Schools and nukes.

["D. Kosloff" <dkosloff@ncweb.com>]

There is a big elementary school about two miles from the Monticello BWR
plant, about half way between the plant and the town of Monticello.  It was
built several years after the plant started up.  Here in Perry we just
finished building a new high school and elementary school about 2 miles from
the Perry BWR Plant.  Before that the schools were a few hundred yards
farther away from the plant.  For many years the Perry students have
substantially outperformed the rest of the state and nation on standardized
tests.
