Matt,

So sorry for the confusion of semantics. I think that I should have 
stated 1 joule of energy released in 1 nanosecond = the ENERGY
of 1 joule released in 1 second because there is still a net total ener-
gy of 1 joule, any way you slice it, but there is 1 billion x the POWER
rate in the release of 1 joule of energy in 1 nanosecond as opposed
to the release of 1 joule of energy in 1 second. POWER = 
ENERGY/TIME  Sorry for the confusion that the first
posting may have caused. I knew what I meant but didn't state it
correctly.

David
