If I was on the team sent to dismantle this reactor I would be cacking my dacks. Who knows what sort of shoddy workmanship this old reactor has hidden in its bowels.

I guess it does have to go, my issue is, well, I guess yr right, I was gonna say, nuke energy plants are manly safe based on two disasters in their history -- they're a good source of power but since this thing was designed for weapons I guess they can't re-rig it for energy?
