Quote of the month: The Turkish government is looking for a good place to build a nuclear
power plant. The envisaged area is at Akkuyu. In answer to questions about the nuclear waste
problem, the minister of environment, M. Tokar, declared: "
The total radioactive waste of all
nuclear power plants in the world can be kept and dumped in one truck". (Silence, October
