There is a big difference between Canadian Technology in Nuclear Tech and US Nuclear Tech....I would not want to live within a hundred miles of a US Nuke Power Plant....but I would have no problems with a Canadian one 10 miles away. The big difference is that we had our major "Nuclear Accident" in the 50's, and We didn't let private industry set the standards...the Federal Government did, based upon the "Chalk River Incident". The Canadian CANDU technology is the safest in the world...even in 3rd World Countries that have them...like India. In the US, the various private nuke coupanies have succesfully lobied for lower standards, and very little checking by the government. Thus, they can get away with worse than murder...the destruction of people's families. ttyl Farrell 718499927771849992777184999277718499927771849992777184999277718 From: Kayla Block Area: Mundane To: Rose Dawn 25 Aug 93 02:37:50 Subject: Re: CHARLES TART UpdReq 93! just thought i'd let you know that i got your note. it would probably be best if i got your # some time closer to when i'll be down in san diego.
