no nukes, no nukes... idiots

yeah, we are reaping the harvest of years of anti-nuclear sentiment here in the US. hope you don't get lung or bone cancer, or have heart damage that needs imaging anytime in the near future...
check out this article in the Foreign Policy magazine.
yeah, there are ways to step up the production, but i know about the missouri reactor that is mentioned in this article, and if they become the primary source of medical isotopes, we will again be hanging our hats on a single hook.
might be good for me though. anyone have a spare $350 million?

Nuclear funnies, and a Nuke Christmas song for all

ok, this probably isn't funny unless you are or have been a nuke. but here's a little video put out by one of the reactor safety offices that shows both a sense of humor and exhibits a clever way to get an idea across. Ways to Save a Millirem. this is currently winding its way around the nuke world. we aren't a power plant, but their work area looks pretty similar to ours. funny stuff.

And for all of you that haven't had enough Christmas songs pounded into your brain, here's a little song for you that just kills me. probably because i'm a nerd.
Working at a Nuclear Power Plant

and for you diehard nukes out there that just can't get enough music related to the nuclear field, check out this link. there are a whole bunch of "nuke" and radiation themed songs, some parodies, most real.

i know, but hey, i've been a nuke my entire adult life. what can i say?
