1. Let's just be clear that the "Oxford Research Group" is NOT an academic
institution - in particular it is in no way associated with Oxford University.

In fact looking at the board of directors of this antinuclear front group, we see that there is only one member of the group who has worked with nuclear materials and that he stopped doing so in 1957, just two years after the first commercial reactor ever built (Calderhall) operated. Since this fellow finished training, Calderhall operated for 47 years.

The rest of the staff is predictably among anti-nuclear front groups, composed of fund-raisers and social scientists who know, in fact, very little about the subject of energy.

In fact, the world is rapidly gearing up for the production of new nuclear energy and it's really not checking with the vast circlejerk of anti-nuclear websites to do so.
