Unless a solution is found to the problem of disposing of nuclear waste,
continued use of fission is causing an environmental disaster of large
proportions. In fact, because the cost of eliminating the radioactive waste
(or storing it for thousands of years) is not known, it is not known whether
A few comments on Sally's Posting of Sennetts material. Of course I and I'm
sure most of us on FW would find alignment with Sennet's thoughts and
conclusions and it would be redundant to go through this posting because he
