As that engineering student got out of videogames the cage, he told me that this was the mine that produced the uranium to build The Bomb. videogames IN 2005, I CAME ACROSS A NEWS ARTICLE about the Dene workers who carried out the radioactive ore from that mine back when it was being mined for uranium in the 1940s and 50s. The news article talked about cancer, death and destruction—for videogames Dene workers and for Japanese civilians. The student with the clicking box had been right: ore from Eldorado was used in the Manhattan Project, and in the making of Little Boy and Fat Man (the bombs that flattened Nagasaki and Hiroshima). I once saw a bumper sticker that read: Just one nuclear bomb can ruin your whole day. It reminded me of another night in the mine, later that winter.
