fire in the midst of gunfire, not a good idea. but we should remember as i say, we go back to 1986, there was a terrible crisis at chernobyl, it released a huge amount of radioactivity, it actually changed the weather and the growing patterns all over a great swath of russia, ukraine, and much of western europe. so nuclear power plants in principle contain enough material such that if there's a fire in the cooling facilities that can release a lot of very dangerous radioactivity and if there's a melt down at the reactor, that can produce a huge release of radioactivity, and god knows there's enough problems in ukraine without a nuclear catastrophe on top of it. >> how -- how and again, this
