This radioactive material was packaged the way it should have been, in the proper equipment, to withstand a whole lot more than what it took last night.

This high level waste is still very radioactive, but there is no fissile material and when it has been vitrified it is unusable for anything.

They are proven. They rely on reliable equipment.

I heard that Jacques was a real innovator always tinkering with the equipment and stuff,

This was a major technological breakthrough -- a wireless projectile that contains a fully operational TASER circuit payload, packaged in a non-lethal 12-gauge shotgun round. This demonstration was the culmination of several years of intensive research and development funded through ONR. The XREP technology will now begin the transition from research to production.

The amount of construction activity that we're predicting at the street level, and the amount of material and equipment and labor that needs to access Lower Manhattan to complete these projects is probably unprecedented. Everything's teed up and ready to go.
