From Phyllis Starkey MP, Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology
As Chair of the Board of the Parliamentary Office of Science and Technology (POST), I was disappointed to read your article quoting a leaked copy of POST’s forthcoming report on the risk of terrorist attacks at nuclear facilities.
It would not be appropriate for me to discuss the report in detail before it is published, but I would like to point out that your coverage gave only half the story, focusing on the worst possible consequences of an attack without examining its likelihood. When POST’s report is published I hope you will cover it in a less alarmist manner.
