When we found cracks in the containment structure, we used to have to shut the whole plant down; then there was a lot of hassle with the nuclear regulatory agency about structural integrity and environmental contamination. With this quality duct tape, that's all in the past. Now, when we see a cracked or crumbling wall, we just bring out the tape. The slate blue blends right in. I do recommend that you use use double layers for openings near the reactor core.

When I'm flying my Type 40 across the universe, sometimes cracks start appearing in time. Just slap some Nuclear Grade duct tape on there and it'll patch it right up. It's also great for reversing the neutron polarity flow, but I can't say it helped fix up the Chameleon Circuit. My Type 40 is stuck as a blue police box now. Sometimes my Time Vortex acts up, but I just slap on some more Nuclear Grade Performance Plus 3M Duct Tape, and the sexy thing just fires back into life. It also helps protect against Dalek and Cybermen attacks.
Sexy never complains when I patch her up with 3M Performance Plus Nuclear Duct Tape. The Slate Blue blends right into the police box. I had to buy my second roll when the Master stole my last roll.
This stuff is so amazing, sometimes I think it's made out of wibbley, wobbley, timey, whimey...stuff.
Delivery was quick no matter where I was in space and time.

Since everyone on Amazon thinks this stuff is hilarious, I figured that it deserves an explanation. Duct tape is used in nuclear power plants for similar reasons that a homeowner would use it for (hanging temporary paper signs, taping temporary power cords out of the way etc). It is NOT used for repair of ANYTHING on primary systems. Standard duct tape can't be used in nuclear power plants for two reasons. First, standard duct tape is silver, which blends in with stainless steel components, so nuclear duct tape is red or blue so it can be found easily and removed. Second, standard duct tape adhesive leaves a residue, and the residue contains sulfides which can lead to Stress Corrosion Cracking in stainless steel.

The nature of this product is mundane at best, more often critical, and it shouldn't be treated as a joke. Read more

Good product
We have used this product in an outdoor application and it holds up quite well. Some has held over a year eventhough it has been exposed to the weather.
