Hi Mark Adams; I doubt that anyone with serious standing in the scientific community is suggesting that prions are not destroyed by temperatures as high as 1500 centigrade. The post you linked to continued: "Trials,carried out in test rigs at two of Britain’s Power stations have amazed scientists by showing that strands of material directly related to the prion remained. With the current test programme it would take at least two years to establish whether the material still posed a threat to health." So it is not as doomie as your abbreviation of it. I have no doubt that "strands of material" remain, but the carbon is long gone. This world is eventually going to kill each of us individually, but not all of us together. (G) Perhaps the essential question is whether one would prefer to go alone, or with 400 screaming people on an airplane. -- Carl
