Letter: Letter: Nuclear capability

Published 23 December 1989

From FRANK ROBERTS

I read your editorial ‘Nobody’s fuel’ (18 November) with interest. I
found the absence of comment about nuclear power generation in France, Belgium,
Japan – and even Scotland – rather surprising. Are the generating authorities
in those countries an exception to the nobodies? Are you making the point
that nuclear power is unacceptable everywhere on Earth or only in those
countries with plenty of fossil fuels to burn such as Britain and the US?
Perhaps the point really is that the Anglo Saxon countries are no good at
nuclear power generation, whereas the French are good at it.
