    Technical Details

    * Slate-blue nuclear duct tape certified for low leachable halogens and sulfur
    * Ideal for applications in the shipbuilding, _nuclear power plant_ and stainless steel industries
    * Offers 6-month clean removal from most opaque surfaces
    * Sunlight and UV resistance for up to 1 year
    * Measures 48-millimeters-by-54 meters (WxL); 13 milli-inches thick; weighs 1.6 pounds

    maybe that’s why?… more than likely a marketing slang or something.

    Oh sure, READ the technical details!

  3. Fun Fong says:

    Oh, it’s just a specification for use in some nuclear facility applications. At $14 per roll, it’s our tax dollars at work!

    Funny how after so many years, that inclusion of the word “Nuclear” still gets a lot of knee-jerk and uninformed reactions. REAL geeks would understand the “nuclear” specifications without a lot of hystrionics.

    Are you somehow implying that Dan isn’t a real geek?

  5. Bob says:

    I’m just about to test the Nuclear capabilities of the tape.

    BOOOOOOOOM!!!!!!!!!

    That was low, Fun Fong.

    You have to admit, the idea of have something nuclear in a roll of sticky funness is quite amusing, even if that’s not what it means.
