Who knows, it certainly could have been. There has been plenty of talk
of the US and Russia acting as nuclear fuel suppliers and reprocessors
to the world as a means to keep better control on the parts of the

The saddest part is that ways to store nuclear waste safely, are well

I went to a drug store today and picked the last two bottles of
potassium iodide, also known as colorless iodide from the scrapes and
cuts section.

I do not expect to need it, even if the plant does becomer a multiyear
disaster. However, I do not want to be a sucker and be without it,
should I be wrong and need it.

I already have only 1/3 of my thyroid left.
