NOW, HERE'S SHOAL OIL'S ANSWER MAN TO SET THE RECORD STRAIGHT ON NUCLEAR ENERGY!

MR. ANSWER MAN, ISN'T IT POSSIBLE THAT A NUCLEAR PLANT COULD ACCIDENTLY BLOW UP?

THAT 'S CALLED A MELTDOWN, AND TO PREVENT ONE FROM EVER HAPPENING, SHOAL RESEARCH HAS DEVELOPED THE EMERGENCY CORE COOLING SYSTEM, OR ECCS!

SAY, DIDN'T THAT THING FAIL 6 OUT OF 6 TESTS A WHILE AGO?

YES. BUT SHOAL TECHNICIANS ARE CONSTANTLY LOOKING FOR NEW AND BETTER WAYS TO SOLVE PROBLEMS THAT OCCUR, FOR YOUR NUCLEAR FUTURE!

I READ THAT THE COLUMBIA RIVER HAS BEEN CONTAMINATED.  TRUE?

EXAGGERATED.  EXPERTS AT SHOAL'S ATOMIC WASTE REPROCESSING PLANT ON THE COLUMBIA SAY THAT DESPITE A FEW LEAKS THE WATER IS AT OR NEAR WHAT WE CONSIDER TO BE A SAFE RADIATION LEVEL.  THEY JUST DON'T RECOMMEND SWIMMING OR FISHING.

WHERE WILL YOU KEEP THE WASTES FOR THOUSANDS OF YEARS?

NO PROBLEM.  RIGHT NOW SHOAL LOBBYISTS ARE IN WASHINGTON, PUSHING FOR DUMP SITES IN SOME OF OUR NATIONAL PARKS • IN ISOLATED AREAS VISITED BY ONLY A FEW BACKPACKERS A YEAR.

I HEARD THAT THE CANCER RATE NEAR NUKE PLANTS IS CLIMBING FAST.  WHAT ABOUT THAT?

WE FEEL THAT A SLIGHT INCREASE IN THE CANCER RATE IS A SMALL PRICE TO PAY FOR PLENTY OF CLEAN, CHEAP..

"A SLIGHT INCREASE?"  DO YOU CALL A 70% RISE IN LEUKEMIA IN THAT PENNSYLVANIA COUNTY SLIGHT?

LISTEN, SMART GUY -- YOU WANT THE JUICE TO FLOW WHEN YOU PLUG IN YOUR TOASTER IN 20 YEARS?  SACRIFICES MUST BE MADE!

AT SHOAL, WE'RE INVOLVED.  AND SOMETHING WE DO AFFECTS YOU, EVERY DAY!

NOW, BACK TO TODAY'S HORROR FEATURE, KING KONG.....
