I have an interesting question on the subject - Does anyone know how long a coal fired power plant with the same generating capacity as the crippled Three Mile Island plant would have to run to release as much radioactivity as the TMI plant released during the accident there? Mail me the answer and please include references. I will post to the net if there is enough interest. Thank you. Mike Moroney ..decvax!decwrl!dec-rhea!dec-jon!moroney
