Bad Plutonium again
Radsafers might find amusing the reference to plutonium in this
letter below. This is the beginning of a letter from some ardent
anti-nukes requesting cancellation of a subcritical test at the
Nevada Test Site. Info only. Eric Goldin
<goldinem@songs.sce.com>
Dear President Clinton,
I am writing to demand that you "DON'T BY HYPOCRITICAL! STOP THE
SUBCRITICAL!"
By this, I mean that you must immediately cancel the subcritical
nuclear weapons test code named "Bagpipe" which could be
detonated as early as next week (Sept 7 - 11) and all future
subcritical tests.
These tests explode plutonium, which is the most deadly material
ever created, 980 feet below the ground at the Nevada Test Site
dangerously close to the largest aquifer in Southern Nevada. This
precious groundwater has already been contaminated by past
nuclear tests. It is time to stop the contamination and begin the
clean up!
