...manufacturers for cities to pursue, the bass business looks pretty good. "You've got to go find something that drives tourism, which drives jobs and incremental sales revenues without impacting the infrastructure," Hagale says. Bass Pro is retail's answer to a chip-fab or an auto plant...
...light-water reactor. No specific dates for disarmament have been set, and barely hours passed before Pyongyang and Washington were sniping at each other over the details. North Korea declared that the U.S. "should not even dream" that it would dismantle its nuclear programs before receiving a new plant. But for the first time since the U.S. accused North Korea of breaking a 1994 accord freezing its nuclear weapons program three years ago, there is some hope that the standoff on the Korean peninsula can be resolved.

It assumes that if North Korea were allowed light-water power plants, the presence of international inspectors would preclude illicit bomb-making. But a study completed last year by my organization (the Nonproliferation Policy Education Center in Washington, D.C.) detailed how a country such as North Korea could divert spent or fresh reactor fuel from a large light-water reactor to a small, hidden reprocessing or enrichment plant without inspectors finding out in time to block the material from being made into bombs. The U.S. State...
