Now, if only we could attach lasers to them.

Did you read the address at the end of the article?

Hint: there are no nuclear plants on the Shenendoah River.   The closest in is on Lake Anna.

Don't swim near nuclear plants,
you might mutate into Aquaman.

I remember as a teenager swimming downstream from the Peach Bottom Nuke plant. Water was always warm :)
If it looks like chicken, tastes like chicken, and feels like chicken but Chuck Norris says its beef, then it's beef.

If women had apostrophes instead of periods they would be even more possessive!

Is that how you get a 'peach bottom'? I had a 'fuzzy navel' once at a bar. I only ordered it hoping the bar-maid would show me hers.  ^-^

Probably. At least that is what I tell my wife! :)

Thank god I'm not 15 years younger. I would have been swimming when the operators were sleeping on the job or having rubber band fights in the control room! I wonder what 'mildly' radioactive water does to you?

'In 1987, PECO was ordered by the Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) to indefinitely shutdown Peach Bottom-2 and -3 on March 31 due to operator misconduct, corporate malfeasance and blatant disregard for the health and safety of the area. Infamously, operators were found sleeping on the job, playing video games, engaging in rubber band and paper ball fights, and reading unauthorized material.

Among the incidents cited by the NRC: security guards were overworked, one guard was found asleep on the job, 36,000 gallons of "mildly radioactive water" leaked into the Susquehanna River, PECO mislaid data on radioactive waste classification causing misclassification of a waste shipment, and a major fire occurred in the maintenance cage of the Unit 3 turbine building on March 4, 1987.'

But they'll be able to find your body on a mildly dark night.
