The 1mSv per year is the max the employees at the dump/recycling plant can be exposed to, so leeching more than that into public water systems seems impossible unless I'm missing something. This comes mainly from solid scale deposits removed from the closed loop systems.
Average employees in German plants seemed to get around 3 mSv/yr on their table.

At Fukushima, According to TEPCO records, the average workers’ effective dose over the first 19 months after the accident was about 12 mSv. About 35% of the workforce received total doses of more than 10 mSv over that period, while 0.7% of the workforce received doses of more than 100 mSv.
The 10mSv was the estimated average exposure for those who evacuated immediately, not the area. Because iodine 131 has a half life of 8 days, the local exposure levels dropped rapidly, but because caesium-137 has a half life of 30 years, contaminated areas will be "hot" for quite a while, and are still off limits as I understand it.

Sort of...., most of the area surrounding Chernobyl is just above background levels after major decontamination including removal of all soil, but many areas closer to the plant are still being measured at well above safe levels to this day, and unapproachable, while others may be visited only with monitoring equipment, dose meters, and only for short times. It's not back to background levels everywhere, with measurements up to 336uSv/hr recorded in enclosed areas and abandoned recovery equipment (the claw used to dig at the reactor for instance)....no where near that low at the plant itself. Places like the nearby cemetery which couldn't have the contamination removed still measure higher than maximum occupational limits for adults working with radioactive material. The radiation levels in the worst-hit areas of the reactor building, including the control room, have been estimated at 300Sv/hr, (300,000mSv/hr) providing a fatal dose in just over a minute.

Don't get me wrong, I support nuclear power. I just don't believe in pretending it's "safe". That's how Chernobyl happened....overconfidence and irresponsibility. If we consider it unacceptably disastrous if it goes wrong, we might design plants that can't go wrong...The tech exists.

I never played against Thresh but Quake 1/2 TF/CTF/Death Match and Half-Life 1 TF/CTF/Death Match are among the best gaming years I've had during my teens.

I really miss those early glory days of FPS.

The mining company extracted $8 Billion in gold and the government (tax payers) is picking up the tab of $934 Million for remediation over the next 100 years for something that does not have a half-life or decays. Regulations, the rule of law, right and wrong really doesn't matter to those who profit.

Half Life,HL2,Portal and Portal 2 have consumed much of my time.

I fought these fuckers in Half Life 2.

Ok, statistics class was 28 years ago....and I was pretty high by midnight. We both made mistakes...i still say that blaze chart is bullshit and intentionally misleading in multiple ways.

How many years before a 50% chance of cancer...heart disease, death by stairs...etc. We don't assess things that way, so it's just a nice big number to trot out and pretend it's meaningful.

Statistics can be used to prove anything, forfty percent of all people know that.

What if you put them all together, including suicide and accident, instead of starting by dividing into various gun death categories then choosing the least probable category to extrapolate? Now compare them to other dangers we strongly regulate against with evolving regulations, like automobile accidents. That's how these stats are properly used. Dangers aren't radiation, you don't look at the half life to comprehend them.

How bout just the story
Half-Life 2: Episode 3

Here it is with corrected names etc. https://github.com/Jackathan/MarcLaidlaw-Epistle3/blob/master/Epistle3_Corrected.md

So they did they intentionally design it to look like a poison headcrab and give me nightmares or was that just a happy accident?

Fro awhile I kept expecting them to come out of left field with new engine tech like they did for Half-Life 2 AND TF2.

But now I have just resigned that it will never happen unless they sell the IP to someone else.

They lost a good percentage of their killer art department to Arkane anyways.

Been waiting almost as long for Half Life 3 for a sequel to How is babby formed

It reminded me of Half-Life 1 when they did that face reveal. All that build-up and I was expecting something amazing. Then, bam! That unholy abomination. It's hardly even recognizable as humanoid. Holy shit, how is this considered a finished product?

Yeah I get it. Graphics don't make the game. But they do help you to get more immersed in the world and lose yourself in the lore. Something this dated coming out in 2016 just feels rushed and lazy.

Prior to that face, the walking animation was really bugging me especially with the way the legs moved once the feet hit the ground. Just totally unnatural.

Reminds me of Half-Life Barnacles http://half-life.wikia.com/wiki/Barnacle

I was 13/14, games back then were magical. Anytime I was on a plane or in the car I was reading PC Gamer or CGM drooling over the demos (or shareware!), ads, previews and reviews. Remember those days? When information on gaming was largely through print?! I still remember those Dark Forces previews, I could have shot a load. PC gaming at that point really was fucking cutting edge.

1997 & 1998 also hold a special flame in gaming for me - 1997: Ultima Online (actually learned HTML and had a website for UO cuz I was a NERD), Fallout, GTA, Age of Empires, Dungeon Keeper, Quake II, Myth (incredible multiplayer component probably even still).

1998: Starcraft, Half-Life, Baldur's Gate, Thief, Grim Fandango, Fallout 2, Tribes, THIEF, Unreal, Commandos.... so many innovative games back then. Now we just build on them over and over and over again
