Nuclear Smoke Screen

Original posting, July 2006

Windscale (Sellafield)

Back to the construction game again.

Where do the contracts go?

Where else, but the US, of course: Bechtel, Fluor and CH2M Hill.

British Nuclear Fuels recently 'disposed' of nuclear reactor specialist Westinghouse to Toshiba of Japan.

Inept or calculated timing for the sale?

Perfect timing in view of 'proposed' building. Sell the expertise and then buy back to build. So, who buys (British tax payer) and who provides?

Design of this scenario is quite clear.

Prescott may well be an obnoxious piece of work, but he makes a ‘great’ smoke screen.

A diversion.

Nobody notices!
