Acknowledgments
I wish to express my heartfelt thanks to a good friend and collaborator, Leo Slaggie, deputy solicitor of the Nuclear Regulatory Commission. This book was a cooperative endeavor. It could not have been written without Leo's good counsel, many suggestions, and generous assistance. He has been involved with the project from its inceptionas legal and scientific advisor, critic, and editor. It has been an enormously happy and helpful association. Leo's uncommon intelligence, quick wit, and unfailing good humor have brightened my e-mail and have made the manuscript far more lively and interesting than it otherwise would have been.
