How does something 'sound nuclear'?

"How does something 'sound nuclear'? "

Note the federal agencies notified on Ashcroft's list....The bulk of non-law enforment agencies were nuclear related....The NRC, Dept. of Energy etc.....

Conspiculously missing was the CDC and other related medical facilities....

I don't know if that is enough to glean a threat but it appears to be a clear direction....

Ashcroft specifically stated that the energy dept.,nuclear and FAA had been advised.They also said that this alert is for the next week----a more concise time frame than last time.

Because they didn't say an army of small pox ridden folks was gonna come from Canada and Mexico to visit.. We already have the anthrax.. so what's left?

Well, I clearly don't know that for *certain*, but Aschroft did look a fright, and he specifically mentioned that the nuclear regulatory commission and the doe had been notified. Furthermore, he seems to know within a few days when it will happen, implying a punctuated event, not a slow, biological event. Why make such a forboding announcement if the only 'punctuated' event was a car bomb? Clearly, it seems, it must be a magnificent event to compel such a warning. Just my perception of it all...
