I found a couple holiday themed items. The first is an anti-nuke button produced for the New Hampshire Seacoast Concerned Citizens group, sometime in the 1980's, when controversy boiled over the licensing of the Seabrook plant in New Hampshire.
And I thought Santa was non- partisan! And for those wanting their holiday dessert, here's the Dounreay Fast Reactor, which operated from 1962 to 1977 at the tip of northern Scotland, dressed up like a Christmas pudding.
The reverse of the card completes the phrase "The proof of the pudding..." with "is in the heating," and then gives a seasonal drink suggestion - the "Meltdown": "Put a lump of sugar, a twist of lemon peel, a twist of orange peel and a lot of brandy into a flameproof mug; light the mixture, stir and strain. Add strontium 90 to taste." Hmmm....The reverse of the card, which did not scan well, shows a crowd of revelers watching our pudding in flames. Well, if you're tired of the polemic, here's a simple winter scene courtesy of Electricité de France of the snowy shoreline of the Moselle river with the Cattenom plant in the distance.
It's still the holiday season, so let's all sit back and raise a glass (I'll stick with champagne over a Meltdown!).
Bonne année à tous! Happy new year to all!
