Then there's Trojan, which built on a bad foundation that caused cores and pretty much everything else to crack from the day it was opened. A safety record so notorious it became the basis for Springfield Nuclear Power Plant in The Simpsons. Not long after it came online, it was a candidate for replacement. Portland General Electric dynamited the cooling tower last fall, about ten years after the plant went offline and it's core buried in a salt flat in the Oregon desert. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
