MAY I respond to John Routledge's comments (HAS, Feb 28) on my letter (HAS, Feb 22).
With regard to nuclear power, I remain sitting on the fence. I merely wished to object to columnist Peter Mullen's glib statement that nuclear power is safe, and that we should ask the French.
I am sure Mr Routledge will accept that we still have two major problems with nuclear power, namely, where to put the vast quantities of high, medium and low level waste which will need to be stored for millennia, and what to do with the decommissioned power stations and the radioactivity therein.
