Radioactive Waste 223 - The Los Alamos National Laboratory
I have blogged several times about the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant in New Mexico. This plant takes waste from the U.S. nuclear weapons programs and it was temporarily shut down a few years ago by a serious accident involving waste shipped from the Los Alamos National Laboratories. The WIPP does not take liquid waste and the LANL adds an absorbent material to barrels of liquid waste to solidify the liquid.

Nuclear Weapons 274 - The Devastation of Nuclear War
I have blogged about the destruction that would be caused by a nuclear war before. Since there is currently grave concern that a nuclear conflict could break out between North Korea on one side and South Korea and the United States on the other side, I thought that I would revisit the subject.
