Homer Simpson must have moved to Germany!

D'OH!


BERLIN (Reuters) - German authorities are changing 150 locks at a nuclear power plant after its owner said they had lost keys to a security area, a ministry spokesman in the south western state of Baden-Wuerttemberg said Monday.

Plant operator EnBW said that in spite of intensive searches and questioning it had not been able to recover 12 keys for its Philippsburg plant after discovering they were lost in March.

The environment ministry said EnBW informed it the keys were missing and the operator had put extra safety measures in place to control access to the secure area.

"This has never happened anywhere in Germany before," the ministry spokesman said. "The keys have simply disappeared."

Prosecutors have launched an investigation for theft.

Don't these places have some big deep pool of water where the reactor core sits? The keys are at the bottom of that. Don't ask me how I know.

Depends on the design, but you're probably thinking of those pictures of those pools of water that are glowing blue. Those are actually where they keep spent fuel rods.

How unGerman!  Next you will tell me the bathrooms are dirty!

I promise to make the nuclear reactors run on time....

That's where they are then. At the bottom of the spent rod tank. Nobody wants to admit to it.



Oh wait! Did they check between the couch cushions in the lounge?

Reminds me of the episode where Marge got a job at the plant:

Homer, giving "unofficial orientation": And if anything goes wrong, we blame it on the guy who doesn't speak English.

Smithers, later, giving official orientation: And that's the supply room. We haven't been able to get in there since that idiot Tibor lost the key.
