A while back, something sparked some curiousity in me about the affects of atomic bombs. I read a couple of books and lots of stuff online about the affects on the Japanese, and IIRC, I ended up reading about chernobyl and it's affects on the people there.

Nuclear power, it is what it is, it exists and that's done. We won the war, and I think, nuclear power has in the past, and continues to deter the thought of war on the scale of WW1 & 2. From a certain point of view, it's a good thing if you choose to see it that way.

I've got a curious mind, and I think a mind at least some what like an engineer, analytical. The photos were fascinating, and I was frustrated when I got to the end because there weren't more.

At the same time, considering what nuclear weapons have done, and are capable of doing, it seems odd to read "cool" when commenting.

Steve, I don't want you to think I'm judging or anything. My first reaction was also "wow, cool!" Then my thoughts went down a road... Like I said, not judging, not saying anything about you at all, just a comment on the bigger picture. The photos, and the phenomenon are fascinating, very interesting, yes, even cool. Somehow, it just felt weird to have thought that.
