“These new reactors would all
operate at high temperatures, improving their efficiency. And they would
include simplified safety features that do not rely on sophisticated backup
systems or experienced operators – all are, in principle, ‘meltdown proof’ and
can cool themselves down in the even of an accident with minimal, if any, human
intervention…
Expert agree
that reactors will need to be a lot cheaper to run. And to sway a
nuclear-averse public, the next generation of reactors will need to produce
much less radioactive waste at terrorist-proof facilities.”
My
paraphrase
Some
expected general features of the new
nuclear reactors are : high temperature operation to improve productivity, easy
safety operations, low-cost, less radio-active waste, can withstand terrorist
attack, can do automatic emergency measures. (Butler, 2001)

“In any one nation, there are
both very wealthy and very poor individuals and families. When sociologists
conduct research on these disparities, they frequently analyze secondary data
that originally were collected by the World Bank and the United Nations. These
data focus on quality-of-life indicators such as wealth; income; life
expectancy; health; sanitation; the treatment of woman; and education for
high-income, middle-income and low income nations.”

My Summary
There are
poor and rich people everywhere in the world. Sociologists usually measure the
difference between them with “quality-of-life indicators” data from the World
Bank and the United Nations.
