At the end, we'll all be glowing like ghosts.

please remember, too, every “prepper” trying to get to their hideaway, AND, every human who sad on video that they would come for your stuff.
Unless they are a ‘Bert Gummer’, as in ‘Tremors’ there’s gonna be a lot of dead bodies in the woods.

Priorities.

And I’m worried about the climate why??

Because a massive nuclear attack on our missile fields would speed up global warming and upset delicate environmental habitats of the Nurovian leaping lemur.

Just a blast at Hanford nuclear site would send millions of tons of plutonium waste into the atmosphere.

Recheck your math, Madam Curie.

Besides the millions of tons of solid waste, hundreds of billions of gallons of liquid waste were generated during the plutonium production days. These liquid wastes were disposed of by pouring them onto the ground or into trenches or holding ponds. Unintentional spills of liquids also took place. Liquid wastes generated during the process of extracting plutonium from the uranium fuel rods were put into underground storage tanks. Just like with the solid wastes, while some records accurately describe the kinds of liquid wastes that were generated and where they went, some of the spills and the volume of the spills went undocumented.

This from the DOE clean up site.

“Tons of waste” .ne. “tons of plutonium”.

Thanks for the clarification. 🙂
