Headline: World Gets Charge from Nuclear Kittens The Feline Stars: Kittens Alpha, Beta, Gamma, and Neutron, who were living at the San Onofre nuclear power plant near San Diego, California

What Happened: How do you make a nuclear power plant seem warm and fuzzy? Find some kittens there. In February 1996, just as the owner of the San Onofre power plant was kicking off a pro-nuclear PR campaign, a worker happened to find four motherless kittens under a building. A pregnant cat, the story went, had slipped through security at the plant, given birth to a litter of kittens, and disappeared. When the worker tried to carry the kittens off the grounds, alarms went off. It turned out that the cute little animals were slightly radioactive—though officials explained that they were in no danger. The story was reported worldwide. The Nuclear News, a nuclear industry publication, called it “the biggest nuclear story in years.” Aftermath: Seven months later, the Atomic Kittens were pronounced radiation free. Offers to adopt them flooded in from all over the world, but workers at the plant decided to take the kittens home themselves.
