Going Critical -
Your Nuclear Future
At Three-Mile Island in Pennsylvania last March, nuclear disaster was very near. Now angry Americans, critical of an apparent threat to their safety, have forced their government to suspend the licensing of more nuclear power stations.
In Britain they tell us 'it cant happen here', but the nuclear industry's critics say that is simply because our new reactors don't really work at all. Even if they are safe, why are we about to build two more nuclear power stations when the one we started 14 years ago still isn't finished? Has Britain got its own, economic, nuclear disaster? .
Richard Lindley reports on the critical decisions that are now being made about our nuclear future.
