the end is nigh

egghunter and I talked about cobalt bombs at the latest Club Cosmos pub night, and about radioactive isotopes of gold. Yes, it's all fun and laughs at those events! Lots of interesting things to read about doomsday devices, like this.

I'm organising the office library (again), and their is one book about mining, from the mid-1970s. Once when I was bored I looked through it, and there actually is a chapter on nuclear exccavation of mines and other structures. For realz! Operation Plowshare here we come!

And by a strange coincidence, now on SVT Kunskapskanalen: the Hiroshima bomb.
