 How many bodies?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
How long do you think this sort of thing can this go on for?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Do you think he's mad?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Now, this is the report on IIF?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Why?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
It was never under IAEA safeguards.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Is this really within your brief, Harcourt?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Northmoor was producing very small quantities of plutonium by a secret laser process, which was classified as experimental. I knew about it, and so did a number of my colleagues.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
From day one. An experimental station with a defence component is not subject to any of the restrictions you've just quoted.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Because the Americans became suspicious.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Yes, if you like.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Yes, of course I did. I just thought you might take a little longer to do it, that's all, and you might have used slightly less unorthodox methods of breaching the mine than the likes of Craven and Jedburgh.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
That's up to the Cabinet, but I'd like to suggest it's your duty to get the plutonium back, since you were ultimately responsible for its removal.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
If you believe what comes out of Washington, you're naive.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Why did you let him go?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
None?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Is 20 kilos enough?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
If he was going to do that, he'd have done it by now.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Instead, a particularly sensitive relationship between you and my government is now public property.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Colonel. [WAITS FOR LAWSON TO LEAVE THE ROOM] What did he say about Northmoor?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Go where?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Well, then. What are we going to do next? We shall have to find him.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Bennett?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Would you have any objection if we left it to Craven?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Well, Harcourt, you'd better make sure that he's fully briefed, hadn't you?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Yes, but I shall have to swim off Sizewell in the afternoon. With all this talk about a nuclear state, every weekend sees one of us swimming up and down outside some nuclear power station, while the world's press takes snaps from a safe distance, onshore. Makes me sick.
