For your information, this license plate made it to about page 10 in the

Austrian boulevard newspaper "Kronenzeitung". The text is "Controversial are

the new license places for the US-state of Nevada. They hail nuclear tests

in the past in the desert areas. Currently the people there fight a planned

nuclear final repository."



Best regards,
