Re: Nuclear Waste,Science, & Politics: Regaining Virginity?
Dear Franz,
Thank you for the Cordoba citation. Personally, I know very well the place,
I have the opportunity to discuss in details the El Cabril Low-level
radioactive waste Project, by 1990, and of course on what you have commented
off topic.
Jose
