Have you ever embraced the core of a nuclear reactor?

[Jack Sprat]

Often I have wondered about the thrill of climbing down between the fuel rods and saying that I actually embraced the actual core at the heart of the reactor. Although I've never found it intriguing to participate in a polar bear swim in Minnesota, this seems to me might put me in the Guinness Book of Records. Especially if I could hang on for more than 2 minutes and then climb safely out.

I need a business partner for a vision I see in acquiring spent reactor rods and reselling them as magnesium or titanium baseball and softball bats in the youth leagues. Then, too, decorative curtain rods might be extracted from them for use in modern homes.
