And with the increased potential for terror attacks since 9/11, the industry is now demanding such coverage for its proposed new reactors, which could stretch taxpayer liability for decades to come. Way back when, the industry also assured the public an answer would soon be found for managing high-level radioactive waste. But as of today, the still-unlicensed dump at Yucca Mountain, Nev., cannot open for at least another decade, if at all. A repository for the waste produced by proposed new reactors remains unsited, undesigned, unfunded and unnamed. Moving radioactive waste to Yucca Mountain or any such central repository would expose tens of millions of Americans on the highways and railroads and in their homes. The industry has lately made much of the idea that atomic reactors might help solve global warming.

Pensions help for the fretful fifties
Fears of a generation of older workers retiring with negligible pension savings have prompted the City regulator to target those in their late fifties and early sixties with a new 'last-minute' saving awareness campaign. The Financial Services Authority (FSA) wants to warn what it calls the 'pre-retired' - those within two years of retiring - to the potentially huge gaps between the amount they expect to retire on and what they may actually end up with. Its national campaign for 'anxious aspirants', which will start on 17 September, will highlight how those who have saved little can still make up for lost time. 'We don't want these workers to panic; rather to consider their options,' says an FSA spokeswoman. For many with little in the way of savings, these options are not cheap and usually include an equity-release element to tap into the value of a home; working beyond 65; 'buying' extra years of an occupational pension scheme; and delaying the taking of the state pension.
