Neal Miller Quotations

There are other galaxies that are likely to be the same size as this one that have black holes of similar mass. However, their black holes are quiet -- they're not putting out the large amounts of energy we see in this one. We're left to wonder just why this one is so active.

We plan on starting our clean-up efforts in about three weeks after getting our permits from the county.

This thing looks like a quasar in VLA images, but quasars come in big galaxies, not little ones like this.

This will stop the plume from moving. We are using nature to help nature.

We are waiting for county officials to determine how to proceed (with the bottled water program). We still plan to help cover costs.

We do not want them to think we can afford to buy them all out.

An IDNS report of tests results four days later states clearly that no cobalt 60 or other fission products were in that water.

A small amount of Cobalt 60 was found near the middle of the plant property in the top 6 inches of soil near the vacuum breaker valve that spilled water in 2000. The finding was reported to the NRC and IDNS and none of the cobalt 60 flowed off the property or entered the groundwater.

This galaxy is a rare find -- a tiny galaxy that is still building up the mass of its black hole. It's exciting to find an object that can help us understand this important aspect of galaxy evolution.

I am proud to announce we will be fishing this year for the Make a Wish Foundation. The tournament is set for Saturday, May 13 at Braidwood Lake. We have set a goal of granting two wishes (approximately $5,000 each).
