NUCLEAR PLANT SAFETY
(A Poetry Tutorial)
------------------------------------------------------------------
* Station guards at the bullet-proof lookout post
* Never use a nuclear reactor for making toast
* If the reactor core is cracked,
have it evaluated for environmental impact
* Be careful to not fall from the concrete containment wall
* Never dive head-first into the spent-fuel pool
* Make sure that the wiring has a proper ground
* Take prudent precautions to prevent a melt-down
* Sanitize all surfaces with Handi-Wipes
* Be sure to scrutinize the leaking pipes
* Before entering the inner courtyard, please wipe your shoes
* Never insert a penny, into the reactor's fuse
* If you supervise the reactor controls and drink,
you might fail to see the red lights blink
* If the indicator should rise into the red section of the dial,
quickly insert a cadmium-plated steel rod into the pile
* Do not stick your fingers into the generator turbines
* Do not dispose of radioactive wastes, in the regular trash bins
* When changing the light-bulbs, do not stand on a chair
* Shroud the uranium pile in balloon cloth,
to keep out the neutron-absorbing air
* Regularly check the o-rings for any signs of atrophy
* Do not allow the core to reach a lower state of entropy
* Do not play with the push-buttons, or try on the bonnets
* If the control rod will not insert,
do NOT attempt to put grease on it
