Like a Scene from Dante, the night sky south of Villahermosa is filled with a fiery glow. It comes from great gouts of flame that flare off natural gas from scores of wells dotting the steamy marshes, scrubs and jungles of the aptly named state of Tabasco in southeast Mexico. Every day, 300 million cu. ft. of gas, enough to supply the energy needs of Vermont for a month, are simply burned off, in part, because the U.S. Government refuses to pay the price that Mexico demands.

At the Kurchatov, for example, scientists seemed blissfully unconcerned as visiting journalists leaned against flimsy railings to gaze down into an open experimental pool reactor and marvel at the blue radiation glow that emanated from its fuel rods. While the radiation itself was under water and posed no hazard, a dropped camera or notebook, not to mention a reporter who might have fallen into the pool, could have contaminated the reactor and forced its shutdown...
