Ken. Sounds like you're outta here for Xmas. If so, happy holidays to you and yours. But damn, I can't resist it : - )...... Just in time for Y2K........ NUCLEAR REACTOR AT CHERNOBLY REACTIVATED AGAIN December 7, 1999 Associated Press reported: ?Officials at the Chernobyl nuclear power plant have reactivated the plant's only working reactor, which was shut down last week because of a leak, officials said Monday. Chernobyl operators found a tiny hole in the reactor's backup cooling system during an examination Dec. 1 and turned it off. No radiation leaks were reported. The reactor was restarted again Saturday and was working at 75 percent of capacity by Monday. The reactor had been working for just five days before the leak was discovered. It had been off line before that for five months for repairs. Plant officials insist the reactor is safe, even though Western governments and environmental groups have urged the former Soviet republic to shut it down for good. Chernobyl's reactor No. 4 exploded in 1986, sending a radioactive cloud over much of Europe. That reactor is covered by a steel-and-concrete sarcophagus that is currently undergoing repairs. A 1995 agreement between Ukraine and the Group of Seven leading industrialized nations said the plant should be closed by the year 2000. But Ukraine has said it doesn't have the $1.2 billion needed to finish construction of two new reactors to replace the output that would be lost by closing Chernobyl..." --------------------------------------------------------------------------------
