Where is that darn uranium?

It's tempting to get in a few licks against Bob Glynn, who announced the other day that he's stepping down as chief exec of PG&E Corp.

But Glynn, who made millions while overseeing the bankruptcies of two of the San Francisco parent company's divisions, will be sticking around as chairman for another year. So there's no hurry.

Instead, let's focus today on something else that PG&E would prefer you didn't think about -- its failed efforts to track down highly radioactive materials that have been missing for months.

The utility is now preparing to bring in an outside firm to carefully vacuum a storage pool containing nuclear waste. It's a last-ditch effort to turn up the missing uranium before finally calling off the search next month.


Worst thing, is that they came up with more uranium in the pool than what was lost!
