Nah, the Airforce had some small nuke plants in the 1950's, one spilled here in Alaska back then and was covered with lots of concrete, but on a whole, it was small scale.

Yea, funny huh?!

Actually though, in the Nuclear Power world, the Red button SCRAMS (shuts down) the Reactor.

Its the red button in the Missile Technician's world you have to worry about!

The Army's test reactor, SL-1 in Idaho, blew up in 1961. A maintenance worker standing on top of the reactor vessel pulled a control rod out a couple of inches to reconnect it with the drive mechanism, but the reactor went prompt critical. The resulting steam explosion shot the control rod out of the reactor, impaling the technician to the roof of the containment building, killing him instantly. The coroner had to wear a lead x-ray vest to do the autopsy.

Decided to post another recipe, perhaps one of the easiest, plus healthy.

Boneless and skinless chicken, as much as you desire. However, the same recipe can be use with any chicken you want. I just prefer the one with less fat, although the fast one probably tastes better

Ingredients:

-Chicken pieces, or a whole chicken (cleaned, and ready to cook)
-The best home-made Italian dressing you want to use (as long as it has extra virgin live oil)
-Extra virgin olive oil
-2 dried bay leaves, whole
-Mrs. Dash or any other spice you want

Pour-in and spread a little olive oil in a baking pan, place the chicken pieces in the pan, and then pour plenty of Italian dressing over the top. Follow it with Mrs. Dash plus any other spice you want to use. Place the two bay leaves away from each other somewhere between the pieces of chicken, and cover the pan with aluminum foil. Bake at 350 degrees for about 45 minutes (or longer) to make sure that the chicken pieces steam in their own juices, and then uncover the pan and bake for a little color.

If the pieces are large, use a thermometer for an internal temperature of 15-minutes of 165 degrees F.

Serve with a nice glass of orange juice.
