Technically that's only half true, they're in the whole of Derby's backyard. :-) I still rememebr when they took the "A nuclear Free zone" sign down across the road from the plant.

You worked on them nukes, that skews your perception of risk vs other stuff. The largest industrial catastrophe was not nuclear related, after all, it was chemical related. :-) -- Leszek 'Leslie' Karlik NTV 650
