The December assessment of safety analyses found deficiencies in the 
lab's evaluation for Sandia's pulsed reactor facility - specifically, 
the team found it "not credible" that people at a nearby golf course 
or stables could be evacuated in time to avoid plumes of hazardous 
material that might be released
Just to set everyne straight:  the golf course and stables (the latter now 
unused) are well within the boundaries of Kirtland AFB, which is a closed base 
(you need a badge to get in the gate).  The only people using the golf course 
are Sandians and Air Force and retirees of those two agencies.  There is no 
public access or residence within miles of these facilities, or within miles of 
the pulsed power reactor either.
