Britain’s Civilian Nuclear Program Is Not a Stealth Military Program
Last week, the New York Times published an Op-Ed by
Peter Wynn Kirby, a social anthropologist at Oxford, alleging that the
United Kingdom promoted the Hinkley Point C project as “a stealth
initiative to bolster Britain’s nuclear deterrent.” The author’s
argument is entirely dependent on a “painstaking study” authored by the Science Policy Research Unit (SPRU) at the University of Sussex. While
the study offers up self-described circumstantial evidence for links
between British civilian and military nuclear suppliers, their main
argument is that there can be no other explanation for the United
Kingdom’s support for nuclear power. http://thebreakthrough.org/index.php/voices/britains-civilian-nuclear-program-is-not-a-stealth-military-program
