2-Mrs. Charles Mott Your ites (2) is another way to state item (1).
The only significant Item (3) in your letter concerns radioactive vastes.
storage of radioactive materials involved in operating the Davis-Besse plant will be the storage of the used (solid) nuclear fuel for a few r.onths Storage is until it is cool enough to ship to a fuel reprocessing plant.There will be within the plant in.a controlled and monitored arrangement.
