nuclear

This isn’t a writing problem, but a pronunciation error. PresidentEisenhower used to consistently insert a “U” sound between the first andsecond syllables, leading many journalists to imitate him and say”nuk-yuh-lar” instead of the correct “nuk-lee-ar.” The confusion extendsalso to “nucleus.” Many people can’t even hear the mistake when theymake it, and only scientists and a few others will catch themispronunciation; but you lose credibility if you are an anti-nuclearprotester who doesn’t know how to pronounce “nuclear.” Here’s one way toremember: we need a new, clear understanding of the issues; let’s stopsaying “Nuke you!”

When I was born, in the 1950s, nuclear power was said to be “too cheap to meter.” Although few and far between, disasters at Fukushima and Chernobyl have laid waste to that claim and, for that matter, entire cities. German Chancellor Angela Merkel, herself ...

  There's no denying that safety and effectiveness are both critical concerns when it comes to nuclear power, and that's just as true for investors in the technology as it is for those who rely on the energy it generates.
