Jose,
May I add to your mail that there was a few years ago an international
conference on radioactive waste repositories, held in Cordoba, Spain.
Its outcome is well documented in the proceedings, which anybody
interested in it might retrieve from the IAEA web-sites.
I have been recently (about a month ago) in Cordoba again, showing my
mother (80 years old) the Mezquita (mosque), the outline of the old
city, which has traditions from the old Arab "occupied" area of Southern
Spain and the even more the old Andalucia. Cordoba was an international
scientific, medical and philosophical meeting point of Arabs, Jews and
Christians at these times, positive to any religious opinion. Scholars
from all over Europe and the then Arab world came to study there. In
Europe we would call this a "liberal" opinion, but I learnt that
"liberal" is nowadays in the USA a "four-letter word".
So, off topic, Jose, let us hope for a similar development - but where?
