Summary Hugh Collins, the chairman of British Nuclear Fuels was delighted by Vice President Dick Cheney's recommendation that the United Stats take a new look at nuclear power and nuclear fuel reprocessing. What makes the Cheney plan particularly significant for BNFL is the fact that in 1999 the company bought Westinghouse Electric Co., which designed half of the world's nuclear power plants and 60 percent of those in the United States. The article has more on the history and plans of the BNFL in America.
