What really annoys me about the Price Anderson act is that the utility
has its liability limited to 1 billion dollars (I think).  Yet, the
damn plant costs 4-5 billion (or more).  At least, the liability ought
to be AT LEAST the construction costs of the plant, although I really
agree that the government ought to leave insurance to Lloyds and the
Rock, and protection to the Mafia.  I don't question spending the money
on research, as I beleive research is the basis of new economic activity.
