Rename Jazz Utah Reactors?

What's all the fuss over the name change from the Delta Center to EnergySolutions Arena? Yes, UTA might have to change its TRAX terminus to Gateway Station or some such, but think of all the benefits.

Perhaps we could finally change the ever ill-fitting name of our NBA franchise to something a bit more compatible with the move to make Utah the nation's nuclear waste repository. How about the Utah Reactors, Isotopes, REMs or Gamma Rays? The powder blue uniforms could be exchanged for a flashy fluorescent green. If the Jazz were not doing so well this year (they seem to have found an energy solution of their own), we might be tempted to call the team the Utah Sludge to go along with the proposed arena nickname "The Dump."
