   [1]This is kind of cute:

     FORSMARK, Sweden (Reuters) - It's not everyone's dream destination,
     but in Sweden thousands of visitors each year head to remote
     coastland to view the nation's nuclear power plants.
     ...
     Of Sweden's population of around nine million, almost three million
     have been to a Swedish nuclear plant -- some on school trips,
     others as passing tourists -- since they were first able to visit
     35 years ago, said Torsten Bohl, communications director at state
     firm Vattenfall, Forsmark's majority owner.
     "They see it's a large industrial complex, but nothing else -- and
     the people who work there are ordinary, not greenish," said Bohl.

   Not greenish, but perhaps [2]Greenish.
   I [3]doubt they'll be hosting any Jackson Browne concerts, though.
