Here the visitor will meet with hospitality and good humor as unflagging as the cool, dry trade winds...
...plant in Marcoule, near Avignon, scientists are using a simpler system called vitrification. The waste is allowed to cool off for five years, then mixed with borosilicate glass and hardened into a black, solid glass cylinder. Storage is easier because this cylinder occupies only one-sixth the volume of the waste in liquid form. French scientists reckon that if all the nuclear waste that the country generates in the next 20 years were formed into a solid glass cube, each side would measure 53 ft. in length. This glass is expected to resist corrosion and prevent seepage. Creating a waste...

Three other Communist countries are no longer dutiful Soviet satellites. Albania, from 1960 through 1978 a xenophobic bastion of Maoism in the Balkans, now scorns Peking, Washington and Moscow alike. Rumania, although economically and militarily tied to the Warsaw Pact, since 1966 has tried...
