included. I totally agree that source term and inventory are defi- 

 nitely not the same and a lot of physic chemistry material science 

 and engineering are between these two words. And I'm very happy 

 that together with my colleagues from Pacific Batelle Northwest 

 Laboratories and University of Alaska we feel that we have enough 

 expertise and desire to develop this project to mutual benefit of all 

 mankind. 



And fi*om what I heard here, I would like to make one short com- 

 ment that I am very pleased to hear fi'om public movements such 

 as Greenpeace who have done a good job directing attention to very 

 sensitive issues all over the world and in my country also. While 

 solving the problem, I would like to say once more that solution of 

 the problem is not so simple if the problem is complex enough. We 

 all should be very careful to find the right approach and right solu- 

 tion for complex problem, and we are ready to do it altogether. 

 Thank you.
