If Iran has a nuclear disaster like Chernobyl or 3 mile island what will happen?

they wont be able to control it in anyway and it will cause tribal damage to people, wildlife and environ met not only in Iran but all over the Earth. i recently read an article about the effect of nuclear explosions on the earth spin and its effect on climate change...it might happen in Iran but we might also get affected on the other side of the world by another hurricane or tsunami!

The disaster in Chernobyl was a by-product of the Soviet system, which did not reward the bearer of bad news and did not divulge negative information to the public.  \n\nThe issue in Iran is not relevant.  In the Iranian issue, the debate is centered on weapons-grade fissible production.  The concern isn't whether they can operate a nuclear reactor safely, but rather their intentions for use of nuclear weapons and whether or not they will account for them.\n\nPeople still talk about Chernobyl.  You just don't hang out with people who do.  Current reactor technology is much more advanced and safer that it was.  Also, as indicated earlier, the problem was not a technical one, but a political/sociological one.  It is interesting though, because only 5 years after Chernobyl, the Soviet Union melted down in much the same way Chernobyl did.  One almost has to believe it was inevitable.

Everyone loses..use of nuclear weapons would throw the world into nuclear winter. \n\nSurvivors cockroaches

Writing a book, hmmmm....Look people the next big one will start with nukes going off at the same time in Tel Aviv, NY, DC, and London. \n\nThat will be from Iran's Hamas, next will be freighters in all of the US shipping ports having nukes in lead shielded boxes in the fuel oil tanks of merchant ships. That will effectively take the US completely out of it in the first 30mins of WW3 \n\nNow after that North Korea will take South Korea and China will take Japan and as much of Russia as possible. Europe will wisely sue for peace with China as the new World Super power. \n\nAfter things calm down a bit negotiations between the EU and China will take place. The former US will be divided up between the two based upon the premise that France will not nuke what is left. \n\nDuring these negotiations the EU and China will also plan a lightning take over of the middle east which will also be divided up between the two powers. When all is said and done there will be peace and technological progress unheard of before.

There isn't any danger. Because IAEA is observing all nuclear activities in these two countries. So, Will there be any danger? But there are some countries that are making nuclear weapons but no one prohibit them of countinuing their destructive plans. Honest!

if you are really worried about us getting blown up, you might want to think a little into the future about the effects of blowing up iran.

I don't think Iran will back down and we will probably strike Iran with possible the help of Israel. I think that probably won't happen for several months until all else fells. This could be the start of the tribulation.

Worst case scenario guess...\n\n1) UN tries "sanctions"... Iran continues anyway... because they are an evil regime (Note that I did not say that the vast majority of Iranian people are evil.. it is the leadership and extremists, not the majority of the people)and do not care about anyone else anyway\n2) UN tries to organize countries to "act".. the UN pansies around as they always do... actions are not strong enough and limits are not enforced\n3) Iran then threatens use of Nukes (whether hey have them yet or not) if Sanctions are not lifted....\n4) Israel will not stand for this, since they will be the primary target... Israel wipes out Iran, with the US on the back burner making sure other nations do not attack Israel

Nuclear energy is dangerous in the hands of any nation. Contrary to popular belief proliferated by propaganda from the energy industry, there is no safe way to dispose of nuclear waste except launching it into outer space.  Here’s a best answer to one of my questions about the disposal of nuclear waste, “If there was (a safe way to dispose of nuclear waste) we would use nuclear energy. It is not and never was a workable energy source because of the hazards and waste."\n\nAmerica has about 70,000 metric tons of nuclear waste with a half life of 5,000 years.  Our solution was to put this waste in a hole 90 miles outside Las Vegas in an earthquake prone area.\n\nWhat does Iran plan to do with their nuclear waste?

Yes, Iran should be blown off the map, it would be one of the best things that could happen

It should not be allowed nuclear capabilities, and we should all endever to prevent this occurance, because it is not within the intrests of the Western world. I recognise the arguement that Iran is as unstable or backward as the Western press portray it to be, however a neuclear Iranian would enable it to dictate policy in the region to a much larger degree, look at North Korea for example. The West needs a weaker Iran to exploit its natural resources, we should not be apologetic about this fact, we should however be careful how we go about it. As previous events have shown, badly planned interferance is far worse than isolationism.

Shortly after Iran gets Nukes.

The world will never be safe. Countries will still try to dominate and subjugate one another.\n\nMutual destruction only limits Nuclear action.  There are pleanty of ground wars going on.

If Iran remains stubborn on the issue and fails to cooperate with the UN inspectors like Saddam did, or continues to insist on gathering the materials to make a nuclear bomb, there is a very real danger of that happening. I truly hope not, but Iran's leader may force our hand, again, just as Saddam did. Pray for peace, my friend. There's been enough bloodshed and war, but we will do what we have to do. God bless.

Radionucleides.  The only time you might ordinarily be exposed to them is during a medical proceedure wherein the radiation they emit is a desired aspect.  Those proceedures are either for diagnostic purposes or theraputic purposes.  \n\nBad for you?  No, the amount of radiation your body is exposed to during such an exam is quite minimal.  On the other hand, theraputic radiation is very, very carefully controlled and administered.  In the past, folks sometimes experienced quite a bit of discomfort during radiation therapy.  That's much less the case now, and we have medicines to help what discomfort there is - medicines that simply were not avaliable until recently.\n\nThat having been said, there's been a lot of fuss and bother over the possibility of someone "exploding a dirty bomb",  meaning a device that might spread radioactive particles over a wide area.  Despite Homeland Security's attempts to panic us, that is very, very, VERY unlikely.  So is a nuclear accident like Three Mile Island twenty or so years ago - and Three Mile Island, frightening as it was for people living nearby, left nobody outside the plant sick from radiation - nobody.  But a serious accident COULD result in many, many serious injuries and deaths.  The proper response is for surrounding communities to have in place a proper disaster response plan that may include mass evacuation and prophylactic medicines in stock.  Unfortunately, despite all the hype and all the promises, vitually no community has done squat to properly prepare for either a nuclear accident or a deliberate attempt an spreading nuclear-contaminated materal.  Sure as can be, the Federal government has done virtually nothing worthwhile in that respect!   The stinkers...
