Nuclear power systems produce material that must be stored for a long time. Most of the material being stored is contaminated clothing and equipment, not direct reactor waste products.
I tried a range that matched the start of my gold card. Some of the original pages have been pulled, but the data is still available in the google cache.
It was during an ice age. There could have been a layer of dust, deposited on all that glacial ice. But when the ice melted, the layer would have washed away.
Thinking along these lines, why wasn't the iridium that marks the K-T boundary layer washed away, too?
It might be a good idea to start PGP-SIGNING emails, in case someone else decides to edit archived email to make your life more interesting. It also helps protect against entire forgeries, but only if you can show you always sign everything.
The book is a different story.
It has a simple structure. New readers should be warned. The chapters alternate between (1) telling a war story and (2) Heinlein's view on authority and responsibility. Skip one set or the other.
Surgical teams don't scale. They are fine for the problems they can reach - like modern games. This may be a limiting factor in the future of games programming; thye haven't quite hit that wall yet.
Some of the problems he identified are still unsolved after all these years, so don't blame Fred. We have done no better. -- rearranging bugs since 1962
Funny you should mention this close relationship. I recall talking with a Welshman who married a Finn. He told me that the similarity between Finnish and Hungarian was comparable to the similarity between English and Sanskrit -- just about enough to entertain the comparitive linguists.

Terrifying indeed.
There is insufficient data to construct a plausible model.

It has been thirty years since people did anything more than going around in circles in near space. Since 14 December 1972, IIRC.
