Numnutz of the Week (for Outstanding Nuclear Boneheadedness):

A purported West Point Mechanical Engineer who serves as a Vice President at Holtec Nuclear, makers of 5/8″ thin stainless steel high level radioactive materials storage tanks that we’re supposed to believe will work, seems to think that the tanks can’t leak because the nuclear contents are not a liquid!  No, really, she said it at 11 min 15-18 seconds in on this video of a public meeting with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission:
