FUN WITH NUCLEAR POWER
28 09 2007
An idea is being proposed - I don’t know how seriously - that the dome building at Dounreay nuclear power station could be turned into a hotel once it has been decommissioned.
A hotel.
Does this mean the Iranians will be accused of having lots of suspicious hotels?
Dounreay is the place that pleaded guilty to four charges of breaching radiation safety legislation. They were convicted of “unauthorised disposals” of waste in drains and landfill. They were also convicted of “failure to prevent fragments of irradiated nuclear fuel being discharged into the environment”.
The Dounreay plant has also previously been in trouble for allegedly exposing workers to contamination - you could be the first guest to be exposed to plutonium. Come back from your holiday with that ready brek glow!
So my question to you is this….
What other sites of environmental and human catastrophe do you want to see turned into funspots?
We could have a water sports facility where the French did their Nuclear tests.
What about beach volleyball in Tiananmen Square (they really were considering that - follow the link)
What about a rollercoaster on the site of your favourite train crash?
What are your ideas?
A revolving restaurant in Kenneth Baker’s hair.
Good morning Michael.
How about a health spa and mud baths at the site of the
Exxon Valdez oil spill?
Wave pools at tsunami central in Tailand?
Treasure hunting weekends in Keiv?
How about a flight simulator at Ground Zero. (Oh, wait, sorry, thats not funny).
A wave pool in Sri Lanka? (oh wait, that one is taken)
I know, battle recreations at the most horrific sites from the American Civil War (damn, they already do that!)
I’m afraid I’m no good at this.
Tarts and Vicars at the Labour Party Conference?
Oh.
Target practice in Dunblane. After watching Bowling for Columbine, I’m surprised the NRA hasn’t had a rally there.
Is this from an episode from a forthcoming Simpsons?
good suggestions all
V - that would be the first new idea in the simpsons for a while.
Celebrity Hang Man in Fallujah
How about extreme surfing at Three Gorges.
All ideas suggested sound good-huh!!
Well, how about luxury resort hotels (with golf courses, of course) called “Buchenwald” and “Auschwitz” and so forth? But, hey, if they do build a hotel on this nuke site I bet there will be lots and lots of American tourists lining up to stay there. So when they get home their envious neighbors can say, “Gosh, Helen! That vacation was good for you! You have such a…glow about you!”
