Doesnt really seem like a big deal to me that some of the earlier tales had a lot of pictures that werent hers.
No pics of her bike in the restricted zones are on her site iirc, either in motion or stationary

As a Designer & Project Engineer in the Nuclear/Power Generation Industry this site moves me greatly each time I visit it and really brings home the terrible consequences that can occur if and when things go wrong.

One of my favorite sites. Thank you.

I wonder how badly the wolves etc are effected or not?
Christ,I'm thinking,will there be any animal/insect mutations now?

I wouldnt be going into the Hot zone anytime soon ...

Flash radiation is fine but Ingestation is the deadly part ...

If your really interested then why dont you sign up to help build the new Sarcophagus. (If they ever build it)

This is the Video her dad shot ... He died not long after ..

Makes you think in the year 2300 onwards this is still going to be their.

An interesting part is this...

By extrapolation, 1 lb (less then half kilogram) of plutonium, universally disposed, would be enough to kill every living human being on the earth
