OT OT OT Re: the nuclear incident in Japan... That incident was inexcusable. I have no involvement with these materials and still had to go through basic criticality training because I designed some systems that are used by people who interact with people who worked with a little of the stuff. In the US, if you can SEE in the distance a facility where this kind of work is done, you have to know about this issue and how to prevent this type of error. No chances are or should be taken that someone would accidently make this kind of a mistake. If the story in this mornings NY Times is correct, the Japanese were violating the most basic, elementary rules regarding the handling of such material. It is beyond incredible that the only reason this hasn't happened in Japan before is that the guy pouring knew when to stop. In the US you have to write a thick book about the room, the shape of the floor, the shapes of any containers that could ever have any contact with the material, and all handling procedures. There must be redundant physical barriers to maintain separation at safe distances so as to prevent aggregation of a critical mass. Everything gets multiple reviews. It took mankind thousands of years to get to the point where we could induce nuclear chain reactions - it's hard to do! Dan
