No big deal. Explosives used in nuclear devices are quite stable. They didn't hurt a thing.

"Pantex officials also downplayed the risk, Conway noted, calling the cracks in the explosive and the fact that workers taped it together a "trivial" change in procedures.

There is nothing "trivial" about the handling of explosive in a plant that's dismantling Nuclear Weapons. Look for a small rise in the unemployment rate next week

By taping the explosives, it would secure them so they didn't rub against anything. Tape is also a good way of removing small explosive particles or dust from a device.

Conway's letter does not elaborate on what might have happened if the explosive had detonated. LOL

Well... Given the choice of duct tape or dry wall screws, I'd say that they made the correct decision.

Interesting... as far as I can tell, the reporter never ID'd the plant's location. There used to be a Pantex plant in Amarillo TX. Maybe that's it?

Sounds like a good topic for another "Reality TV" program. It could be entitled "Morons on the Job".

I can relate to these guys. I used to put silver furnace tape on my Chevy Nova to stop the rust from spreading.

To date, more people have died in Ted Kennedy's car than in all U.S. nuclear accidents.
