You really like wearing bandages on your hands then??
Nuclear waste includes just about all the structure at some stage surely. The radiation leads to rapid erosion of the material which then needs to be replaced and the glowing item 'stored' IIRC nuclear warheads needed rebuilding every few years for exactly this reason.
I really can't see fusion solving the waste issue if it ever works. I'll go with the flow that it will likely be a lot worse  _________________ Scarcity is the new black |

| Funny you should say that. After that particular incident I took to wearing a cycling glove to protect the afflicted hand...it really did make me look like some kind of Bond villain. Probably the one who's cornered the world market in Uranium... _________________ Soyez réaliste. Demandez l'impossible.

Oh yes remember it well. Saw it at the cinema with my then current girlfriend. She fainted.

It's always good to be honest about yourself. Quite early on in a relationship I went for a walk across a military base with my girlfriend and 200 policemen (a long story of bridleways and mixed-up dates).
25 years on we're still together -- although every now and again I have to remind her that she must have seen the early warning signs of what she was getting involved with  |

Not according to the USAF staff with guns who regularly tried to dissuade me from walking it (perhaps they don't have such quaint ideas of 'freedom' to walk in the US of A). |

Er, right. Not quite what I meant. Sorry about my poor attempt at a pun.  _________________ http://biffvernon.blogspot.co.uk/ |

No, it wasn't an "M16 wedding" -- such gadgets are not allowed in Quaker Meeting Houses.
I've got a Cruisewatch video of one of my guided walks across local American bases. Perhaps I should find it and convert the VHS to digital and preserve on YouTube for posterity. It's painful to watch though... those were the days!, when my hair went half-way down my back (these days it barely goes half-way cross my head ). |

Dunno how long You Tube will last. Couldn't you draw it out on vellum or embroider a tapestry? _________________ http://biffvernon.blogspot.co.uk/ |
