Abstract of Information regarding Poppin' Fresh UWS:
The Poppin' Fresh UWS Yucca Mountain is an extremely large, durable
plastic device (see drawing) based on the popular pop-up timer found
in Thanksgiving turkeys. The pop-up timer device is simple in design
and saves housewives the muss and fuss of using and cleaning meat
thermometers. The pop-up device inserted in the bird at the turkey
processing plant simply pops up when an internal temperature of
180F/81C is reached. This is achieved through the use of a solder
like metal compound with a low melting point (180F/81C). When this
temperature is reached the metal melts releasing a spring which pops
the internal plastic section. This action signals to the
housewife/mother that soon her family shall be sitting down to give
thanks for all the wonderful devices and technologies that make life
so wonderful.
In much the same way, the Poppin' Fresh device shall let inhabitants know that it is once again safe to dig Yucca Mountain. The device shall also act as a warning sign letting inhabitants know that a danger exists beneath it. This shall be accomplished by using a "to be determined" set of symbols deeply etched into the circular top of the inner pop-up cylinder. The device shall measure the disintegration/degradation of the high-level radioactive wastes in both Curie (Ci) and Becquerel (Bq) levels. These are measures of the disintegration activity of atoms at a radioactive source. One becquerel = 2.7 x 10 (to the minus 11) curie. When a safe and acceptable level is reached the pop-up device which has previously served as a warning signal shall now become the indicator that all is clear and it is safe to again enter the subterrestrial areas of Yucca Mountain.
