 Blue tape eliminates red tape January 7, 2009

When we found cracks in the containment structure, we used to have to shut the whole plant down; then there was a lot of hassle with the nuclear regulatory agency about structural integrity and environmental contamination. With this quality duct tape, that's all in the past. Now, when we see a cracked or crumbling wall, we just bring out the tape. The slate blue blends right in. I do recommend that you use use double layers for openings near the reactor core.

At first I believed my professor when he said that I couldn't get anything better than an A+. Now I know the truth. There is a secret nuclear grade to which I must aspire.

As I do most Sundays, I was working in the back yard on the grill. Because the dude next door is an Al Qaeda operative and he doesn't lock his shed, I figured, hey, what the hell, let's beef up the grill with some bomb grade plutonium. Because I didn't have anything handy to hold it in place, I stuck it down with this 3M nuclear duct tape. After all, I don't want my burgers exposed directly to radiation!
That seemed like a good idea at the time, but when I threw a steak on the grill, not only was the steak cooked way too quickly, but the gamma rays jumped right through the tape and caused the steak to start glowing. It also tasted funny, so I can't say I recommend this product at all!
Great control of sulfur and slight radioactive activities. January 7, 2009

After a long night of beer and hot wings, I decided to overnight this tape to my house, as I knew what was going to happen.
After the epic birthing of a giant brown monster, I used 3M's performance plus nuclear tape to seal around the bathroom's door into the bedroom. To my surprise, my wife and children never did smell what I had to endure.
After 5 months, 29 days, I removed the tape, and I was happy to find no sticky residue left on the door frame.
I do see Amazon is now selling this for $12.88. I wish I would have waited, as I did pay full price.
SLATE BLUE better than RED tape February 24, 2009

If you're a nuclear technician and a Democrat, there's no better high-performace duct tape for your facility than the SLATE BLUE nuclear duct tape. I was happy to see the new administration give this product its endorsement, after so many years of having to make do with the previous administration's insistence that only the RED "nucular" duct tape (http://www.amazon.com/3M-Performance-Nuclear-48-Millimeter-54-8-Meter/dp/B000NG61G8/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_0) was approved for use in vital reactor locations. The safety advantages of the SLATE BLUE nuclear tape are obvious to even the lowest-level tech; in tests we found that a liberal use of the SLATE BLUE nuclear tape met or exceeded the standards set by the NRC, compared to the conservative applications of RED tape recommended under the guidelines furnished by the previous administration. With the SLATE BLUE tape, we can radiate confidence that our repairs will hold.
