It is evident that when molecular or atomic activity increases, the electromagnetic radiation from that source also increases in frequency, The higher the frequency the greater the energy content.

What is the total electromagnetic frequency content of all the fission elements in all the nuclear reactors on this planet, and how is that energy dissipated or expelled from the planet?

ARRhELL’s approximations take into consideration only a small portion of the thermal energy, the total energy (alpha, beta, gamma) content is much higher.
