Hell, I've already got mine. I'm a step ahead of the curve.

So, does that mean that the soul patch is in for the duration? Or do I have to wear something closer to a classic Klingon goatee? It's cool with me either way, I just want to be sure.

Well I'm not a US citizen but I sport an evil beard (see signature), does that count for anything?

*Looks at Reece's signature*

Naw that's not an evil beard, that's more of a mix between homeless and Gordan's fisherman.

I know about evil beards, I proudly sport the Evil Spock goatee.

Some radioactive isotopes of xenon, for example, 133Xe and 135Xe, are produced by neutron irradiation of fissionable material within nuclear reactors.[6] 135Xe is of considerable significance in the operation of nuclear fission reactors. 135Xe has a huge cross section for thermal neutrons, 2.6×106 barns,[10] so it acts as a neutron absorber or "poison" that can slow or stop the chain reaction after a period of operation. This was discovered in the earliest nuclear reactors built by the American Manhattan Project for plutonium production. Fortunately the designers had made provisions in the design to increase the reactor's reactivity (the number of neutrons per fission that go on to fission other atoms of nuclear fuel).[68] 135Xe reactor poisoning played a major role in the Chernobyl disaster.[69] A shutdown or decrease of power of a reactor can result in buildup of 135Xe and getting the reactor into the iodine pit.
Under adverse conditions, relatively high concentrations of radioactive xenon isotopes may be found emanating from nuclear reactors due to the release of fission products from cracked fuel rods,[70] or fissioning of uranium in cooling water.[71]

Well one thing North Korea has lots of is cracked fuel rods.

Here is a hint Mr. Kim: don't clad your fuel rods in magnesium

But magnesium is a key element in controlling the nuclear fusion! Along with duct tape!

Got to admit, I can't disagree with you there... Just as long as the other half isn't one of them. She's dangerous enough without being armed...

Magnesium on the inside not the outside Mr. Kim.

Magnesium cladding + Irradiated fuel rods + water = Bad Thing.
