Far be it from me to interfere in such astonishing displays of the level of 
ignorance which can be imparted only by a college education.

Still, I'm just another unemployed UNIX sysadmin and so I have time to spare 
to poke fun at you.

These elements couldn't have been depleted by being used for nuclear 
electrical generation, if they hadn't already been radioactive.

Your statement, above, appears to convey the misinformation that stable 
isotopes are used to generate electricity by making them radioactive.

That is exactly backwards.
