Radioactive power for several delayed optical displays of core-collapse supernovae is commonly described as having been provided by decays of 56Ni nuclei.
Jonathan Katz of Washington University in St .Louis, Missouri, has another, equally mundane explanation for the effect: He thinks it may be due to waste heat from the radioactive power source aboard the spacecraft.
Now for the worst: in his speech, the President intentionally muddied the waters between dirty energy sources and truly clean energy sources like solar, wind and geothermal by trying to redefine mythical "clean coal," radioactive nuclear power and polluting natural gas as "clean energy".
The unscrutinized containers, the bridge, the oil tanks, the dormant but still-radioactive nuclear power plant 20 miles north of the harbor -- all form a volatile mix in a time of terrorism.
