[ RadSafe ] Criticality

[Jim Darrough]

Jerry, I rarely comment here on Radsafe, since I do not hold MS or PhD
degrees, but I want to tell you that I am surprised about this comment. My
dealings with NRC people over the years were always positive. I am glad they
are there.

Regards, Jim Darrough

Two random thoughts---
1.   If criticality is not a possibility, why not just evacuate the area and

allow the mass to melt. What dire consequences could occur? The process
might be  a  reverse China Syndrome?
2. The US NRC should not become involved. Haven't the Japanese already been
punished enough?
