TAFFY
|
No, I'm told he'll be late. Business in London.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
 How many bodies?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Four, Minister. And three at the plant makes seven.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
How long do you think this sort of thing can this go on for?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Until he's caught.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Do you think he's mad?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Well, he wasn't before, but he certainly is now.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Now, this is the report on IIF?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
It's a copy. We sent the original to the Director of Public Prosecutions.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Why?
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
Because it proves that there is a hot cell at Northmoor, built in contravention of IAEA safeguards.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
It was never under IAEA safeguards.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
HARCOURT
|
The contamination in the reservoir can now be traced directly to it. They are liable to prosecution under the Radioactive Substances Act of 1960.
|
|
|
|
Six: Fusion
|
MINISTER
|
Is this really within your brief, Harcourt?

HARCOURT
|
Northmoor was producing plutonium illegally, contrary to the Nuclear Installations Act of 1968, the NPT and every other international agreement. They are breaking every law in the nuclear rule book.
|
|
|
|
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
|
HARCOURT
|
You knew about it?
|
|
|
|
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
|
HARCOURT
|
But I don't understand, if you knew what caused the contamination, why was I brought in to investigate it?
