100 'slightly contaminated' from French reactor

First of all, radioactive particles don't spew from a pipe like crow piss from a gutter, and secondly, "what the company called non-harmful traces of radioactive elements" is what the rest of us call an oxymoron.

Too much wine on the breaks.

Son, better learn you some physics before you go a postin'...

crows don't piss...

but i'm sure all you're lunatic left buddies will make a HUGE deal out of this...it's the ONLY thing the french do you idiots don't like, probably because it's the only thing they do that makes any sense...

Slightly contaminated? That's like being a little pregnant; can you say SPIN?

Leave it to them French to minimalize the obvious, maybe they'll have to bathe...

Non-harmful? That's a pretty relative term. Considering tissue damage by radiation is probabilistic, it only takes one free radical to cause cancer. It is possible to get cancer from one second exposure to 2*10^-6 uCi/ml Cobalt-60 equivalent at 300m, but not probable. Likewise, it is possible to not get cancer from eating a truckload of radioactive waste, but not probable.

I am for nuclear power, I've spent years of my life providing it, but this plant needs to be shut down - two nuclear incidents in a week would be a red flag in the US... I guess they're used to waving only one color flag: white.

Well, Something else French that surrenders under the slightest pressure.

..."slightly contaminated"...that's like Bush saying our economy is strong!

If the french can be this sloppy, can you imagine the indians who are buying theirs from the french?

Mamma mia!

UUMMM.... Wonder way I have an advertisement
for meeting muslim singles under a French topic.

OOOHHHH....the irony!!!!!

HAHA.... they should just advertise it..... BURKA"s are us. lol.

If it did, you'd have hundreds of Machinists' Mates taking over! A bored nuc is somewhat controllable, but a bored nuc with super powers is just NOT going to field-day.

Perhaps the term should be changed to non-harmful, since they are likely to get over it.

How do you mean? WRONG!

Incompetent writing I found in the article.
