John Ranalletta Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Putzmeister Reactor Entombment Devices; or, Putzmeister isn't putzing around For maximum, long-term appreciation, buy one today and store it near the GE Mark 1 Nuclear Reactor in your neighborhood. Only Putzmeister is Chernobyl-tested and approved by your local nuclear regulatory agency. Kinda' like an ultimate FUBAR UL listing, eh? Link to comment
Hermes Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 I feel a lot better now, knowing that Putzmeister is on the way. Once there, we can really wash that nasty radiation into the ocean. Pacific Salmon or Alaskan King Crab anyone? Link to comment
upflying Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 These are just pumpers right? Who is bringing the cement, sand, gravel and water that goes into these things? What happens when Japan is finished with them? Do we want them back? Link to comment
John Ranalletta Posted April 2, 2011 Author Share Posted April 2, 2011 Immelt Is flying in to save the day. Likely, he heard "putz" and thought somebody called. Link to comment
Joe Frickin' Friday Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Putzmeister. Sounds like something out of an Onion article. FreeTranslation says "putz" is German for "plaster." Maybe a reference to the concrete the truck dispenses? PlasterMaster. I like that better. Link to comment
Hermes Posted April 2, 2011 Share Posted April 2, 2011 Putz (to putz) is also a verb. A verb no less for cleaning, as in: I am putzing my bike - or, I am putzing reactor Number 1, 2, 3 and 4 until they gleam and glow. Link to comment

What happens when Japan is finished with them? Do we want them back? Fellow I know was in Italy during Chernobyl. He told me a tale about convoys of dump trucks being escorted as fast as they could go north toward the mess. I imagine there were similar convoys headed in from other parts of Europe. My guess is that Japan is going to have to get the Chinese to ship it over to them. Barges a bunch, I should think. Link to comment
