Mr. Lochbaum

[Tim <tstead@ntirs.org>]

I sent an email to Mr. Lochbaum asking why he thought

that spent fuel could explode and if he was a degreed

nuclear engineer.



He said that he is a college graduate with a nuclear

engineering degree.



He also said that he never stated that spent fuel

would explode but only that the consequences would be

equal to a 10 kiloton device.



What he was referring to were only the radiological

doses to people and not all of the devastation that

accompanies a nuclear bomb.



So, by simply saying "conseqnces" and not qualifying

it AT ALL, a reasonably prudent person would think of

all the consequences of a nuclear explosion - all the

devastation, demolished buildings, flesh ripped/burned

from bones, etc.



This is a clear example of how failing to clarify

one's statement and tell the entire truth is nothing

more than a deliberate attempt to misleed people. 

Where I come from, that is called a lie.



Did I hear someone say that the UCS is supposed to be

unbiased and neutral?



Tim
