It pours into the Irish Sea all the time from Sellafield in the UK. Not ideal I'll grant you, but not necessarily the end of the world either. Current reactor designs are essentially of post-WWII vintage. There are better, cleaner and safer ways to do nuclear fission, and someday we might actually attain the holy grail of fusion power. -- Alan Bourke alanpbourke (at) fastmail (dot) fm _______________________________________________ Post Messages to: [email protected] Subscription Maintenance: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profox OT-free version of this list: http://leafe.com/mailman/listinfo/profoxtech Searchable Archive: http://leafe.com/archives/search/profox This message: http://leafe.com/archives/byMID/profox/[email protected] ** All postings, unless explicitly stated otherwise, are the opinions of the author, and do not constitute legal or medical advice.
