5.0 out of 5 stars Blue tape eliminates red tape, January 7, 2009
By honeybearsf (San Francisco) - See all my reviews
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.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great control of sulfur and slight radioactive activities. , January 7, 2009
After a long night of beer and hot wings, I decided to overnight this tape to my house, as I knew what was going to happen.

After the epic birthing of a giant brown monster, I used 3M's performance plus nuclear tape to seal around the bathroom's door into the bedroom. To my surprise, my wife and children never did smell what I had to endure.

After 5 months, 29 days, I removed the tape, and I was happy to find no sticky residue left on the door frame.

I do see Amazon is now selling this for $12.88. I wish I would have waited, as I did pay full price.

5.0 out of 5 stars SLATE BLUE better than RED tape, February 24, 2009
If you're a nuclear technician and a Democrat, there's no better high-performace duct tape for your facility than the SLATE BLUE nuclear duct tape. I was happy to see the new administration give this product its endorsement, after so many years of having to make do with the previous administration's insistence that only the RED "nucular" duct tape (http://www.amazon.com/3M-Performance-Nuclear-48-Millimeter-54-8-Meter/dp/B000NG61G8/ref=pd_sxp_grid_pt_0_0) was approved for use in vital reactor locations. The safety advantages of the SLATE BLUE nuclear tape are obvious to even the lowest-level tech; in tests we found that a liberal use of the SLATE BLUE nuclear tape met or exceeded the standards set by the NRC, compared to the conservative applications of RED tape recommended under the guidelines furnished by the previous administration. With the SLATE BLUE tape, we can radiate confidence that our repairs will hold.
