SILVER SPRING, MD—Emphasizing that they never intended to leak the vast trove of state secrets to a foreign entity, Discovery Channel pulled the controversial nuclear power episode of How It’s Made Wednesday after realizing the show had allowed Iran access top-secret U.S. Department of Energy designs. “Had we known the Iranian government would one day use Episode 110: ‘How To Convert Uranium into Nuclear Fuel’ as a step-by-step guide to building their own reactors, we would never have released it,” said Discovery Channel spokeswoman Lisa Greenfield, adding that the 10-minute segment, which covered everything from uranium mining to milling to transporting yellowcake, was meant for educational use only. “Although we pride ourselves on providing accurate tutorials, we should have known that releasing the blueprints of several nuclear power plants, including the Nuclear Generating Station at Palo Verde, was a bad idea. From now on, the only portion of that episode that will air are the segments on how chocolate is made and how belt buckles are produced.” The Discovery Channel also pulled episodes covering the production of long-range nuclear missiles, the development of air-superiority jet fighters, and the manufacture and distribution of weaponized aerosolized botulism.

That episode was EXPLOSIVE.

Bruh lol

Based on your article, John Bolton just found some “Urinium” yellow cake in Tehran! True story!

I’m really unsure if this is satirical or real. It could so easily be real. The episode How to print your own M1 Abrams Main Battle Tank and depleted uranium shells on your Dad’s 3D printer is highly educational. Could do with a snappier title though imo.

Oh, for Fuchs sake! 🤪

What the hell!!!

So part two, how to turn yellow cake into Armageddon fun is a no go?

Now you can just download nuclear secrets from the internet

This is what happens when libtards run the tv shows.

Yeah, some people went into a meltdown over that episode.

You joke, but How Its Made legitimately has an episode on nuclear fuel rods

oh

Iranian people try to sidestep Trump’s tough sanctionsIranian businesses have found ways around US sanctions, trading through opaque channels that skirt Washington's penalties. Gotta love NBC when their political slant won't allow them to tell the truth they just word it differently. There is no such thing as an 'opaque channel' ... it is illegal. Just like when they call them 'immigrants' .. they are actually talking about illegals. Thanks NBC 4 The BS Good for them. I thought this was very good work by LesterHoltNBC

Do Restaurants Have an Obligation to Let You Use the Bathroom?Why some people are fighting to give restaurant-bathroom access to more people This is dumb. Having worked food service numerous times over the years in all types of neighborhoods, I say without equivocation, this person is the worst. Give me one more disgusting mess in a bathroom to let a few more people use them? Nope. I’ll never agree. In NYC bathrooms should be for customers only. I do not want to go out for a decent meal and have to dodge junkies shooting up if I have to use the men's room
