15. Still missing the point, eh?
Edited on Tue Jul-20-10 02:40 PM by FBaggins
You're acting as if nobody in the nuclear industry ever lies... when I said just the opposite.

I just draw your attention to the fact that the source you keep touting here has his own problems with the truth... his own profit motive tainting his credibility... and his own habit of dodging direct questions.

In a recent VT Yankee hearing, for instance, he was asked to compare the radiation from leaking tritium to some source that could provide a benchmark (x-rays/background radiation/whatever)... and he continually dodged the question.

Do you think it's because he doesn't know the answer?

He has a business (in addition to teaching high school/community college math). The business profits from providing a service. The service is creating a framework justification for shutting down nuclear plants. He's perfectly willing to obfuscate and lie to expand that business.
