Not actually from Mars, but from my kitchen. Oddly enough, this is the original photo - I simply dipped the spider into a jar of weapon-grade plutonium we found behind the baking powder in one of the kitchen cupboards et voilà! NB: no spiders were harmed in the creation of this photo.
With no low cloud forecast on most of the apps I use I had an early start yesterday and headed for Talacre. The storm to the left is out over the wind farm in Liverpool Bay.
After several days of being questioned like you were about to dump some illegally imported weapons grade plutonium at the local recycling centre I had a pleasant hour alone on the beach before cracking on with the creosoting. What joyous fun that job is!
The song is from Air and is called All I Need and it's what I was listening to at the time.
Lyrics and band name both seemed apt to me.
This is my last shot of Rivière-du-Loup and its amazing sunsets that I could manage this evening before the light dropped and handheld at the ISO I wanted was not possible, my first time stopping after many years of passing by but definitely not my last.
Rivière-du-Loup holds the solitary distinction of being the only area in Canada to my knowledge that has had a nuclear bomb dropped on it though I don’t think hardly anyone noticed at the time until the government vehicles started showing up.
At the start of the cold war in the 1950’s Canada stored several US Mark 4 nuclear bombs at the Goose Bay air force base and the US was transiting one them back to the US when the B-50 that was carrying it had engine trouble and jettisoned the bomb over the St Lawrence at 10,500 feet with a destruct sequence at 2500 feet.
US protocols of the day said that if a plane had engine trouble any nuclear payload was to be jettisoned and destructed in the atmosphere thankfully they also has a protocol where the plutonium trigger was always shipped in separate conveyance when transiting the bomb.
The incident was covered up at the time and explained away as a large 500lb conventional bomb test and the St Lawrence was deposited with over 100lbs of uranium-238, it wasn’t until the 1980’s that the Canadian government admitted there was a nuclear incident

A grimy 66147 waits to depart from within the Workington Docks complex with 6C48, a train for Carlisle.
The train conveyed a combination of china clay slurry tanks and (out of sight), a long line of containers. In 2021, china clay slurry continues to be railed into Workington Docks from Aberdeen for use at Holmen Iggesund’s nearby pulp and paperboard mill. However, this traffic is now hauled by Colas rather than DB, as was the case in 2010.
The ship captured here is also of interest: this was the UK-registered nuclear cargo vessel 'Atlantic Osprey', which was owned by the UK Nuclear Decommissioning Authority. The ship was used to transport used nuclear fuel, high-level waste and plutonium. Its presence here at Workington was related to the nearby nuclear facility at Sellafield. The ship was broken up in Swansea in 2014.

Pamukkale, which has been used as a spa since the second century BC, literally means “cotton castle” in Turkish.
The travertine features have their origins in the shifting of a fault in the valley of the Menderes river (between here and Denizli). As the fault shifted, very hot springs with a very high mineral content (notably chalk) arose at this location. Apart from the slightly radioactive minerals, the calcium and hydrogen carbonate react to create calcium carbonate (also known as travertine) and limestone. This is what gives Pamukkale its whiteness and created the pools. The Travertines of Pamukkale are a set of bizarre calcium cliff bathing pools overlooking the town of Pamukkale.
Many years ago, Greeks and Romans discovered the curative properties of the warm mineral springs that are found in Pamukkale. Predictably, these springs attracted droves of tourists to the place, but not only to seek therapeutic comforts. But also to see the magnificence of the hardened calcium bicarbonate cascading over the cliffs.
Known as the Cotton Cliffs, it is a famous and stunning calcium structure that earned a UNESCO World Heritage Site title in the 1970s.
World heritage site
Pamukkale is recognized as a World Heritage Site together with Hierapolis. Hierapolis-Pamukkale was made a World Heritage Site in 1988. It is a tourist attraction due to this status and its natural beauty.
The underground volcanic activity which causes the hot springs also forced carbon dioxide into a cave, which was called the Plutonium, which here means “place of the god Pluto”. This cave was used for religious purposes by priests of Cybele, who found ways to appear immune to the suffocating gas.
Protecting the thermal waters
The hotels built in the 1960s were demolished as they were draining the thermal waters into their swimming pools and caused damage to the terraces.The water supply to the hotels is restricted in an effort to preserve the overall site and to allow deposits to regenerate. Access to the terraces is not allowed and visitors are asked to follow the pathway.

Build for the Greeble De Mayo challenge clockwork category. Da Vinci made many inventions but his long lost drawings of a time machine are unknown to many. The drawings were discarded as a failed idea. But one young scientist (let’s call him Doc) discovered the drawings and build a prototype only to discover that it actually worked. Da Vinci’s time machine was missing an element unavailable to him at the time, plutonium. Doc flipped the switch for the first time and found a portal opening up to the Middle Ages. Doc simply thought he’d turn back the clocks but turned back time itself and was never seen again.
During the Manhattan Project, Plutonium containers were stored in Ashley Pond to keep them cool.

Juste jeter un œil,
Juste jeter un œil,
Sur ce monde grave,
Gravé des entraves,
Des libertés en deuil.
Vide à l’horizon,
Tel le cœur des hommes,
En bombe plutonium,
En vision de poison.
Là, juste encore debout,
Pour dénoncer ce monde,
Aux âmes moribondes,
Juste l’art au garde à vous.

Il me faut mes mains acharnées,
Pour tenir ma raison peinée,
Pour ne faire partie du troupeau.

Das Norwegische Industriearbeitermuseum ist ein Industriemuseum in Rjukan, Norwegen. Es befindet sich im Kraftwerk Vemork und wurde 1988 gegründet, um den Erhalt der Industriegesellschaft zu ermöglichen, die von Norsk Hydro geschaffen wurde, als sie sich 1907 in Rjukan niederließen.
Die Forschung und Ausstellungen des Museums umfassen die Geschichte der energieintensiven Industrie in Norwegen nach 1900; einschließlich Wasserkraft , elektrochemischer Industrie und der Prämisse für die Arbeiter. Insbesondere dem lokalen Erbe von Tinn und der norwegischen Schwerwassersabotage wird hohe Priorität eingeräumt.
In den Kriegsjahren 1942 bis 1945 wurde das südnorwegische Rjukan in der Provinz Telemark Schauplatz einer brisanten Auseinandersetzung. Dort befand sich seit 1934 im Chemie- und Wasserkraftwerk Vemork die einzige europäische Fabrik (Norsk Hydro), die durch ihren immensen Energieüberschuss schweres Wasser in nennenswerten Mengen herstellen konnte.
Ende der 1930er Jahre hatten Otto Hahn, Fritz Straßmann und Lise Meitner das Prinzip der nuklearen Kettenreaktion entdeckt, woraus sich nach dem Ausbruch des Zweiten Weltkriegs ein Wettlauf mit den Alliierten um die Kontrolle über die Fabrik entwickelte. Für das deutsche Uranprojekt war dabei die Verwendung von schwerem Wasser als Moderator eines Versuchsreaktors vorgesehen, mit dem unter anderem waffenfähiges Plutonium hätte hergestellt werden könnte.
Somit richtete sich das Augenmerk der Alliierten auf die Anlage in Rjukan, deren Ausschaltung die deutsche Nuklearforschung auf einen Schlag neutralisieren konnte: Nach mehreren Rückschlägen wurde am 27. Februar 1943 von zwölf norwegischen Widerstandskämpfern (unterstützt durch das Special-Operations-Executive), die sich auf der Hochebene von Hardangervidda versteckt gehalten hatten, die Sprengung an der Hochkonzentrieranlage für schweres Wasser der Norsk Hydro Werke durchgeführt. Bereits wenige Wochen später war der entstandene Schaden jedoch behoben, und die deutschen Besatzer ließen die Produktion verstärkt wieder anlaufen. Die norwegisch-französische Koproduktion Kampf ums schwere Wasser (Kampen om tungtvannet, 1948), der britische Spielfilm Kennwort „Schweres Wasser“ (The Heroes of Telemark, 1965) sowie die norwegisch-dänisch-britische Fernsehminiserie Saboteure im Eis – Operation Schweres Wasser (Kampen om tungtvannet, 2015) handeln von diesen Begebenheiten.
Es folgten mehrere alliierte Bombenangriffe auf das Kraftwerk und die wiederaufgebaute Anlage, bis sich die deutschen Besatzer entschlossen, die Fabrik aufzugeben und 50 Fässer bereits produzierten schweren Wassers mitzunehmen. Die Konzentration des Deuteriumoxids schwankte zwischen 1 % und 99 %, sie wurde durch eine zweistellige Nummer auf den Fässern gekennzeichnet, die für Außenstehende keinen Rückschluss auf die Konzentration zuließ.
Die Eisenbahnfähre der Rjukanbanen namens Hydro, beladen mit schwerem Wasser, wurde am 20. Februar 1944 durch einen Sprengsatz im Maschinenraum sabotiert. Die Fähre sank binnen weniger Minuten auf dem 460 Meter tiefen Tinnsjø (norwegisch für ‚See bei Tinn‘). Fässer mit stark konzentriertem Inhalt, die nur teilweise befüllt waren, trieben nach dem Untergang an der Wasseroberfläche. Sie wurden von den Deutschen geborgen und drei Wochen nach der Versenkung nach Deutschland versandt und später im Forschungsreaktor Haigerloch verwendet. Beim Untergang der Fähre kamen vier deutsche Soldaten und 14 Zivilisten ums Leben.
Der Unterwasserarchäologe Brett Phaneuf erhielt mit einem norwegisch-amerikanischen Forscherteam 60 Jahre nach Untergang der Hydro die Genehmigung zu einer Tauchfahrt zur Hydro, jedoch mit der Auflage, nur genau ein Fass zu heben, da das Wrack offiziell als Kriegsgrab gilt.
Das sehr gut erhaltene Fass Nr. 26 ließ sich nach der Bergung mühelos öffnen, da der Dichtungsgummiring des Spundlochs nach über 60 Jahren noch intakt war. Laut der geheimen Ladeliste von 1944 sollte das Fass ein Destillat von 1,64 % schwerem Wasser enthalten. Tatsächlich ergaben Untersuchungen an Bord sowie später in London einen annähernd hohen Anreicherungsgrad von 1,1 % ± 0,2.

The Norwegian Industrial Workers' Museum is an industrial museum in Rjukan, Norway. Located at Vemork Power Plant, it was established in 1988 to enable the preservation of the industrial society created by Norsk Hydro when they settled in Rjukan in 1907.
The museum's research and exhibitions include the history of energy-intensive industry in Norway after 1900; including hydroelectric power, electrochemical industry and the premise for the workers. In particular, the local heritage of Tinn and Norwegian heavy water sabotage is given high priority.
During the war years 1942 to 1945, Rjukan in the province of Telemark in southern Norway became the scene of an explosive conflict. Since 1934, the only European factory (Norsk Hydro) was located in the chemical and hydroelectric power station Vemork, which was able to produce heavy water in significant quantities due to its immense energy surplus.
At the end of the 1930s, Otto Hahn, Fritz Straßmann and Lise Meitner had discovered the principle of the nuclear chain reaction, which led to a race with the Allies for control of the factory after the outbreak of World War II. For the German uranium project, the use of heavy water as a moderator of an experimental reactor was intended, with which, among other things, weapons-grade plutonium could have been produced.
The Allies' attention was thus directed to the Rjukan plant, the elimination of which could neutralize German nuclear research in one fell swoop: After several setbacks, on February 27, 1943, twelve Norwegian resistance fighters (supported by the Special Operations Executive) who hidden on the Hardangervidda plateau, carried out the demolition at Norsk Hydro Works' heavy water high-concentration plant. However, the damage was repaired just a few weeks later and the German occupying forces restarted production. The Norwegian-French co-production The Battle for Heavy Water (Kampen om tungtvannet, 1948), the British feature film The Heroes of Telemark (1965) and the Norwegian-Danish-British TV miniseries Operation Heavy Water (Kampen om tungtvannet, 2015) deal with these events.
Several Allied bombing raids on the power plant and the rebuilt plant followed, until the German occupiers decided to abandon the factory and take 50 barrels of heavy water that had already been produced with them. The concentration of deuterium oxide varied between 1% and 99%, it was identified by a two-digit number on the barrels, which did not allow outsiders to draw any conclusions about the concentration.
The Rjukanbanen railway ferry called Hydro, loaded with heavy water, was sabotaged by an explosive device in the engine room on February 20, 1944. The ferry sank within a few minutes on the 460 meter deep Tinnsjø (Norwegian for 'lake near Tinn'). Barrels with highly concentrated contents, which were only partially filled, floated on the water's surface after sinking. They were salvaged by the Germans and shipped to Germany three weeks after the sinking and later used in the Haigerloch research reactor. When the ferry sank, four German soldiers and 14 civilians died.
Underwater archaeologist Brett Phaneuf and a Norwegian-American research team received permission to dive to the Hydro 60 years after the sinking of the Hydro, but with the condition that they only lift one barrel, as the wreck is officially considered a war grave.
Barrel No. 26, which is in very good condition, was easy to open after it was salvaged, as the rubber seal of the bunghole was still intact after more than 60 years. According to the 1944 secret loading list, the cask was to contain a distillate of 1.64% heavy water. In fact, investigations on board and later in London revealed an almost high degree of enrichment of 1.1% ±0.2.

No, not more updates. Or any new characters. :P What these guys are are the "beta" versions of some of my first (Solstice was my first hero, Plutonium my first villain) LoH characters. Plus one villain that never made it out of the WIP stage- Gasser.
Updated my original OC with part from the 2018 KN sets. Which I think proves a theory originated by Hammerstein NWC, that adding any Nexo Knights pieces to a minifig doubles it's awesomeness.
Rover vehicles have proved crucial to the Mars Ares missions since the late 2020s. Ares 7 introduces a new, larger and more capable rover allowing remote missions of several sols' duration.
The rover includes double airlocks reducing cabin contamination, a mobile analysis bay and crew hygiene facilities. Powered by a plutonium RTG and solar array, the Ares 7 Rover extends NASA's reach across the Red Planet.
MODEL NOTES
The rover (started during Febrovery but finished a little late!) is inspired by Mark Watney's rover in Ridley Scott's 2015 film 'The Martian'. The vehicle is powered by 2 PF motors including twin-axle steering and full independent suspension, and has a fully detailed interior. More shots to follow...

I can't remember if this is an array of lights near the Kimberley Clark factory at Northfleet, adjoining Gravesend, or the multiple reverse thrust microwave motors with added enhancements and dangly wires of local entrepenooor Enoch Musch, who was first to launch a Mission To Mars that may, or may not, have left the ground some years passed, secretly, and be well on the way, already. They had adequate supplies of long life sweeties * and stuff, also good quantities of Andrex, which they obtained at special prices from the nearby factory, see above.
This is all the truth, Mr Musch says so.

Every man, woman and child, including the dearly departed, were evicted, never to live here again.
Just a few vestiges of their lives remain. A once-thriving bank, standing as a desolate bulwark in the wind. A cookhouse painstakingly constructed of river rock. Hints of where a ferry landed. An abandoned school, once the heart and soul of a community.
That’s just about all that was left when 1,500 people were ordered by the federal government to pack up their belongings including livestock, vehicles and furniture, and leave.
In 48 hours.
Three town sites about 70 miles from Yakima — White Bluffs, Hanford and North Richland — were wiped from the land practically overnight to make way for the Manhattan Project on the edge of what is now the Tri-Cities.
The project, conducted in ultra-secrecy on the Hanford Site starting in 1943, marked both a beginning and an end. It’s where plutonium was produced for the first nuclear bomb, which ended World War II, simultaneously ushering in the nuclear age.
In revisiting my photos from the National Museum of Atomic Science and History, I found this "gem." This would have been from just before the "duck and cover" drills in schools to hide from a nuclear blast under one's desk.
Very interesting discussion of the current placement of the beginning of the "anthropocene" with the appearance of plutonium in lake bed sediments.
Navré pour nos amis anglophones qui ne doivent pas trouver ce titre à leur goût...
Mais au vu de cette trottinette massive, aux faux airs percherons, force est de se demander : à quoi tourne-t-elle ? Au plutonium enrichi ?

-By X-Day, seven more “Fat Man,” type plutonium-core atomic bombs are perfected by teams of nuclear physicists in San Francisco, ready, and have been transported to Yontan Airfield on Okinawa. Three days following the initial amphibious invasion and the failure of the airborne invasion, President Truman and Colonel Lyle E. Seeman order the use of four bombs, nicknamed “King, Chicago, Tokyo with Love", and "Overlord,” to be dropped on the Japanese home islands with primary targets including Osaka and Tokyo. On February 16th, the missions are completed and the bombs are all detonated successfully. With the effects of radiation poisoning not well known at the time, many American soldiers of the 6th Army pushing north to Tokyo are killed or put out of action as a result.
-Japanese merchant sailors are used to ship disguised munitions and supplies to the last dregs of Imperial soldiers fighting in Manchuria. Many are sunk by a dense Soviet and Chinese blockade across the Western coast of the Sea of Japan.
-Despite the harsh weather, Soviet forces engage in intense and fierce combat against the outnumbered but determined Japanese in Manchuria and northern China. Equipped with T-34 and KV tanks, the tiny and obsolete Japanese tankettes are all but wiped out within two weeks. A lack of supplies force many Japanese soldiers to fight with knives and blunt objects, and whole Japanese columns are mowed down by heavily fortified Soviet lines. The combat in Manchuria is reminiscent of the futile and bloody charges across no man’s land on the Western Front of the Great War. Russian soldiers strip dead Japanese bodies, and by the time of their arrival in Harbin, the distinctive uniforms are unrecognizable beneath fur coats, hats, and jewelry.
Rattlesnake Mtn, in eastern Washington state, is the highest treeless elevation in the state (1,060m). It overlooks the Hanford Site to the north, where the US Govt manufactured plutonium for its Cold War effort. As a result, one of several Nike Ajax nuclear missile bases and anti-aircraft gun emplacements were located on the mountain.
Rattlesnake Mountain was formed by a series a east-west thrust faults caused by north-south compression, currently at an average rate of about 3 mm/year. During the latest Ice Age (100,000-10,000- years before present), the basin to the north and east of Rattlesnake Mountain was the site of Lake Lewis, a lake formed by repeated, catastrophic flooding caused by glaciers to the north. It was one of several temporary islands. The repeated filling and draining of the lake caused bank instability and erosion, thought to be the cause of the massive landslide in the left half of the image above.

In the distance on the hill are the remains of Mound Laboratories. A division of the Manhattan Project, Mound Labs manufactured components for nuclear weapons during the Post WWII-early Cold War era, as well as disassembling radioactive bomb components. The lab was declared a Superfund cleaned up site by the federal government in 1989. Work began in 1997, and took 15 years to clean up the Plutonium-238 saturated soil. Today, it's now an office park.

The Hanford Reservation is in Eastern Washington and is situated in arid sage brush steppe on the banks of the Columbia River. It is currently owned by the US Dept. of Energy and has a Cold-War legacy of plutonium weapons production.

Today's story and sketch "by me", Pat and I are guest judges for the Grumpas three day Halloween festival here in the sunny Mojave Valley, I started on a walk early this morning because today's temperature has already reached the one hundred forty degree range, but it is a dry heat for October. Tonight is the big night every one has been excited about, the best scary costumes, and the midnight pumpkin moon pie cooking competition, Pat and I will be judging both. As I am walking through the haunted pumpkin patch I just spotted two of what will surely be two of tonight's favorite costumes, above I recognize Rescue Randy the most interesting living tissue crash test dummy in the Galaxy wearing a Beaked Beast costume riding an experimental intergalactic dimension jumping plutonium broom, and in the lower right I recognize Reha Grumpases wife, Ritta in a sexy Grumpas High Priestess outfit talking to one of the Grumpas children who was practicing driving her dad's fifty Chevy pick up, she just parked, not actually parked but stopped when she hit the spirit tree. Until next time taa ta the Rod Blog
Turns out she does not fit into the box.
Probably just as well. Have you ever tried to buy Cyanide and Plutonium on Ebay?
When I joined, I never would have thought I'd gain as much of a following as I have in these 3 years. I'm so thankful for it and I'm grateful for everyone who continues to face and comment on my stuff. I'm grateful for all the friends I've made and the new experiences and interests that I've gained through being a part of this website.
Over the years, a lot has changed. So many people have come and gone, and it honestly hurts seeing so many of the people I enjoyed not being here anymore. The Lego community has died down from a real involved community that does fun events and team projects or challenges, to something where we just kind of post and hope for some comments. I dont know if there's any way to change that, to be honest. I'd like to think so, but it just hasnt happened. That is not to say I dont like this community anymore, but I definitely have lost a good bit of interest since I first joined. That's really all I can say about that.
I'd like to take a little time to thank some specific people that I've become really close with over these years. We used to do this a lot for our flickrversaries, so I wanted to bring it back.
BrickTailor- Scott, I have no idea how we hit it off so randomly, but I'm glad we did. You're so much like me, but so different at the same time, and I like that a lot about you. XD I'm glad we've gotten to know each other so well and stay in contact on a pretty regular basis. I'd love to meet you one day dude.
Multi-Sharp- Jon, you're super chill and I love the vibe you give with your personality. When I first met you I wasnt too fond of you, but when I got to know you I realized I was just misunderstanding what you had been trying to say and that you just wanted to be friends. I'm glad we talk and that I get to know you.
Giftbaby04- Gretchen, you're hilarious and wholesome and I love being your friend. XD I love your art and your morals and how good of a friend you try to be to everyone. Keep being yourself, cuz you're great.
Grayish.Plutonium- Tanz, you're a cool little bean who never fails to surprise me with your randomness. XD I really enjoy talking to you and getting to be your friend.
Please don't be upset if I left you out, these are just a couple of the people I felt I should point out specifically. I appreciate you all, and I thank you for supporting my content. Thank you also if you read all this, because it means a lot. That's all for now. Stay frosty, bros and broditas!

Hierapolis is an ancient Greco-Roman city and UNESCO World Heritage site in Turkey's Denizli Province. Founded in the 2nd century BC on thermal springs, it became a renowned health resort and religious center. The city's ruins include well-preserved temples, theaters, baths, and a vast necropolis with elaborate tombs. The most striking feature is the immense white travertine terraces formed by the hot springs, creating stunning cascades and pools that visitors can bathe in. Hierapolis also boasts the Gate of Plutonium, a mysterious temple where toxic gases emitted from the ground were believed to connect the underworld with the mortal world. Today, it remains a popular tourist destination for its historical significance and natural wonders.
The plutonium core for the first atomic bomb blast was assembled in the McDonald Ranch House (on the right) the day before the first bomb was detonated.

and the better part of silence, science,
of not knowing-
where it all came from.
but stay inside the skin,
away from the approaching
nuclear winter and dead people,
made within the deepest darkness
of a normal mind. for it is the normal,
that is against all that is beyond
the grasp of reality.
we'll always be indebted
to our totality,
until the piper leads himself down the
rabbit hole.
but do share your thoughts,
stay humble, lost-

But I believe in the heart
We know electricity is important for the industry
But industry should not threat the future
Oh what is really happening ..
We reject the mind without heart
We reject technology without control
We do not want to sell cheap future
For the sake of electricity there will be many problems
We not anti-technology at all
But we believe in the heart
We know electricity is important to the Industry
But industry do not threaten our future
Oh what is really happening ..

From shame to children and grandchildren
We move to sing life
Information about this should be provided
The dangers of the developed world must be removed
Prestige does not need to be continued
PLTN (nuclear power plant)development please stop
Oh what is really happening ..
For electricity many require energy source
Your choice is certainly suspect
Because in developed countries nuclear reactors are kept secret
Not without reason the country is buying a reactor
We prefer solar power
We prefer geothermal power
We prefer wind power
We prefer the power of ocean currents
Adapted from the song "PROYEK 13" Iwan Fals 1991
#########################################
Project 13 is one of Iwan Fals's songs from Cikal's album released in 1991. According to Iwan Fals, Project 13 titles mean "unlucky project" because 13 (thirteen) are sometimes considered "unlucky" in Indonesia. As the "unlucky" phrase suggests, Iwan Fals describes a strong concern for Nuclear Power Plant (PLTN) in Project 13 song.
Project 13 is not a song that criticizes NPPs from a skill point of view. As it sung: "though lack of understanding about radiation", or "I do not know where the trash is", Iwan Fals himself admits that he does not really understand what a nuclear power plant is. However, using the lyrics of a song reminiscent of the Chernobyl tragedy in 1986, he warned the safety of a highly risky nuclear plant.
"All I know is that the effects of nuclear radiation will continue for a long time. NPP itself may be a good thing for human life, but the risk is too big, "said Iwan in an interview.
In Project 13 song, it does not mean Iwan Fals reject the technology, he even admits that electricity is the industry's need. However, by suggesting the existence of alternative energy such as solar power, geothermal power, ocean current power, and wind power, he urged to avoid such a big risk to the safety of nuclear power plants. The concerns described in Project 13 are addressed only to one thing, namely the safety of nuclear power plants.

In this region I was born. In the forests are still thousands of tons of uranium isotope uranium ie number U235. The mines are almost all closed. The miners out of work. Stalin loved our region. Czech uranium was suitable for the production of plutonium for the Russian atomic bomb. Nikita Khrushchev had it here too much. Therefore, even under communism there was wealth, but some miners expectancy does not exceed 35 years. I admit that the photos that information is not visible. It's an ordinary country.
V tomto kraji jsem se narodil. V lesích jsou ještě tisíce tun uranu tedy nuklidu uranu č. U235. Doly jsou skoro všechny uzavřeny. Funguje jen úpravna. Horníci bez práce. Stalin si náš kraj zamiloval. Český uran byl vhodný na výrobu plutonia pro ruské atomové bomby. NIkita Chruščov to zde měl taky rád. Proto zde i za komunismu bylo bohatství, ale dožití některých horníků nepřekročilo 35 let. Uznávám, že z fotky tyto informace nejsou vidět. Je to obyčejný moravský venkov.
