(Which is why its codename during the manhattan project is "The Hill"). But sadly it is very bureaucratic.<br /><br />You also have a point about how much government intervention it takes to run nuclear operations.Joseph Smidthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02583891162785742138noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4212234230338648875.post-26428477357739510212010-02-02T07:54:49.306-08:002010-02-02T07:54:49.306-08:00The cost of living at LANL is pretty good too.

So the atmosphere is different from the typic U al college.<br /><br />As for nuclear power, while I'm a fan and most people don't realize reactor designs have advanced over the 60s there are problems. The first is the huge subsidies they require. Give that level of govermental help I seriously wonder if large scale solar isn't a better investment. Especially when one considers the inevitable lawsuits against nuclear.Clark Goblehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03876620613578404474noreply@blogger.com
