It's radioactive!

In a week I get to go to an uranium enrichment plant, American Centrifuge in Piketon, Ohio. Assuming that I pass the security clearance that is. As you might guess, enriching uranium takes a lot of electricity. There are a couple of dedicated stations located on the property which have some transformers that we would like to remove and dispose. It's been a bit of an ordeal since they have some lengthy process to make sure that they aren't radioactive first.

While poking around on the USEC website, I was intrigued by the megatons to megawats link. Check it out and see what's coming out of the decommissioning of the USSR warheads.
