Re: Energy Dept. Halts Contaminated Nickel Sale

You make it sound as though it is ridiculous to have to protect fifty year 
old technology.  

Might I remind you of two facts.  (1) Personnel inspecting Iraq's process 
plant's after Desert Storm said "they had worked in buildings exactly like 
the ones there with very small differences at various sites in the US 
program."  Iraq got the blueprints from "fifty year old technology";  (2) It 
worked for the US to build a bomb, so fifty year old technology or last years 
technology, if you can use it to speed up someone's making a bomb, why not 
spend a little extra time, and destroy it properly.

Thank you,

Michael D. Kent RRPT
