Mr BURNELL: Civilian transport industry. Dr Harries : Certainly, there is an option in the long term for nuclear power for civil maritime users. There's quite a lot of interest, and I think there's a new agreement going on with the IAEA at the moment to update past agreements. There's a possibility of having nuclear powered civilian merchant marine, but I think that's a very different issue from the submarines. They're both using small reactors and have advantages.
