notes from Newsnight & Jeremy Paxman

these notes aren't a transcript but I have no doubt you can find it on BBC Iplayer.

Jim Crawford head of EDF UK @ Sizewell,
there would be back up battery systems if diesel generators failed,
there was absolutely no mention if these back up systems would be under water or whether they had any other considerations in place.

Andy Spurr head of EDF UK,
the reply to, 'what about anybody living near a nuclear power plant' was,
'dont worry you'll be isused with iodine tablets'.

John Large, top man, Independent, wasnt happy (sorry i lost the plot here for obvious reasons)

John Ritch, World Nuclear Assoc, said 'there has been no serious harm to anyone in Japan' I repeat!!!
also said, 'safe zone in britain, 10x less, compared to anywhere else, gave an attitude of 'not my problem, its Britain's policies', not literally.

Well done, Jeremy, great piece.
