Re: Nuclear energy can't solve global warming

oak ridge has the oldest reactor ever made, it still has one for production
of bobm grade material too. at y-12 thats the plase where it is put together
and fined tuned, i couldn't get into some parts of that place, but i have
seen enough to tell me those in oak ridge sure haqve a dangerous place to
live. you can still see today where the entrance to town is with gaurd gates
and all. alot bought the old houses and redid them inside and out, only
difference in the houses now is the paint and or covering material.
