Are you a mod now?

He's got a point though

It still is known as Steel City. 

 

Rather that production which which is now way cheaper in the Far East, value is added to steel in Sheffield by a number of different very specialised finishing processes.

 

When Trump went to war with the rest of the world over steel tariffs, it emerged that part of the International Space Station was made from steel finished in Sheffield which NASA would have to pay a fortune for if Trump didn’t back down.

 

So yes, Sheffield would still be a target!

Where is the steel made for the space station in sheffield. I thought only the SMACC (Tinsley) site was the one remaining melting shop in Sheffield, and they made stainless when I ran out of there. Maybe it is stainless the space station uses?.

 

Is steel melted at Aldwarke and Thybergh?.

Unless they've both closed without me noticing, I can think of at least two big melting/remelting facilities in Sheffield - Allvac (Firth Browns as I still know it) and Sheffield Forgemasters River Don site. As a point of unrelated interest, I've worked at both.

I remember once reading that Sheffield would get two in the East of the city: one south of where Meadowhall is now to knock out industry and major north south road communications, a further north to ensure that north south road communication is cut. One in the city centre and one in the south west of the city to take out railways lines south and west. Finningly would have been hit too. Redundancy would be built into the attack plan with most targets assigned multiple warheads.

 

There would be hardly anything or anybody left.

Don't take this personally,  I1L2T3, but as I'm in a bolshie mood at the moment, and this subject has been bugging me for almost as long as I've been on SF, but why oh why do people (not just you) always look on the negative side of life on almost any subject posted here?🤔

Was anything learnt from the Chernobyl accident in Russia when the locals were exposed to radiation and what treatment they received in case there was a nuclear war? I know it’s a bit off topic but I’m just curious if there was any data kept.

 

If only the south of England was attacked by missiles, I don’t think it would make much difference to the north if radio active dust slowly spread north, it might allow us northerners time to say our goodbyes to our loved ones before nuclear dust reached us.  

 

 I would say the the lucky ones would be the people who took a direct hit from the missiles. Makes you go all cold when you think that it could happen.

I don’t. I look at things realistically.

Chernobyl wasn't a nuclear explosion thought, the radiation doses were quite different from how a bomb would behave. They have had detailed informtion though from other studies for much longer that is of more use.

If there's a positive spin you can put on Sheffield being hit by several thermonuclear warheads, please share it.

[RollingJ 2,037]

@HalibutI was not referring to this particular thread, but the general tendency on SF to moan about everything, or for a large proportion of the posters on here to find a negative angle to any subject, and then to shoot down anyone who questioned the permanent negativity.  It just seems, to me, that there are too many on here who could do with a bit more fun in their lives.
