In a recent post titled, James L. Acord – the transformation of nuclear waste, I referred to his tattoo, which marked a big step forward for his effort to turn nuclear waste into sculpture.
In 1993, after endless negotiations with the Department of Energy, Acord became the only individual on the planet licensed to “own and possess” nuclear material. To mark his triumph, he had the license number tattooed on the back of his neck.
I didn’t have an image of that tattoo. Now, thanks to Arthur S. Aubry, who took the photo sent via Howard House, I do.
