Nuclear Powered Space craft feared......did anyone
notice that the warning on shuttle debris and that the military folks were
monitoring objects for radioactivity and that the truck and trailer taking items
to the air base was placarded with RAM signs! The warning about toxics,
which were volatiles, appears to be misleading and that the real hazard was
radioactivity. Can anyone shed some light on just what was aboard the
shuttle that could possibly cause 1000's of fragments to be contaminated to such
a degree!

This is a littlle whimsical, but does
anyone remember Project Orion? Also, bet the people wringing their hands over
possible accidents do not realize how many nuclear weapons were crashed in the
"good ol'
days".
