If one compares the population center around Chernobyl and then 

compare to Indian Point, and other reactors, say around Chicago, I 

think that there could be more significant damage and injury. While 

we haven't had anything comparable to Chernobyl, TMI being a mild 

kitten in comparison, one can't say categorically that there can't be 

anything worse out there. Well, I know that you are saying that, but, 

we don't know what could happen, under the most adverse 

circumstances.
