It is horrible. After Chernobyl tragedy, after such plays as Sarcophag, and movie China Syndrome, etc., etc.. the construction of nuclear power plant in Clinton, Illinois, is considered to be the best and "welcomed' solution of the shortage of power problem. When and where would happen if not the end of this suicidal hysteria, but at least a slight remission? |
