I know how much I look forward to stuff coming in for repair labeled as "clean" and we put it into the kiln for "annealing" (not really) and all sorts of fumes form on the roof of the kiln and surrounds.
Makes me want to be a glass blower!;) :p
Nuclear phisicists can blow me.......I know what they're into!:eek: :eek:
On that note.....most scientists can blow balloons.....I'm not interested.;) :p :p :twisted: :twisted: :twisted:
Another train delayed just now owing to a youth throwing seats off the train here on the platform right outside my box.
Now awaiting police.

Prolly doin "Run Ups" while it's stationary.....never know....maybe a window down whole car!;) :p :p
Can't call your night slow then Ron?
Shorty.
The train's gone - but it's more likely the freighter I've had stuck in the refuge has been hit.
The cops are here. Friday and Saturday nights are bad. So was Thursday night

Moose the mining of uranium ore produces Radon gas which is radioactive and is released into the air when mined, also when crushed for treatment and then there is the radioactive tailings from the processing to yellow cake and more Co2 produced when they turn the yellow cake into uranium oxide by using fossil fuels to heat it, which is all produced here in Australia and then there is the enormous mileages by trucks to deliver to ports for shipment overseas, more co2 from the ship, then it has to be enriched, more co2, the way some of you advocates are talking this uranium fuel magically turns up at the reactor with no cost to the environment. I worked at Mary Kathleen Uranium mine and the amount of infrastucture to mine, transport, crush, process and transport is enormous, they have dismantled Mary K now, but if you go to Google Earth and have a look at the devastation caused by the mining and Tailings dam you will see the impact on the environment. it is about halfway between Cloncurry and Mt.Isa. If you look at the other uranium mines you will see the enormous tailings dams with there radioactive waste, you will notice they are also in the middle of nowhere, so transport rears it's head again.Quote:

Moose did you check them all out or did you just Copy and Paste, Regards Frank.Quote:

Tank, we had family friends worked at Mary K, Von Doussa. gone now. My old man worked in mining supplying NASA and the Aerospace industry. Ores for rocket bodies, for the Moon shots, etc. He died at 60.
Former Governor of SA. Sir Mark Oliphant was one of the physicists who put the bombs together, won the Nobel Peace Prize. In the Navy in the Early 70's, NBCD (Nuclear Biological and Chemical Defence) was taught in the Oliphant Building.
All of my instructors where actually at Maralinga and Montebello during the tests. All gone. All died, mostly before 60, some as young as 50. Yeah, it makes a big mess in so many ways. During the 50's, the French were testing in North Africa. Underground tests, a bomb got stuck half way down. They couldn't get it up or down, so they poured concrete in the hole and blew it anyway. Almost 1,000 people, boffins, foriegn legion guards, the lot, and half of the Jebel Mountains just blown away. Still hot today. During the 60's, the yanks lost a nuclear sub, somewhere near the Bermuda Triangle, never have found it. During the 80's or early 90's the US Navy did a fleet audit. They came up 1 Nuclear capable 4,000 ton destroyer short in the stocktake.
You tell me, where we can be safe, and free to eat burned dead animals, drink beer, and wake up unwell the next day, and I'll meet you there with my big esky.
Shorty.
