To continue a discussion that probably should be in net.politics but 
what the hell, the main reason that US newsmen cover American nuclear
mishaps is that if the reactor several miles north of New York City
blows up, endangering the entire 2*10**7+ people in the metropolitan
area, my mother father sister brother and various other relatives and
friends will be endangered.  If all the reactors in Russia blow up
simultaneously many million Russians will be endangered.  Now which
possibility is more important to me?
