There are apparently some people around the world who point to efforts to locate nuclear facilities underground as prima facie evidence that they are being built as part of a covert weapons program. The fact that the owner clearly states - repeatedly - that they goal is commercial nuclear power plant operation does not seem to deter those who are certain that the owner MUST be hiding something or he would not have decided to build underground.<br /><br />I trust you get my allusion.Rod Adamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03652375336090790205noreply@blogger.com
