Those factors included plant designs that changed after construction began, a gigh underlying level of inflation that effected the whole economy, and changing regulations that forced major reactor redesigns half way through construction. Why is it that you anti-nuclear types never recognize the roots of the problem?Charles Bartonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01125297013064527425noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7597656451205429515.post-33861051950606789502009-06-30T14:24:38.355-05:002009-06-30T14:24:38.355-05:00In relation to dbakerpe's comment
