CHILWELL

 The purpose of this particular session is to examine, at somewhat short notice, the consequences, if any, of the takeover of International Irradiated Fuels Limited, by the Fusion Corporation of Kansas. For obvious reasons, this will be a closed session.

I'm an energy attaché at the Embassy. See? A regular diplomat! Corps Diplomatique!

You're wasted in England, Darius. You should be back in the Third World killing Communists! That's what made you a star, isn't it?

This is the Third World, and the Communists are not the problem.

JEDBURGH

You are, and I'm here to warn you. You're stirring up the natives. You're making them restless. We have our own interests on this island. Quite apart from the airbases, there's the golf courses.

The golf courses?

Don't forget, Grogan, I'm a golfer, and when you and your friends are busy in the stadiums, who will look after the golf courses?

That's a question I ask myself every time I address the ball.

To know is to die. Remember that, Jerry!

Mr Bennett, you're the Operations Director of International Irradiated Fuels. Perhaps you can give us some idea of the philosophy behind the company?
|
|
|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
BENNETT
|
Yes. The company was formed in response to the growing demand for permanent and semi-permanent storage facilities in the nuclear field. In particular, the need to store the low-grade wastes emanating from our nuclear installations without contaminating the oceans, and also to find the answer to the question, of the disposal of the high-grade wastes which emanate from our reprocessing plants.
