[ RadSafe ] Reactor in the Basement!

[Flanigan, Floyd]

No ... The 'positive yield' question was rhetorical and meant to point out the issue that, while there may be a starburst in the containment chamber, it is only there because of the great INPUT of electrical energy. The so called plasma does not have an excess energy above that which is required to maintain it, so it is basically a really cool, inefficient table lamp. Maybe Spencers in the mall could carry them in the black light poster section?

Should I draw from this and other postings the conclusion that some persons
on RADSAFE believe in the original message? SHAME ON YOU!
