	--The cost of disposal for nuclear power is only 0.1
cents/KW-hour, even with all the political escalation, so this can never
be a consideration. It is this very low cost that allows all the
ridiculous attention to be paid to this problem. Before all this "unsolved
problem" propaganda took over, the cost was less than 0.01 cents/KW-hour.
