Am I right in thinking SMRs produce more nuclear waste per MWh than conventional reactors? Their smaller size leading to more neutron leakage and their spent fuel having more radiotoxicity? From a security aspect, SMRs create much larger attack surface.

3/4 though Graff's latest - it's great. I read the one above, When it all Burns a few weeks ago, a really remarkable book.

I'm 1/3 way though his book, great companion to yours, really fascinating. Just wish there was more acknowledgement of uncertainty. Too much stuff is presented as fact, where really there is significant uncertainty over what actually happened thousands of years ago. Archaeology isn't time machine!

Europe needs a step change in STEM funding - offer a home to many great US researchers.

US is crazy, most of their 'success' over the last century has been on the back of STEM breakthroughs and development. US turning its back on science is madness.

Think you owe Andy an apology, it's not nice to accuse a talented artist of being AI.

Well it couldn't be next year as there isn't the capacity to spend the extra cash (sensibly). It takes time to build capacity on the supply side.

If, against the odds, Golden Dome actually happens and is effective against ICBMs, won't that just encourage EMP nukes hidden in satellites, possibly for years, to be used in a first strike, clearing the way for ICBMs?

That's daft, HE is a massive export industry £20-30bn and represents one of the largest employers in many UK cities. ... before you even think about educating many of the next generation of workers.

Telegraph frequency run this kind of article, including explainers on how the wealthy can dodge various taxes.
