    Does that mean that as long as we are anxious about it, the nuclear threat will be contained?

    Oh, that containment vessel blew out a long time ago.

    Like the average Joe has any choice in the matter.

    R. Lee Ermy is worried about nuclear power?

    Or a five hundred thousand year half life if you’re talking about plutonium.

    Radish, your comment is a bit of an exageration. The half-life of plutonium is only 26,000 years. A mere blink of the eye in geologic terms.

    Yeah - but that’s for half of what you start with to decay - and then another 26K years for half of that, and another…

    Even something with a ten-year half-life can be around for a long time…

    Maybe the five hundred thousand years was the total life of plutonium or maybe it was the life of the ‘depleted’ U238 we used as weapons in Iraq. My info is getting overloaded and mixed up a little. Can one atom of plutonium caught in the lungs cause lung cancer?
