Plutonium Transport


Here's a useful thing to know. If you have to move plutonium, and you can't touch the container it's in, since that would be lethal, you can jerry-rig a device known as a rubber-band carrier.

The equipment you need is:

Can (vegetable tin can works well)
Plutonium
Rubber Band Carrier
1 thick rubber band
4-6 thinner rubber bands
4-6 thin ropes about 4' long

You will need several people to help you carry the plutonium. If you blind-fold them, it becomes a team-building exercise.

I got this handy info off a website for craft ideas for Cub Scouts.
Other crafts/activities to choose from: pasta bridge, attracting moths, rootbeer in 15 minutes, staying found, worry doll, and imaginoid.
