I think the point is that quite a few modern countries - Russia, Japan, China - would love to explore the area a bit under a guise of international cooperation. Water bombing is not going to help one iota with any radiation problem.
I can tell you that a hazardous waste team left from Albuquerque yesterday. I think it's more likely that we have a chemical burning problem, rather than a radiation problem. That doesn't bother me NEAR as much as the potential for a biological containment issue. ----- Original Message ----- From: d.linen <[email protected]> To: <[email protected]> Sent: Friday, May 12, 2000 9:16 PM Subject: Re: CS>(OT) Russians Offer Water Bombers > I think it's great that they offered their help.
