From Bill Courtney
NASA’s belief that its nuclear-powered rocket project can piggyback on an
assumed softening in public attitudes to nuclear power is fatally flawed
(7 July, p 4).
If attitudes to nuclear power are changing, then the last thing the
nuclear power industry wants is for sensible public debate to be distorted by
worries about nuclear rockets exploding.
Anti-nuclear activists should speak out against this unnecessary project.
Pro-nuclear power environmentalists should protest even louder.
