       03/05/1994 - Cars and Uranium
       
       Dr. Moira Gunn speaks with Warren Brown, syndicated columnist for the
       Washington Post. Mr. Brown talks about the American car industry, the
       relationship between technology and federal regulations, and the
       international "cross-breeding" of car models. Nominated in 1993 for a
       Pulitzer Prize because of his industry reporting, his latest book is
       "All American Cars and Trucks."
       
       Dr. Gunn also speaks with Dr. David Rossin. Dr. Rossin is a former
       assistant secretary of energy for nuclear energy and the immediate
       past president of the American Nuclear Society. He was formerly the
       director of the Nuclear Safety Analysis Center at the Electric Power
       Research Institute. Dr. Rossin discusses the recent agreement between
       the United States and Russia whereby the United States will finance
       the building of a Russian factory to convert weapons-grade uranium
       from Russian nuclear bombs to uranium suitable for use as fuel in
       American nuclear power plants.
