Currently I live in GA...25 miles SE of Atlanta ( and since ya’ll asked...yes it’s still too damned close!)

Anyway, there’s a rail line that originates in Savannah going through town. Savannah is about THE hugest on the east coast for shipping so there are frequent trains heading northbound loaded to the gills with containers. Whenever I’m hung up at a crossing waiting for the train to pass, all I can see are multiple opportunities for bad stuff to get sent somewhere unbeknownst to most.

Chilling.

Savannah is part of the spent (depleted) uranium ratline. It’s a legal exchange under US law (US buys/credits billions for worldwide depleted uranium) for uranium dropoffs from reactors around the globe but it is greatly abused by rogue actors because the price of uranium is orders of magnitude more than the price of gold.

For example, a kilo of HEU costs more than $90 million. That kind of money attracts some nasty characters.

The ships are brought into Charleston and then onto Savannah.
