   Joseph J. Mangano was the author of the Tooth Fairy project that has been ripped apart as badly flawed. I suspect this will be too, but not until it publicly damages nuclear power.

GC_Nuke,
Thanks for the post. I knew there would be a rebuttal out there somewhere, I just hadn't seen it yet.

FYI- The spell check thought rebuttel was a correct spelling, but I thought I had it wrong. Double checked with Webster and got rebuttal. I had to spell check spell check.

Interesting article but very flawed. Italy BTW had 4 nuke plants, I have several friends who used to work there. The last of them were shut down in the early 1990's I believe. The yahoo article said Italy had decided not to open their 1st nuke plant following the Fukishima disaster. I guess fact check is not one of their strong suits.
