      It would be sort of funny in a morbid way for the government to stage a top-secret mission as a “cover story” for the true motive of irradiating one of the most important rivers in the world

      Probably a radioisotope thermoelectric generator, to power spying and communications equipment.

      Edit: yeah, that was it.

        Ohhh an RTG. I assumed they were talking about one of those backpack nuclear weapons that NATO used in Operation Gladio’s stay-behind armies.

    Wonder if the temperature changes much wherever it’s buried. Should be safe as long as it’s secure in casing that isn’t expanding and contracting regularly.

      Doubt the temperature changes much, but glacial movement will shred it sooner or later.

    Did they lose it before or after they made JFK’s head do that after he threatened to shut them down?
