Nuclear agency's research misjudged

In your News story "Nuclear agency may absorb physics institute"(Nature 389, 895; 1997), you say "the move is intended to increase CEA's [France's atomic energy commission's] fundamental research capacity, which is widely considered to lag behind the commission's engineering prowess".Fundamental research is one of the important and recognized goals of CEA, and is carried out in all its divisions, and in particular in the Direction des Sciences de la Matière ('matter', not 'materials'), devoted to basic research in physics and chemistry.
