Tom Adams,
I am not an employee of AECL. I am a "clearly
a representative of my employer" and have been "designated as official spokesman
of my company".
In a public forum like this, you seem to be a
confused, poorly-informed, professional anti-nuclear activist. So I do not
put any value whatsoever on your facts, information and opinions on
nuclear technology matters.

Rouben re. opinions and employment
Benjamin Rouben,
There may be members of this listserv
who are not employees of AECL, but
those who are employees of AECL and are
discussing their nuclear
interests in public are clearly representatives of
their employer,
although not necessarily designated official spokesmen for
their
company. In a public forum like this, you and Mr. English
are
professional nuclear advocates. There are obviously a variety of
related
subjects where you have informed professional opinions. I hope that
this
forum provides an opportunity for useful, informed and also
polite
discussion about facts and opinion related to Canadian nuclear
matters.
There is a historic pattern that in my experience is fairly
unique to
AECL (although OHN used to do it too) of its employees pulling a
veil of
"personal opinion" over themselves and advocating their company's
views
in letters to the editor and other public statements while failing
to
reveal their affiliations, as if theirs were just the words of
ordinary
citizens. Public discussions around nuclear technology should not
have
to bear this burden.
