YOUR ARTICLE INCLUDED ANALYSES FROM a Holtec consultant who reportedly predicted that a loss of primary cooling in a Millstone 1 fuel pool could result in a "slow boil." These analyses were made for a wholly artificial and improbable scenario of events. Pool temperatures in the real world seldom exceed lukewarm levels. The engineers, technicians and managers at Millstone have dedicated their careers to coaxing energy from the atom because they believe in the inherent safety and environmental benefits of nuclear power.

Charlie Broderick's performance as Bradley, the cynical and materialistic producer whose sole concern is getting the movie made within budget, is hilarious. Especially laughable is his convincing portrayal of a most miserable condition--a large, oozing sore on his posterior. This incapacitating boil grows and becomes a symbol for the problem-riddled film...
