re: Western Power Outage Thread

[MVala@USCCMAIL.uscc.bms.com]

     This tread started out with the question of whether the availability
     of nuclear power in the western states had anything to do with the
     recent power outage suffered by the area.  It lead to replies about
     the characteristics of gas and coal fired plants and now we're talking
     about retail wheeling and deregulation of the utilities.

     IMHO, all of this has nothing to do with radiation safety or
     protection which is what this forum is about.  Please kill this thread
     or take it someplace else.

     Thanks,
