The usual interpretation is that "all kinds of awful outlying events will happen so energy sources just aren't safe!" The book has a deep interest in reilience, but that is rarely mentioned. Glad to see Helius' comment!Meredith Angwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737538041807740424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-74167004640837951772011-07-25T15:52:44.254-04:002011-07-25T15:52:44.254-04:00I was expecting them to make a mini-reload with a ...I was expecting them to make a mini-reload with a smaller amount of fresh fuel (or buy some part-used fuel from a shut-down reactor) but I guess they felt they were best just going ahead with the promise of an early trial date (and retry the injunction if the trial moves).Joffanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18025437863119781181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-109867078441552212011-07-25T14:37:10.217-04:002011-07-25T14:37:10.217-04:00Helius.

Our daughter and Nassim Taleb had the same main editor at Random House, which is why Taleb came to the party, I think.<br /><br />Great recommendation!Meredith Angwinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02737538041807740424noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-17133873421895138192011-07-25T14:26:00.723-04:002011-07-25T14:26:00.723-04:00Just by reading your blog entry here I'll bet ...Just by reading your blog entry here I'll bet you'd like the book: "The Black Swan" by Nassim Nicholas Taleb. It indicates yet another set of reasons to favor Nuclear Energy and Nuclear Energy Research. <br /><br /> Thank you very much for your writing regarding VT. Yankee and Nuclear Power; I really appreciate your blog and your sane perspective. It is one of my favorite "stops" on my Internet Browsing.Heliushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02176362452491669194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3033288879708780106.post-71170059635369102542011-07-25T14:22:38.690-04:002011-07-25T14:22:38.690-04:00No. It isn't.
