There is an ineluctable logic to this, which is surely why so many countries
across the globe want to develop it. Now they know for sure that objections to
their pursuit of nuclear power are clearly without foundation. It is their
natural human right, after all, and offers exciting commercial opportunitss for
those countries able to export nuclear know-how.
