Quote of the month.
A leading consultant for the British organisation responsible for radioactive waste, Nirex, Peter
Bretell, has suggested dumping radioactive wastes in south- west Africa - where there was no
people, no rain, and no water table. South-west Africa had just about the ideal conditions for a
nuclear dump. "Countries in Africa need the income. The income you could get is enormous - you
could virtually name your price" he commented.
