AW: [ RadSafe ] nuclear power is nowhere near green (was Re:Nukes areGreen)

[Franz Schönhofer]

Bob,
Ever since I joined RADSAFE I have sent my contributions from my private
e-mail accounts, which I pay from my private money, especially now when
I am retired. 
But I totally agree with you, that employees should use their private
accounts for RADSAFE, unless they really post on behalf of their
companies. (Another question: Would this comply to RADSAFE rules?) I
never needed a disclaimer - since everything was posted from my private
account.

Best regards,

Franz
