Hi folks,

The WIPP event has got everyone excited. Here's my take on it.


*WIPP Is Still The Best And Only Choice For Nuclear Waste*

The only operating underground deep geologic nuclear waste repository had
its first minor accident on Valentine's Day. The amount of radiation
released into the environment was a million times less than any EPA action
levels, but to hear the outcry you'd think it was Chernobyl.
