To think that we are dependent upon the Norwegians to do this research to make sure that now these aging plants do not endanger the public is a little bit frightening.

We have our own research reactors in the United States. We have our own brilliant scientists here in the United States.

I think they do have the capacity. I think they do.

But my side of the argument is apocalyptic.

There must be a compelling reason for this and we should hear that reason.

I cannot imagine what you saw 15 years ago.

I think it is appropriate that we take a look at where we are and where we are heading, and evaluate how we can achieve our objectives.
