But clumped together, like uranium fuel rods in a reactor, the physicists and other Murray Hillers form what Physicist Douglas Osheroff calls a "critical mass...
...addition, the commission decided the reactor's fuel emits so much radiation that "before anyone could get any [uranium] out of the building, they would be dead or dying," O'Connor said...
