Macondo 2 - This time, it's radioactive.

Sequel to Macondo, The Well from Hell


Summary: A hard-driving bunch of engineers, determined to produce vital energy supplies at rock-bottom prices, cuts corners with safety and ends up ambushed by a once-in-a-billion years event that could not have been predicted, imagined, or even thought of by any reasonable human being. Initial hand-wringing bleeding-heart whining by flaky environmentalists is met by crusty, stoical, laconic bulletins from highly trained bullshit artists. Meanwhile events spiral out of control, although strategic communications about the events are professionally managed.
