2012, Day 290 - Bleeding sparks

There are workers pulling scrap metal out of Satsop Nuclear Power Plant; the income from the scrap helps maintain the site but it also removes some of the history.  I guess it is a necessary evil.  These workers were toiling in the rain, cutting the salvageable scrap in order to make pennies for each dollar invested.  Seems like a lot of work for relatively little reward.
