Their image is projected live using an optical system, without going through digital. Every little drop that passes through the system is radioactive, but so small in size that the radiation is minute. But the projection system, made of concrete, makes us think of nuclear power stations crossed by highly radioactive fluids, particularly dangerous at these size scales. High radiation levels can then be responsible for cancer. Diseases that are often treated... by radiotherapy, by circulating radioactive materials in our blood capillaries, as fine as our hair.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/site.dominiquepeysson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/compteurGeiger.png?resize=624%2C368&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"geiger counter\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"368\" width=\"624\" title=\"geiger counter\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>The public will be able to test the level of radioactivity at different points in the installation using a Geiger counter at their disposal, and feel the tension rise when the number of counts per minute detected by the counter accelerates.<\/p>\n\t\t\t\t<img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/site.dominiquepeysson.net\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/07\/ouraline.jpg?resize=709%2C374&#038;ssl=1\" alt=\"uralin\" itemprop=\"image\" height=\"374\" width=\"709\" title=\"uralin\" onerror=\"this.style.display='none'\"  \/>\n\t<p>Ouraline, or uranium glass, used here as a receptacle for the fluids coming out of Trafic, is a harmless, easy-to-find radioactive source with a fluorescent green appearance.<\/p>\n<p>Radiopharmaceuticals called tracers incorporate a radioactive nucleus into their formulation. The tracer's radiation enables it to be traced within the body, without disturbing its physical, chemical or biological behavior. Tracers are chosen for their ability to track metabolism or help diagnose organ function. These are elements that emit mainly gamma rays, a type of radiation that radiates very little and is penetrating enough to leave the body to be detected.<\/p>\n<p>The accident scenario for the Fukushima power plant is that of a first loss of power supplies following the earthquake, followed in a second step by a loss of the heat sink and the internal emergency power supplies at the aftermath of the tsunami. Without the possibility of cooling, the reactor cores and the spent fuel assemblies stored in the pools undergo a significant increase in temperature until they exceed critical values. The depressurizations then undertaken to limit the pressure in the installation led to the first releases of radioactive products into the environment. Fires followed by explosions will release massive quantities of gaseous radioactive effluents which will be followed by large masses of liquid radioactive effluents following the water releases undertaken by the operator in an attempt to cool the installation.<\/p>\n<p>Ahead of the performances of <em>Kein Licht<\/em>.<\/p>\n\u201cThe \u201cpre-shows\u201d which precede the moment of music constitute a particular space-time where the public is just as inhabited by desire and expectation as by questions to be asked.

Trying to put themselves back together, these characters talk about pain, loss and tragedy, sometimes with a touch of humor. Not quite an opera, nor a singspiel (German comic opera), <em>Kein Licht<\/em> is a &quot;thinkspiel&quot;, that is to say a game with thought. This musical show aims to make us reflect on the huge issues of our news. \u00bb<\/p>\n\u201cExtreme climatic event, nuclear accident, contemporary techno-dependence, rise of populism, etc., the themes addressed by <em>Kein Licht<\/em> are at first glance explosive or at the very least dramatic, in the sense of dr\u00e2ma borrowed from the ancient Greek \u03b4\u03c1\u1fb6\u03bc\u03b1 designating theatrical action; on the stage, then, the drama of a technology pushed to the extreme and whose chain reactions seem to escape all human control until it develops a form of autonomy. Beyond Philippe Manoury&#039;s long-standing questions about interpretative randomness and real time, the music of <em>Kein Licht<\/em> thus questions this time the indeterminate, with a music that has itself become a stochastic process, of a type that probabilists call \u201cMarkov chain\u201d and whose random transitions mirror atomic and particle shocks in a reactor.<br \/>\nKarine LeBail","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>TRAFIC 3.0 2017 Cement, wood, Plexiglas, microfluidic system, syringe pumps, radioactive fluid, Geiger counter Scientific Advisor Patrick Tabeling and Fabrice Monti, MMS laboratory, ESPCI.
