 Hello again radsafers.

I have a wall map of all the Superfund sites in the US - the state of New Jersey has so many Superfund sites it is enlarged and off-set.  It is just plane crowded with them (Norm maybe you should move out like I did - only kidding Norm)!  My point is that there are a lot of industries (chemical, refineries,  house paint, ie. source of lead, pharmeceutical, etc..) other than the nuclear plants.  These non-nuclear plants far, by magnitudes, outnumber the nuclear ones.  Maybe we are just out of focus in not adding them to ths dicussion.  Or maybe they should be the discussion!

                         Best regards to all,

                            Tom
