Default Is NASA Radio Active Contaminated?

It seems to me that the United States Government stored some NUKES in
the Kennedy Space Center about 25 Years ago. Ever since then their top
Scientists seem to (unfortunately) not be around long. So - how do you
determine if this is true?

Well that is easy - just open the Doors (that have not been opened in
two Years) and check it with a Geiger Counter. The place where the
NUKES were sitting on the Cement is famous. It is said that if a
"clean" Geiger Counter is taken over that spot - it will register
4.016. That will unfortunately give the person who is checking the RAD
Level an instant "Lift" up to 3.87 if in the vicinity for only 1
minute. He should live only another 6 - 8 months. That's because they
were bad NUKES.

But - we don't have to worry about them any more because the United
States lost the Technology. That's Right. Ever been to Hanford? No
one that has ever been there is still alive. Hanford measures about
81.4 on a Geiger Counter if you could get that close - but - I think
it was off of the scale just a while ago - so its getting better. No
worries.

Any way - I think all the Space Shuttles should be checked with a clean
Geiger Counter because they used to store them in that Kennedy Space
Center. They are probably about 3.6 or so. Not a god thing.

You see - when you fool with Nature - I guess it just takes its time.
That's all.

So, are you an idiot, or just a troll? Nuclear weapons do not significantly
contaminate their environment when they are just sitting there.

What in the world are you talking about?

In what PART of KSC? You realize KSC covers hundreds of acres and has more
than one building, right?

I think you were fooling with something other than Nature.

way as to indicate that:

Why does he have to choose?

It's not an exclusive or.

It'd be nice if ordinary English had unambiguous Boolean operators.
