmental contamination, and displacement of populations. The basics of preparing for a nuclear disaster include understanding the risks, having an emergency plan, and knowing how to protect oneself in the event of a nuclear emergency. Prompt and effective response measures, such as evacuation and decontamination, are crucial in mitigating the effects of a nuclear disaster.

First of all, I am glad I could join. I have found myself in the type of situation that I have a wonderful ability of getting myself into. I am in way over my head in a subject that I can't even tread water in. My facebook friends can't help me and Wikipedia just confuses me. My real name is Justin but in the southwest it is either Housteen or Yustin. I am 29 years old. I do not have any college education and my related high school education consists of one chemistry class that I did ok in and a physical science class that I barely passed in. I hope I have come to the right place and apologize in advance for any annoyance or waste of time. I guess my interests would be those revolving around nuclear disasters. Thanks!

I thought Justin was pronounced Justin. Unless you live in a Latino neighborhood.

Housteen or Houstin gets pronounced, Who-steen. Yustin gets pronounced just the way it is spelled. My wife likes to say it Housteeeeen. I have argued that if I was born and grew up a Justin, then no matter where I go, my name is Justin. never Houstin or Yustin but there is a part of me that kinda likes being called Houstin.
