A FEW years back on a visit to National Grid the company told me it needed to recruit 75 specialist engineering graduates that year but it feared that across the entire British University system there were only 90 with the required skills whom it expected would graduate, so it expected to have to fill its vacancies with graduates from Eastern Europe. That discussion reminded me how the previous week on a visit to one of the City's big brokers, one of its star traders said that his degree was in nuclear physics, and the desk had two other physicists, three electrical engineers and two chemists. On graduation all of them had headed for the City, not industry, because that was where the money was. And this neatly encapsulates a problem which is ducked in a report by the inventor Sir James ...
DENNIS HOWARD MARKS was born in Kenfig Hill, Bridgend on the August 13, 1945. He is an Oxford University graduate with a degree in nuclear physics and a post graduate qualification in philosophy.
The Uk Government has confirmed it will authorise a new build of nuclear power stations. The average reader does not have a degree in nuclear physics, so I will desist from technical descriptions, but I believe the UK nuclear industry is safe. Carbon-free nuclear power generation is the ideal solution to combat global warming.
The Government has just confirmed it will authorise a new build of nuclear power stations. I fully understand that the average reader does not have a degree in nuclear physics, so I will desist from technical descriptions. The UK nuclear industry is safe. Carbon-free nuclear power electricity generation is the ideal solution to combat global warming.
ITALY It has been a political roller coaster of a week for the Italian prime minister Romano Prodi, who found himself in and out of office as fast as the proverbial fiddler's elbow. It was a crucial senate vote on foreign policy that triggered last week's crisis, which, despite Prodi's return to office yesterday, remains far from over. Philip Willan examines the political machinations of the past few days against the backdrop of a much wider and deeper political malaise that Italy seems unable to shake off. RUSSIA He is married to former president Boris Yeltsin's step- granddaughter, has a degree in nuclear physics and survived Russia's so called "aluminum wars". Now officially Russia's richest man - having GBP102 million more than his chum Roman Abramovich - Oleg Deripaska is a man to ...
John Hemming, in an unex-pected flourish from someone with a degree in nuclear physics, chose to quote the 16th century essayist Francis Bacon when asked to justify his decision to leak confidential council information: 'For indeed, knowledge itself is power.' By refusing to inform the public the council was undermining the ability of the electorate to influence the policy making process, he argued. Democracy, in its purest form, requires that information made available to elected representatives is also given to the public at large.
HE WAS dumbstruck. As a young scientist with a degree in physics, Sam Cohen stood in the Nevada desert in 1945 and watched the fireworks as one of the world's first nuclear bombs was tested. The earth shook with an almighty bang and the sky erupted. A mushroom cloud billowed out above the top-secret site in the middle of nowhere.

A PHYSICIST is suing an NHS board for Pounds 5million amid claims its staff twice failed to spot the cancer that dashed her hopes of a high-flying career. Helen McGlone yesterday told the Court of Session in Edinburgh that the disease was only picked up when she eventually had a privatelyfunded health check.
The 30-year-old, who has a PhD in particle physics, claims that an earlier diagnosis would have spare... McGlone - who went to work for the CERN nuclear research organisation in Geneva after graduating ffrom Glasgow University with a degree in physics and applied mathematics - received priv...
PHOTOGRAPHER Chris Steele-Perkins has worked all over the world... but his heart keeps bringing him back to the North East. Chris spent his student years in the region and, despite living in London these days, is still drawn here with increasing regularity.
