[ RadSafe ] Beyond Nuclear Claims after Washington Post Article

[Maury]

I'm not certain but somehow I feel just a tad suspicious that 
BeyondNuclear might be opposed to electricity production by nuclear 
means. Do you suppose? Think I too will drop a line to the WashPost 
thanking them for their editorial. I really am sorry to see Japan and 
Germany moving away from nuclear power plants.
Best.
