Estimated costs for the twin-reactors, which the Public Service Company of New Hamphire will operate, have risen from less than $900 million to $2.5 billion since construction began...
...European takeovers depended on local opposition to the nuclear plants. We too rely critically on the support of Seabrook residents. For a decade now, Seabrook citizens and people all over New England have been opposing the monstrous 1,200 megawatt twin reactors planned for the small New Hampshire coastal hamlet. Seabrook is just north of the Massachusetts border, less than an hour's drive from Boston. The Seabrook nukes are a very real threat to all of us. A meltdown there would destroy most of New Hampshire, parts of Maine, and the Boston metropolitan area. The Seabrook nukes are also...
...ordinary telescopes and detected by radio telescopes at those distances, quasars must radiate more energy than entire galaxies, which are giant islands of billions of stars. Now, while trying to explain what quasars are and how they radiate so much energy, astronomers have been confronted by yet another mystery: twin quasars...
...Nature report created a wave of excitement among scientists, and several teams focused their attention on the twin quasars. Among them were David Roberts, Perry Greenfield and Bernard Burke, all from M.I.T., who analyzed signals from the quasars received at the Very Large Array (VLA) antennas of the National Radio Astronomy Observatory near Socorro, N.M. What resulted was a radio map that, with one important exception, coincided with the images seen with the Kitt Peak telescope. The difference was that the sensitive radio antenna array discerned two jets of material that seemed to be shooting from one of the quasars...
...England expanded rapidly after it won certification in 1975 from the Civil Aeronautics Board. Perhaps too rapidly. It now struggles to maintain a schedule of 200 flights a day with scant working capital and a modest fleet of 20 propjet planes, which include its own 19-seat De Havilland Twin Otters and 48-passenger Fairchild 227s and two leased 50-seat Convair 580s. Seldom are there planes available for back-up use. So even though Air New England is classified in the same category as national carriers like Eastern and United, it continues to operate in much the same manner...
