This is a photo of the model he built.  It shows a truck tipped on its side and

three small containers leaking that nasty stuff.



If that kid goes to Washington he will be very embarrassed when anyone familiar

with shipping containers comments on his model



The adults that are encouraging him to make a fool of himself in Washington could

be ruining the kid's life.



I think even norm knows that the model has no resemblance to the real method of

shipping spent fuel rods.
