Weather

Following the introduction of fusion reactor testing in the Plant sector of the Cascade Research Facility, GATE installed sensitive radiation detection apparatus, heavy duty air scrubbers and ventilation. Radiation 'events' are an ever-present health risk, but as long as the reactors remain stable, the danger remains low. Recent revisions to the Gate Immurement Security Protocols (GISP) noted, however, that on-site perforation experiments will elevate this risk considerably if not carefully controlled. As such, GISP stipulates Level 2 hazard-wear and frequent iodine supplements for all staff working in the vicinity of these reactors. Internal GATE researchers are also exploring other ingestible substances to mitigate radiation effects. As a precaution, GATE technicians have installed a Rapid Ventilation switch in the Manufacturing West Shipping Control Tower, which may help clear the effects of a Radiation Leak Event. It is the GATE Safety Committee's understanding that this would have a negligible impact on surface wildlife over the next 10 years.
