For years I thought Robert Kraft(owner of the Patriots NFL team) owned Gillette the razor company because the stadium in Foxborough, MA is named Gillette Stadium. Gillette’s headquarters is outside of Boston.

Robert Kraft owns the Kraft Group. Paper mills and other things.

That was Victor Kiam, the previous owner of the Patriots.

Kiam wanted to move the team to St. Louis. Instead the Rams moved there. I am not sure the NFL would have let them. It would have left all of New England without a team. We sure don;t want to root for the Jets or Big Blue.

“I wish them luck. Several decades ago the Army tried to develop small nuclear energy plants to supply its remote bases. That experiment didn’t work out well.”

BWXT is providing a micro reactor to Idaho National Lab via Project Pele.

“Sounds like a gay love triangle.”

Just because it is posted doesn’t make it true.

“The search crew thought it was a malfunction of the monitor so they proceeded to the reactor room.”

Nope. They retreated and got another monitor.

One was still alive, barely.

“The blame was attributed to a feud between two of the operators resulting in a murder suicide. “

This was deemed unlikely.

“The site was sealed in concrete and stories abound about what was done to the bodies of the victims.”

Vital components were removed for analysis and much were buried nearby.

Bodies were buried in a National Cemetary.

Small nukes nothing new. SEFOR,(Southwest Experimental Fast Oxide Reactor), south of Fayetteville AR was built in 1969. Later donated to the U of Arkansas it still set there doing nothing.

“it still set there doing nothing.”

It was dismantled and cleaned up via a federal grant.

What better way for SWEPCO to get rid of it? Foist it off on a University who then begs the US government to clean it up the mess.

“What better way for SWEPCO to get rid of it?”


SEFOR operated from 1969 to 1972, when the original program was completed as planned. It was privately operated by General Electric and funded by the United States government through the Southwest Atomic Energy Associates, a nonprofit consortium formed by 17 power companies of the Southwest Power Pool and European nuclear agencies.

SWEPCO (Southwestern Electric Power Company) always claimed it was their brain child. I worked for that company for 31 years and they claimed it as theirs till they “donated” it to the U of Arkansas.

One my stocks Enbridge “invests” in wind projects. I have to wonder if they are just doing it to look “green” but probably will never make money on it.
