Radioactive spent nuclear fuel rods




Radioactive spent nuclear fuel rods

By

Are we stuck with nuclear power whether we like it or not?
Do you remember Three Mile Island and what we nearly got?
That near nuclear melt down caused some of us all to think,
Then there was Chernobyl in Ukraine with the communist link.

But that was twenty years ago so they want us all to forget,
They haven’t figured out where to put radio active waste yet,
And it will still be radio active ten thousand years from now,
Our descendents will just have to figure it all out somehow.

What does it take to make us realize the dangers involved?
And the nuclear energy guys may not have the problems solved,
Which will it be – global warming or nuclear winter soon?
Melting ice caps or a cloud that looks like a giant mushroom.

They want to dump those used radio active spent rods in your back yard,
No need to be concerned about this they say or even on your guard,
There’s not a chance that you might start to glow in the dark,
And if you do, you can apply for a job at some amusement park.
