A farmer in south-western Alberta is producing llamas that glow in the dark. It appears that his farm is on an area that, during the 1950s, was used as a tailings pile for a nearby uranium mine. The radioactivity in the forage has apparently accumulated in the llamas over the past few years.
The owner of the farm is in the process of building a do-it-yourself nuclear reactor in his silo which he predicts will provide enough power to light up a small city. The pellet-powered reactor will be fueled by the radioactive waste excreted by the llamas.
The llamas originally came from Mount Lehman Llamas in neighbouring British Columbia.
