Editorial: Uranium research with Virginia Tech
No conflict at Tech
A nuclear engineering program at Virginia Tech shouldn't impact its involvement in uranium study.
There is ample reason to be disappointed in, and wary of, the planned study of uranium mining safety in Virginia -- most notably the fact that the corporation wanting to do that mining is paying for the study.
But it is wrong to allege, as some critics of the study have, that Virginia Tech has a conflict of interest in its assigned role of managing the money and coordinating with the National Academy of Sciences on the study.
