- While you're at it, please explain what you mean by the "chances of a meltown
- from a CANDU are 1 in 17." Is this supposed to mean over the course of a
- year or for a certain number of operating hours? Is this supposed to apply
- for any specific CANDU, or all CANDU's together? This statement says
- nothing until you define the sample space.
