      Which is what the ‘atomic energy commission’ is afraid of … but can’t get in to check on the safety of.
      After Chernobyl, no-one wants a repeat or something worse.
      Will be interesting to hear their sad tale of what happened, but we can’t expect truth.
      And they eliminated most of the experts seems to me.
