Mr. Ian Talbot:

I wrote that piece myself; Mr. Hughes did not know it went in. We both used the term "technology neutral" in our presentations. I specifically said to just keep an open mind on evolving technologies. If small-scale nuclear is developing, if it is safer and if we can manage it 20 to 30 years after it goes in, not just on the day it goes in, then we should be open to considering it as part of a range of choices. I also referred to the SEAI's work, which is just starting. We need to look at all the options available. I will go back somewhat to what I said about PR6 and getting the public on board with what this investment plan is all about. That is PR6 in the immediate term and, in the future, the range of technologies that are available and the risks associated with them in 2025 or 2030 versus the risks that were visible in the horrendous incidents at Sellafield, Chernobyl, Japan and so on. It was more about keeping an open mind and not just close off stuff because we have had a historical aversion to it for very good reasons.
