Some have a short half-life (e.g., Iodine-131, 8 days) while others have an extremely long half-life (e.g., Plutonium-239, 24 000 years more information here). A simple example: radioisotopes released during nuclear accidents transform to stable elements after some time.

Others that can be equally or more devastating, like the release of industrial pollutants to the environment, chemical explosions, severe air pollution, mining accidents, chemical weapons, oil spills, tailings dam failures. Here I am not only talking about nuclear accidents. All the knowledge we have today is not enough to obtain single, quick fix solutions to limit their consequences. We should be able get you fairly close to where survey team had set up, but I fear the likelihood of running into alien creatures is very high.TWO – Most environmental problems are not easy to remediate at all because they are extremely complex, involving an enormous number of variables. I'm afraid you're the only one that can do this, seeing as how everyone else will be needed to run the equipment. In order any of us to get out of here alive, someone will need go to the borderworld, and activate the device. We later discovered other methods of aiming the field, but all the equipment in this lab uses the older technology. We lost contact with the survey group shortly after the device was in place. This device could then be used as a focal point and relay to aid in the teleportation. Some of the more promising research on the matter led to a device that could be attached to the strange crystalline structures we found in this borderworld. We discovered a strange borderworld that was somehow involved in the process, and this kept us from accurately predicting where any given teleportation event would lead to back on Earth. Calhoun, teleportation isn't as simple as going from point A to point B. Once we were able to consistently create the teleporter field, we ran into new problems. Interestingly, the Crossbow, Tau, Gluon, and Laser Trip Mine's first person models have Barney's hands on them instead of Gordon's. Unused Weapons Gluon Gun, Tau Cannon, Crossbow, Snark, Laser Trip MineĪll of the models for the Crossbow, Tau Cannon, Gluon Gun, Snark, and Laser Trip Mine exist in the game's files. This also includes content that was unused in the original game, such as the cut enemies. 4.2 Captivation Digital Laboratories LogoĪll of the art, code, and sounds from the original game is in Blue Shift, most of it unused.2.1 Gluon Gun, Tau Cannon, Crossbow, Snark, Laser Trip Mine.
