Thoughts for Boston and NRC docs for Browns Ferry for the week of 4/6 - 4/13/13

I said it yesterday and I have to say it again. My thoughts go out to everyone affected by the tragedy in Boston yesterday. It is unfortunate that these things happen, but to anyone who contemplates creating such a mess, we will not be swayed. Life will go on and, in all likelihood, the perpetrators will be caught and dealt with.
