> Somewhere near Goldsboro, North Carolina, a uranium core is likely buried in a field.
> The United States Army Corps of Engineers purchased a 400-foot circular easement over the buried components to restrict digging.
Is an easement sufficient protection? If there isn't someone around to prevent anyone from digging, then we're just relying on evildoers being afraid of violating property laws?
- JumpCrisscross 4y agoEasements are aimed less at would-be terrorists than unlucky construction crews.
- sclarisse 4y agoYou think that evildoers might not only be able to conduct an excavation so difficult that it stymied the US military, but that they’d be able to do it without attracting official attention?
- ocdtrekkie 4y agoIf the US military couldn't find it when the scene was fresh, what's the likelihood someone could establish a large and sufficient enough excavation operation to find it, and remove it, before somebody bothered to go "what's all that ruckus about" and call the US military?
