"a sandwich of 2 inches (5 cm) of steel, 2 inches of lead, and another 2 inches of steel has been laid down under almost the entire block"
Not cleaned up, but somewhat mitigated and wow that doesn't sound like it was cheap...
- iSnow 11y agoThe sheer volume of money and work and the technical difficulties of putting a 15cm thick sandwich of metal underneath a block make me doubt the veracity of the article. Especially coupled with the factual error "separates into the rare-earth Sodium Sulfate". Sodium is nowhere near a rare-earth metal and Monazite is a Cerium/Lanthanium phosphate that contains lots of other elements, Uranium and Thorium among them.
