the ticking clock symbol with hands approaching midnight...Cirincione is
billed as  "expert on nuclear materials..." - B.S. psychology, 10 years
later MS Foreign Service Program, no work except in political
circles...President of Ploughshares Fund - "a firm involved in security and

Here is where to comment on ABC's "Breaking News" story about the second
reactor at Fukushima having a cooling problem

Read this 4 page story too - it is probably the text of this evening's ABC
Evening News broadcast - what do you members know about the "experts" that
ABC has consulted -

Edwin Lyman, a senior scientist with the Union of Concerned Scientists.
Joseph Cirincione, president of the Ploughshares Fund ( does not appear to
be a scientist - see below)

Ploughshares Fund is the largest grantmaking foundation in the U.S.

we have identified and supported the smartest people with the best ideas for
preventing the spread and use of nuclear weapons and building stability in
regions where nuclear weapons may be factors.
