Sir, In spite of the mutational long lasting horrific consequences of unleashed nuclear power demonstrated by the Chernobyl disaster - admirably highlighted by the remarkable Adi Roche - it has been speculated that part of the agenda in the recent nuclear testing was to further the employability in circumscribed battlefields of tactical nuclear weapons. Military drills still persist that they are not unmanageable. The unpalatable facts about the effects of even sideshow related chemical warfare measures in the Gulf War also remain unpublished.
That aside, imagine the out turn if there had been a Chernobyl or a Sellafield in a warzone in Bosnia or Chechnya. The blind fury of ethnic cleansing counts no cost. Radioactive fallout would make no distinction between Serb, Croat, Muslim or even Irish, depending on what way the wind would be blowing. Terrorist organisations could employ: peacemakers please note. You might as well be talking to the wall as pointing out the dozen dangers of Sellafield. - Yours,. etc.,
