I am curious to know where Ms. Brinkley received her training in Health
Physics and Epidemiology. Surely he was a classmate of someone out there.

These semi-tongue in cheek thoughts are mine and mine alone..........

	Consider one other point: Power Outages.  If, as noted below, the infant
mortality rate drops the second the plant is closed, then such rates also
should drop the second the plant goes down for a refueling or scheduled
maintenance.  Why hasn't that been shown to occur?
