The Nuclear Chronicles

Mr. McDonald, your country needs to use your ranch and livestock. I cannot disclose more on the matter. The premises will be returned to you and your family once it is no longer needed. This “request” is urgent and necessary for the well-being of the American public. You are a Patriot, aren’t you?

You can’t tell me anymore than that?! I know what “request” means. As long as the land is returned to us, we are happy to help in the fight for Democracy.

What in the hell do they want OUR land for? We’re out in the middle of nowhere. Don’t they have enough land around here for whatever they are doing?

An on-site quarry and concrete plant is constructed by the government to facilitate the deployment of a concrete capping remediation surface at the ranch.

It’s on... They’re talking about that absurd project using the nuclear bomb to access more water. How did that get approved?!

You, the American public, should have no apprehension in the matters of this project. We are fully confident that the work will go smoothly and be a success. This is a moment to celebrate, not worry! We are using the power of the Nuclear Bomb to solve an environmental resource crisis.

The final process is initiated. The bomb is lowered to it’s sub-grade housing awaiting detonation.

Upon completion of the new infrastructure to warrant the success of the Greenland outpost, the group of engineers headed back to the United States. Years later, traversing through the familiar Carryall route to the next assignment, they notice some small additions to the project. They reach their assigned destination, a barren plot of land to be used as a repository for nuclear waste. In close proximity to the Nevada Test Site, Yucca Mountain is posed to be excavated creating a tunnel spatial configuration for the storage of nuclear materials. In actuality, the project is completed with some hesitation due to the characteristics of the mountain’s geology. The site, composed of volcanic tuff, is seismically and volcanically active. This geology is porous, making it problematic as a barrier for containing nuclear waste. The repository is situated above an aquifer that interacts with the Amargosa Valley, which is a pivotal agricultural territory for the state of Nevada. The project persists through the obstacles and welcomes shipments of nuclear waste that will be stratified within and alter the geology of the mountain.

This place isn’t half bad! Breakfast?
