Remember a few years back when the Russian satalite crashed in the northern part of Canada, the satalite had a nuclear reactor and it was feared that the fuel would not burn up compleatly on re-entry and it might contanimate its landing zone. At the time it was stated that most of the Russian satalites used nuclear reactors for their power because they do not have the capability to use solar power as the US does. Martin J.
