Hmm, let me look out the window here. Oh, yeah..I see it! Sheesh. They only just started back up again a few weeks ago. That plant is down more than it's up. Why is it that knowing I have those little pills in those little bottles still doesn't give me much comfort?

Whoa kritter, hope you remain safe.

You and Me both, Spider! :-) But you know, the RAD is our friend. I got a nice comic book (literally) from the good folks at Oyster Creek when I first moved here. RAD is a cute little fellow, smiling and all. He would never harm me. He's perfectly safe. Looks a bit like Pac-Man too.

Wasn't Pacman's job to run around eating everyone in sight as fast as he could? Tell you what - I have a friend over in SE AZ that'll trade you a gunpowder, primacord, blasting cap factory with over 200k tons of ammonium nitrate laying around, not to mention their olympic sized arsenic swimming pools, for your nuke.

I think I hit almost all the Echelon buzz words.

Where is this plant located - and do you know the reason for the shutdowns?
