The Angra 2 nuclear reactor dome at right is seen in Angra dos Reis, Brazil, in this photo taken November 24, 1998. Delayed for more than a decade by cost overruns and safety concerns, the Angra 2 reactor at last will be finished. Critics say that the location of the plant, in a scenic bay west of Rio de Janeiro is an environmental hazard. They claim that the functioning Angra 1 reactor, the cilinder shaped building at left, was built on unstable crumbling stone, not on bedrock.
