• We described the Iberian lynx as a “big cat” (2 August, p 6). It is not a member of the Pantherinae (big cats like tigers) but of the Felinae (all smaller cats, including domestic cats).
• We said that “states that relinquish any ambition to build conventional nuclear stations will be given the opportunity to buy the new secure reactors” (2 August, p 34). The deal offered by the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership is actually that the countries agree not to build fuel-enrichment and reprocessing plants, in exchange for a guaranteed supply of fuel for their existing power plants – and then for the “reactor in a box” when or if it becomes available.
• An editing error had us saying that the Rocket Racing League was founded in 1995 (26 July, p 29). It was actually 2005.
