10. AH, AND THE ENDLESS AMOUNT OF NUCLEAR ENERGY TOO CHEAP TO METER

Yes, this is what I was told at the Enrico-Fermi Nuke back in the early 60's, they even showed us films of autos that were powered by just dropping an atomic pill into the tank once a year...and almost all bought up this crock (not me) then my best friend's father who was a technician at the nuke died in his 40s from cancer and Nader wrote the book, We Almost Lost Detroitabout this same fast breeder nuke that actually used liquid sodium to cool it (molten sodium burns when exposed to air) Yeah, lots of memories, but not warm fuzzy ones, no scary as hell ones...
