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.

Now, this high-grade waste must be stored in such a way that it is impervious to accident, earthquake, flood and theft.

Mr Bennett, to what extent did you have Government backing for your venture?

|
|
Three: Burden Of Proof
|
BENNETT

We had the full support of all the agencies, and very generous grants, particularly for our research facilities.

BENNETT
|
For example, we're designing a vitrification plant, which is not cheap and we have had a generous measure of support for this project from the Government.

CLEMENTINE
|
We found him in the village trying to persuade a garage to let him pay for a tankful of fuel with a Diners Card. His Spanish is appalling.

CLEMENTINE
|
Not quite. I was a liaison officer with the Sandinistas at the time, so we took him prisoner. We kept him for six weeks and ran up a huge bill on his card before letting him go
