Re: Andy Karam on NPR

Why would you expect anyone who does not understand

the technical details nuclear reactors to know about

make-up water?  How much do you know about the

operations of a tomakac fusion reactor?  I could

describe it, but I am certainly not qualified to tell

you about the design of the magnetic confinement

field.



It is important to ensure that your audience,

technical and non-technical, pro-nuclear and

anti-nuclear, are clear about what you are talking. 

We may have known about the make-up water, but would

your spouse have from listening to Andy?



By the way, when were you at AFFRI?  I was there from

1978 to 1982, and 1987 to 1990.
