But if the radiation is in the air, wouldn’t it get into the prewar metal as they melt it down again?

So we found a way to make something from steel that was in the ocean for 80 but we can’t solve the climate crisis

we can make low background steel now. its a process, and its more expensive than the average steel but it can be done now.

ghost roaster :
also fun fact
deep water metal ships determinate but wood dosent at the same depth
and vice versa
this is becouse there is a type of tiny lifeforms that eat metal and wood
but wood eaters are only found in higher water and metal ones are only found in deeper water
that's why the titanic is roting away while ships on beaches can last longer in seemingly fine state

Oh, you’re you’re talking about steel that’s before the carbon dating cut off that would be considered the present day

I was wondering, if the exposure to our Atmosphere as it melts down could contaminate the Ship Wreck Steel?
