There is every chance, Xeno...
That if we concentrate on using nuclear energy instead of consuming the planet's limited resources, we just may live a lot longer!

You are so right, Ariel, in so many ways...
I really look forward to your gloves-off post. Perhaps between the two of us
old farts (I mean
older gentlemen) we can make a bit of a difference! Take a moment to follow up on my
interview results during the past few days.

The older I get ( and boy! am I old! ) the more convinced I become that in our own, avowedly educated and perceptive way, we are in fact as ignorant as medieaval peasants.
We've been soundbited into a sort of unthinking trance, in a new Age of Unreason, and mischievous people with their own half-baked ( or downright lunatic ) agendas fill us with spurious guilt.
Over political correctness, race, inclusivity of minorities, global warming etc, we have become a race of New Age Flagellants, constantly beating our breasts and wailing Mea culpa! Mea culpa! Mea maxima culpa!
At least we would ; if we weren't so bloody ignorant that we no longer recognise Latin.
One of these days I'll take off the kid gloves, and tell you what I reallly think of all this hysteria!
Thanks for the posts!

Hi Robert
Good to hear no real harm was done, but I suppose, apart from people who were probably just looking to make money by suing if any harm had been found to have been done, perhaps the main significance of this incident was to show that the system was fallible, which was worrying in the case of nuclear power. Since then, of course, there is the danger of terrorist attack which can be resisted but never completely dismissed. Good and informative read, nonetheless - thanks.
