From the publication:

1. Introduction

1.1 I am a Senior Fellow in the Energy Policy Programme of the Science Policy
Research Unit, University of Sussex. I hold the degree of B.Sc. in Chemistry from 
the University of Bristol. For the last ten years, I have worked on issues of energy 
policy and economics, specialising in electricity and nuclear questions. I was an 
expert witness for the Electricity Consumers' Council at the Sizewell B Public 
Inquiry, and have published a wide range of papers on energy policy issues. In 
particular, I am the author of a book entitled 'The Realities of Nuclear Power' 
(Cambridge University Press, 1988) which examines the determinants of the 
economic performance of nuclear power. I have been carrying out research on the 
operating performance of nuclear power plant since 1978 (see Appendix 1 for a list 
of publications on this topic) and in the course of this I have built up the 
comprehensive data base on nuclear power plant on which the data in this proof 
is based (see Appendix 2 for a description of the data base).
