Volume 3 Number 3
Fall, 1994

Last issue's article on the DOE's plutonium inventory elicited support for IEER's effort to educate the public on technical issues.

The description of the plutonium packaging and disposal problem was presented clearly and objectively. A very complex problem was made understandable. We in the nuclear business often have difficulty communicating effectively with our non-technical colleagues on such an issue.

The humor in our last issue also provoked several comments from readers:

Thanks for your newsletter, especially the jokes...a welcome relief!

The attached page [Dr. Egghead: "Increase Your Jargon Power"] degrades your publication. Seldom do I write any fellow editor with such a criticism, but I mean to be constructive.

Thank you for your thoughtful, witty and fact-filled magazine...Technoweenies unite!
