When you fly in from TX, you'll probably see the one near where I live...it's Salem & Hope Creek Nuclear Power Plant. As a matter of fact, PSE&G just requested to purchase an additional 64 acres to build another plant....most people around here aren't happy - I think it's just fine. Better than burning coal any day (although, I would prefer wind energy, but this IS Jersey!).

Well, we're driving, believe it or not, not flying. Looks like we'll pass within 15 miles of the plant, probably not close enough to spot it.

RADAR includes the acronym RADIO, thus producing a 2-level acronym. My question was if anyone know of a 3-level acronym -- one where the first acronym includes a term that's an acronym, which itself includes a third acronym.

But to stick with the theme, what about CONTROL and KAOS?

Neither CONTROL or KAOS are acronyms but rather products of the fertile imaginations of Mel Brooks and Buck Henry. On an aside, I saw Bernie Koppel (Siegfried) in one of the last episodes of Monk. Still looked good. Sadly, I think only Bernie, Barbara Feldon (agent 99) and Dick Gautier (Hymie the robot) are still with us. While we're on spy acronyms; what about SMERSH and THRUSH? NO FAIR GOOGLING. :p:

SMERSH: SMERt' SHpionam (English: Death to Spies.) This was an actual, real world organization, part of the Red Army NKVD (Narodnyy Komissariat Vnutrennikh Del - English: People's Commissariat for Internal Affairs,) even before it was used as a nemesis organization for James Bond's version of MI-6.

Actually, Grumpy, he was an English assassin for SPECTRE. Rosa Kleb, the female villain, had, in fact, been a SMERSH agent, but she had defected to SPECTRE before the events of From Russia With Love. She was the one who picked Red Grant out to assassinate Bond, with Tatiania Romanova and the Lektor as bait.

(And the fact that I had to use Wikipedia only to get the correct spelling of Lektor shows that this is one of my all time favorite Bond films.)
