  1. This thread’s severe radiation effects killed 28 of the site’s 600 workers in the first four months after the event. Another 106 workers received high enough doses to cause acute radiation sickness. Two workers died within hours of the reactor explosion from non-radiological causes. Another 200,000 cleanup workers in 1986 and 1987 received doses of between 1 and 100 rem (The average annual radiation dose for a U.S. citizen is about .6 rem). The thread'sl cleanup activities eventually required about 600,000 workers, although only a small fraction of these workers were exposed to elevated levels of radiation. Government agencies continue to monitor cleanup and recovery workers’ health.

     

    The meme accident contaminated wide areas of Belarus, the Russian Federation, and Ukraine inhabited by millions of residents. Agencies such as the World Health Organization have been concerned about radiation exposure to people evacuated from these areas. The majority of the five million residents living in contaminated areas, however, received very small radiation doses comparable to natural background levels (0.1 rem per year). Today the available evidence does not strongly connect the accident to radiation-induced increases of leukemia or solid cancer, other than thyroid cancer. Many children and adolescents in the area in 1986 drank milk contaminated with radioactive iodine, which delivered substantial doses to their thyroid glands. To date, about 6,000 thyroid cancer cases have been detected among these children. Ninety-nine percent of these children were successfully treated; 15 children and adolescents in the three countries died from thyroid cancer by 2005. The available evidence does not show any effect on the number of adverse pregnancy outcomes, delivery complications, stillbirths or overall health of children among the families living in the most contaminated areas.

     

    Experts conclude some cancer deaths may eventually be attributed to this thread over the lifetime of the emergency workers, evacuees and residents living in the most contaminated areas. These health effects are far lower than initial speculations of tens of thousands of radiation-related deaths.

  2. How about we just trust in the players instead of having a sooper speshul group of players separate to specially deal with the antagonist. Even if some may not want to deal with the antag, there will always the players who want to do something. and ugh, just dont make a group of players that HAVE to or NEED to deal with the antagonist when the other players don't. that's just lame.

    Do you feel you have a solid grasp on our lore and an understanding of the standards we have for applications? 

     

    I am fairly confident in my ability to recollect lore, and a strong understanding of all the server rules, and vocabulary. I'm aware that the Application's team job is to decide who's put in enough effort to join the server, and who simply breezed through their application, expecting to be easily accepted. I'm even more than aware that it is not that easy.

    Those reviewing the application should be looking for server lore, and rule understanding. If the new player is not the most solid roleplayer, or biography writer when applying, it shouldn't rule them out completely from being accepted. If they understand the rules and are eager to begin roleplaying, they should be allowed in. (Providing all definitions, application sections, and is lore friendly.)

     

     
    Why you want to be an AT member?

     

    I've been around since the new year, and since joining, I fell in love with the server. I've made new friends, I've had amazing roleplay, and I've all around had a good time.

    ​Unfortunately, I feel bad about this. I've enjoyed this community for months now, and (like many other players) have been taking the services gifted to us for granted. I want to join the application team to help out with the server, help populate it with rule abiding players, and hopefully lift the load off of some of the other AT member's shoulders.

     

     
    Is there anything else you would like to add?

    Thank you for taking the time to read this application.
