Those muckrakers at the AP are at it again, reporting on prolific leaks of radioactive contamination from aging reactors.
"Radioactive tritium has leaked from three-quarters of U.S. commercial nuclear power sites, often into groundwater from corroded, buried piping...."
Here's an evocative quote, just ripe for any Mutant Lord wanting to set an adventure in a ruined reactor itself:
"Like rust under a car, corrosion has propagated for decades along the hard-to-reach, wet underbellies of the reactors...."

I saw this too. When the mutant cockroaches rise and half-bury the satute of liberty on some beach we'll have nobody to blame but ourselves. ;)
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout out. The links on my post should take you to larger/higher-res versions, which would be usable at the game table.
