    Interesting,

    Why is it impossible to find any info about this anywhere else?

    I have a feeling that there is very incomplete and interest group produced information here.

    I would like to know exactly how much radioactive material there is in this water. If it is water that was used to produce steam or if it is part of a cooling reservoir that is present in every atomic reactor  in case of overheating.  Water will only become radioactive if there is a leak in the reactor and the water is used to keep the temperature down. There were no radioactive leaks in this reactor although there were some mechanical problems that ,if left unattended might have caused trouble.

    I'm all for crying wolf, if there is a wolf around, but the wolf here seems to be conjured.

     

    Which would be awesome. “News” and truth are not always the same, let alone the fact that many “truths” are often subjective.

    Never saw the joy or purpose of killing animals for the fun of it.  I hunt and fish, but with a far different mentality. I find it to be both sad and pathetic.

    We heard you the first time. This site is like a buffet, don’t like one thing, go find something you do.

  3. Good weekend for the hounds. One of the yotes killed had a peculiar track, looked like it was dragging one leg. Ran it for miles both yesterday and today. 
    Found out finally the reason was it had a leg hold trap on one of its rear leg. One tough coyote.

    :lol: Bill   It is mainly used for bottom fishing for Lake Trout. There are spring (s) (some have only one others have multiple usually two) inside that are wound up with a "key"  to create tension on single strand copper wire to which either a somewhat heavy spoon with the fixed hook facing upward to avoid catching on bottom or snagging weeds, OR a small thing resembling a flatfish on a leader (Twin minnow). The spoon is dragged slowly along bottom all the while "feeling" the bottom. The Twin minnow is run close to bottom. The operator holds the wire between his thumb and forefinger and uses a jerking motion ( often 2 small jerks followed by a long one or the reverse of it) as the spoon drags along the bottom (hopefully on cobble so you can feel it better). Like wise the twin minnow is pulled usually slightly and just off bottom, but everyone has a little different technique and success may depend on minor things that are done and firsthand  experience is probably more critical to this technique than anything else in fishing and closely relates to success. Sorry Bill I couldn't resist:lol: ( But I did make it in less than a thousand words) Oh I forgot..... any slack in the wire as you troll along is taken up automatically by the spool on the top of the victrola.

    Thanks Les, great description. Do many people still use them?
