Uranium Found in Mississippi County Missouri
By: david090366 Date: May 7, 2015, 2:20 pm
---------------------------------------------------------
What could be one of the largest uranium strikes in recent
history has been found in Mississippi County, Confederate State
of Missouri. Touted as a modern gold rush prospectors from all
over the state have come to Mississippi County hoping to strike
it rich. Many in what is considered Missouri's poorest area are
also looking forward to the wealth the strikes might bring in.
Environmentalists, however, question the safety of uranium
mining in the area citing possible ground water contamination
and increased risks of cancer.

In related news researchers at Missouri University of Science
and Technology, using decades old equations and theories, have
begun attempting to construct an artificial nuclear reactor.
With the forecast of increased industrial activity in the state
and the subsequent need for increased electrical output
researchers have turned to nuclear energy as one of the few
viable alternatives. Although the state sits on large coal
deposits the pollution generated by coal powered electrical
plants is seen as a less than optimal choice while the state is
already at near capacity for hydroelectric output. The
experimental reactor is to be built beneath an old stadium at
the university and is dubbed RP1 (Rolla Pile 1).

OOC: Why do they care? Why not just port them over to Neon City
Labs and just see what happens?

With the recent discovery of Uranium, a DEN mining company which
specializes in uranium mining has recently asked the government
of Missouri if it would be possible for them to set up a large
scale operation. They quote good pay figures, royalties, and
cuts of uranium ore, but ask that they be allowed to mine as
much is needed. DEN scientists have also asked to be present in
helping create the new nuclear reactor, as well as study it.

The Confederate State of Missouri would welcome DEN investment
and help in the project. To other governments, we are not doing
this work in secret. Any results the University has, once they
are thoroughly vetted, will most certainly be published in the
appropriate journals.

In a message detailing the amount of mining help Missouri would
receive, they also sent a list of the scientists who would
attend to help. Most of them are military scientists of high
caliber and standing, and a few are newer scientists who showed
promise in the workings with them. Most, if not all, of the
equipment and people would be carried by the military transports
in massive Goliath transport planes, which would need a large
airfield to land.

The closest "major" airport to Mississippi county is probably
Cape Girardeau Regional It has two runways 10/28 is 6,499 by 150
feet (1,981 x 46 m) with a concrete surface; 2/20 is 3,996 by
100 feet (1,218 x 30 m) with an asphalt/concrete surface. The
distance from Cape Girardeau to to the county seat of
Mississippi County is 36.3 mi

The Goliaths will be able to land on those runways, and ask that
the runways be cleared for their arrival, and that they be
allowed to unload and drive their cargo trucks to the farms.

Dr. George D. Waddill, Chairman and Professor of the Physics
Department at Missouri S&T announced today that they had
achieved a sustained, artificial, nuclear reaction at their test
pile. The next step of course will be the construction of a full
scale nuclear power plant. For this a site has been selected
near Jefferson City, Missouri. A full write of the experiment
and schematics of the test pile will appear in next months
edition of the Missouri S&T Miner, the school's journal.
