We lived in Woking, Surrey, in 1986 and a nuclear reactor visited us: <I visited one of the nukes. > It wasn't the whole reactor that visited, just the radioactive dust. The dust nucleated rain which then fell on my head while walking home from work one day. I didn't get a Geiger counter, but as the rain fell, I calculated that it must be about the right timing for the radioactive dust from Chernobyl. We can't donate blood because of living there then - mad cow disease aka bovine spongiform encephalopathy. Not a good year in some respects. Fortunately, only 4 of the six of us have had cancer so far. All survived it so far. Somewhat scarred and scared, but that's a good outcome. I do wonder what the shakiness I have is caused by - could be mad cow beginning... life is tough and then you die. But at least it's fun on the way. Mqurice
