You mean, like France ? France has a huge number of nuclear power
stations. Somehow they managed to build those, AND things like the TGV,
AND do post-war reconstruction too. What am I missing ?

The secrecy?

The British and the Yanks were and still are so paranoid about the
secrecy levels for anything using the "n" word that they will arrest
anyone remotely involved in blowing the whistle on dirty deals and etc.

France on the other hand will sell theirs to anyone.

France was not involved in the research of the 40's and 50's was it?
Have you done any research on the subject? Get a computer and ask you
mam if you can surf the world wide bit of the net they let you on.
