Nuclear Shmooclear


Big hullabaloo in the news.

Bruce Nuclear in Ontario has 16 radioactive generators that need recycling.

The only place that does this kind of work (gotta admit, it's kind of specialized) is in Sweden, 1/2 a world away.

So lets load them on boats and send off to be reborn as glow in the dark Swiss watches, right?

Wrong, the Mayors of 70 some odd cities along the shipping route don't want them going past their towns.

Afraid of the danger.

The experts all say the amount of nuke is similar to a chest x-ray.

Well, are they offering solutions?

Nope.

How about loading them on trucks and driving them across the frozen tundra of the north next winter?

There could be a TV series: Ice Road Nukes.

Or maybe swarms of Pegasus's (Pegasii?) could carry them aloft to their final destination.

Oh, Oh! I got it!

Put the names of all the offended cities in a hat, draw out 16 names, and they get to store one each for perpetuity.

Bloody idiots.
