Nuclear Train Accident

[enielsen@webspun.com (Erik C. Nielsen)]

There certainly has been a lot of "nuke" news lately and as usual most is
not favorable.  For example:

*** Train carrying spent nuclear fuel derails in France

A train carrying spent nuclear fuel came off the rails in eastern
France close to the border with Germany and Luxembourg Tuesday but
there was no radiation leakage, French and German officials said. An
official said the train, en route to a reprocessing plant in Britain,
derailed near the border at Schenge, but that there were no
radioactive leaks. In Germany, ecology groups reacted with horror,
saying it proved what they had always said--that nuclear shipments
were potentially lethal and should be stopped. For the full story, see
