Decisions on our nuclear energy programme have to be made against a background of international power politics. To reduce the danger of weapons proliferation President Carter seeks a slow-down in two fields where Britain is a world leader. These are fuel reprocessing, which separates plutonium-the material of the Nagasaki bomb - from nuclear wastes, and fast breeder reactors, which burn up that plutonium but can also make more and more of it from a form of uranium that is useless in our present reactors. Some countries urgently need that more efficient use of their fuel.
In Britain, with a 20-year oil bonanza to tide us over, we have time to think. Will the ' alternatives ' of solar, wind and wave provide enough power by then? Should we try to win more coal and burn that instead? Can we simply cut back on our demands? Do we need plutonium-power?
Public involvement in decisions on nuclear energy is hampered by technical complexity. And when facts are difficult to understand, emotion reigns supreme. In Britain's own power game more and more of the moves look like a forced response to the needs of the moment, but many are immediately blocked by opposing interests. Isn't it time for a grand strategy to be developed? Reporter
