World Nuclear University Launched

nuke-alwin writes "The first meeting of the 'academic council' of the newly-launched World Nuclear University (WNU) was held in the UK last week. The mission of the WNU is to strengthen the international community of people and institutions to guide and further develop nuclear power and many other nuclear applications (in agriculture, medicine, environmental protection). As workers in the nuclear industry are aging, organisations have started Young Generation Networks such as the YGN of the British Nuclear Energy Society. The WNU is a further recognition that the nuclear industry needs to educate a new generation of workers, so that nuclear power can continue to provide electricity without the production of greenhouse gases."

Dear Sirs,

[grub]

We would be very blessed to have our best students
attend your Nuclear School. Our people need this
nuclear information to produce power so that we may
destroy western infidels^W^W our dependence on fossil
fuels while reducing greenhouse gas emissions.

Yours very truly,

Osama bin Laden &
Saddam Hussein

Students attending this new university are reported to have a half-life of only 18 months. Essentially, upon graduating students have little to no life left in them. How this differs from any other university remains to be seen.

interesting choice of words in headline.

When in the same sentence, the words 'launch' and 'nuclear' usually signal bad things are to come.

Just what the world needs

A bunch of drunk college frat boys with nuclear waste. Nothing can go wrong with that at all.

Obligatory Simpsons reference

Prof: This proton accelerator destabilizes the atom in this chamber here, then propels it--

Homer: Uh, excuse me, Professor Brainiac, but I worked in a nuclear power plant for ten years, and, uh, I think I know how a proton accelerator works.

Prof: Well, please, come down and show us.

Homer: All right, I will.

Everyone abandons the glowing green building. Homer walks out, glowing green himself.

Homer: [to meltdown men] In there, guys.

Men: Thanks, Homer.

It is a double edged sword

[George Walker Bush]

My fellow Americans,

I am extremely concerned about this nuclear school and what it means for our national securitization. We must not misunderestimatify the potential for doing both good and evil that this nuclear school provides. We must keep tabs on it to make sure that the nuclear knowledge does not fall into the wrong hands and remains in the control of Americans for the good of America.

Thank you and God bless America.

Nuclear Convocation

[sssmashy]

I look forward to seeing the first convocation ceremony for the Nuclear University. All those young, fresh-faced graduates, glowing with pride... at least, we hope it's pride...

Are you sure it doesn't stand for...
