    The Canadian Nuclear FAQ is two years old. It has received over 12,000 hits since its debut in April 1996, and over 200 inquiries by email (many of which have made their way into the FAQ itself), from countries around the globe. Both the hit-rate and the email-rate have doubled in the FAQ's second year, which is nice to see. Many thanks to all those supporters out there, especially those with links to the CNF on their own website.
