Some more irrelevance.

You'll see some coverage in the press of an anti-nuclear protest in Austria. Austria? That's right! A country with no nuclear power plants. Well, no OPERATING nuclear power plants.

Austria almost had one; the Tullnerfeld generating station, which was a Kraftwerk Union BWR (2100 MWt / 692 MWe) whose construction began in 1972 but which was never started up. A public vote cancelled its operation in 1978.

Austria amended its constitution to ban all nuclear power plant construction back in 1999.

So why are we concerned with this protest rally -- which only had 2000 attendees? Even the much-ballyhooed Tokyo rally doubled this in number, and those people are a lot closer to the action, as it were.

Totally irrelevant.
