We’d like to ask the World Nuclear Association a few questions

Talking of undercover spies and stuff as we were yesterday, we’ve received a few comments on the blog from someone called Rudi. He doesn’t say who he is or where he’s from. His comments don’t agree with our view but that’s ok – we’re looking for a debate here at Nuclear Reaction.

Unfortunately, Rudi’s comments can be a little on the disparaging side. In one comment he described our daily nuclear accident anniversaries as ‘bollocks’. One afternoon he left six comments within 45 minutes.

We were a little intrigued by Rudi. So much so we fed the IP address that accompanied his comments into this clever little website and guess what we found…

Rudi’s comments were sent from the offices of the World Nuclear Association (formerly known as The Uranium Institute), who pride themselves on ‘promoting the peaceful worldwide use of nuclear power as a sustainable energy resource’.

So we’d like to ask the World Nuclear Association a few questions:

1) Can you confirm that Rudi does indeed work for you or has access to computers in your offices?

2) Was Rudi asked by anyone else to leave the comments or did he do it of his own volition?

3) Is it a policy of the World Nuclear Association for its employees or associates to leave disparaging comments on anti-nuclear blogs without stating their affiliation and interest?

4) Is the view that what Greenpeace says is ‘bollocks’ the official view of the World Nuclear Association?

We look forward to the answers.

Oh, my goodness... I think I'm about to develop a sudden interest in the nuclear industry.

:o)

Just think that it's a little odd for you to post an entry about people who comment on your site...

Awesome!
