oh, wots a few lost spent fuel rids? maybe they need to check underthe couch

[Guest guest]

For folks not familiar with the enfamous San Francisco or '06 earthquake,

one should note that San Francisco, although famous for the quake, was not

the worst hit spot. 4 hours north and exactly halfway between the borders

of Mexico and Canada on your maps, is Eureka. It suffered more damage, just

didn't have the fire.

 

Now, what does that have to do with fuel cells you might ask. Well, the

powers that be, in their infinite wisdom, decided that a nuclear power plant

should be built right smack dab on the fault line in Eureka. The plant was

decomissioned a few years ago because of the earthquake problems (they

publicly blamed it on something else, wouldn't want to start any hysteria,

now doncha know).

 

WELLLLLL, guess who can't find all their spent fuel cells!
