#1 How has their economy been able to weather the contamination of this vital hub of commerce?

#2 Anyone else see a problem with this? NK weapons grade material and Russian nuclear experts verifying if its safe? Slight conflict of interest here on Russia's part if true.

#3 I can't see this happening, even the Norks would be able to build a container that could take a short drop like this. They'd be using a russian cargo jet with a ramp low to the ground, and with a precious cargo like this the container would be of quality manufacture. Plus they say it's "weapons grade" uranium, so we're talking about very small ammounts here. It doesn't pass the smell test. Now, if we're talking about a chemical or bio weapon, that's different.

#4 Steve -
Just a thought on your comment about the containers: even the Norks could build one, but - containers for this sort of thing that have been used for a long time tend to get brittle.
With that in mind I've been wondering how long that container might have been in use...and for that matter, where...

#5 Iran nuclear spill cover-up feared

Feared? By whom?

#6 Feared? By whom? By the sponsors of the 2006 Summer X-games in Terahn. It's hard to hold the skateboarding competition when the skateboards keep melting.
