Have you heard of a company called RockTron? www.rktron.com They have developed new technology designed to recycle 100% of both fresh and stored fly ash (coal ash) with no waste byproducts. They have just built they new plant in the UK recycling 800,000 tonnes p.a. This could be the solution to preventing future TVA disasters and could even help clean up the mess. If you'd like to know more, email me at: duncan.richardson@jdi.co.uk Kind regards, Duncan Hi Amanda,
