Nuclear Exchange in the Op-ed section of the Washington Post

ByRod Adams

Scott Peterson, one of the contributors to NEI Nuclear Notes, answered a July 6, 2005 piece by Peter Asmus titled “Nuclear Diosaur” with his own contribution in the July 12, 2005 edition titled “Wrong on Nuclear Power” (free registration required for the Post articles).

It will be interesting to see who else chimes in and how long the Post will continue to publish the exchange. Perhaps if we tell them that is the reason that we are reading their newspaper. . .
