| | Living with nuclear radiation 677
The British reprocessing plant at Sellafield, long the
undeserved whipping-boy of the anti-nuclear movement, is now the source of
an unexpected consequence for children's health that will have
international repercussions.

| | Between objectivity and subjectivity 687
Protein crystallography is an exacting trade, and the results
may contain errors that are difficult to identify. It is the
crystallographer's responsibility to make sure that incorrect protein
structures do not reach the literature.

| | Sellafield makes news again 690
Britain's uranium reprocessing plant is making waves again, not
now because of its releases of radioactivity to the environment, but
because a relationship between parental exposure and childhood leukaemia
has been demonstrated.
