On the subject of nuclear incidents and just so you can see for yourself how lax nuclear safety is globally and just how much radiactive materials (particularly scrap metals and items related to the decommissioning of reactors) makes it's way into the wider environment, check out this link 784+ nuclear incidents It is interesting to see just how much material is 'lost' and finds its ways into hands who often don't know what it is :-(

There's a peach one about radioactive material finding its way into a batch of elevator buttons...I knew there was a good reason why I take the stairs!! Don't think I'll be buying any new metal-ware for me kitchen (not without being equipped witha geiger counter!).
