Get a copy to carry around and read it in your spare time. It’s not that long. Even a U.S. Congressperson could do if they wanted.

The World’s First floating nuclear power plant

It’s not the one the Russians are building. Given the Russian’s record of failure with nuclear reactor’s and generally poor environmental record, any buyer’s are doing so at their own risk.
The world’s first floating nuclear power plant was built in the early 1960s by the United States Army Corps of Engineers. It was the MH-1A Sturgis, a converted WWII Liberty ship. The BBC falsely reported that the Russians were building the first floating nuclear power plant back in 2006, and other news agencies are still repeating their mistake.

Happy American Independence Day
On this day, in 1776, the Declaration of Independence was signed. It had been voted for, by all thirteen delegations, two days previously.
Also on this day, in 1976, Israeli commandos struck a blow for freedom by rescuing nearly all the passengers and crew of an Air France plan hijacked by Palestinian Islamofascists. The terrorists were held up at the Entebbe airport in Uganda.
Today is also the birthday of my friend Doug Berry, a veteran of the United States Army. Thanks Doug, and happy birthday.
