RE: Hanford Explosion
Hey Rey The Fed Man..... how things going in the Gov Sector? Family
used to the Tri-cities yet?
Palo Verde is going pretty good. I just left the RP world and joined
the licensing group here at PVNGS. Gail Good is out here this week
for an EPLAN inspection. It is nice to be able to stay in contact
with some of the old RV folk.
Gotta get go......

Al,
Thanks for volunteering to post info that RadSafers can read from
someone other
than "armchair gumshoe" sources. Being the lead investigator on the
accident
investigation board, it is inappropriate for me to comment in a public
forum
until our investigation is complete. But I appreciate someone close
to the
source willing to volunteer confirmed information for the benefit of
our Radsafe
newsgroup. Again, Thanks.
