We show that the weak interactions will spread out the current to distances $r= (1/M_Z)\ln (I/M_Z)$, where $I$ is the magnitude of the current in the string. Consequences for the scattering of light by these strings is presented.7pages, UCI TR 93-28, LaTex with Revtex III macrosHigh Energy Physics - Phenomenologytext
