  17. =\= Pray tell, how do you know that?  It is well-documented
  18. that MetEd does not have measurements of the radiation released,
  19. in part because much more was released than their equipment
  20. was calibrated to detect.
  21.  
  22. =/= MetEd made a number of claims about the amount released in
  23. those first two days, each contradicting the other.  Eventually
  24. they announced that their records of the radiation releases
  25. during those first two days had been "lost."
