studiot Posted January 3, 2021 Posted January 3, 2021 Thanks for that information. It just shows what an enormous waste of of public money the UK is making in buying at least two new but hopelessly outdated fission reactiors from the French. We never should have abandoned ZETA.

Yes, of course I do. My long memory also recalls the row over the US 'the need to know' agreement. And I notice that they are cooperating not with their staunchest ally, but another party.
