...and the timeline
How about this? Public service is polluted with nuclear apparatchiks running policy and PR:

Nuclear power operators work extremely close with government in the UK - far too closely when it came to the public relations response to Fukushima. High-level employees of the nuclear energy companies are lent to government for free for years at a time. So it would not be that surprising if the official national support for nuclear power helped rebuild public confidence. The contrast with other countries where the state and nuclear industry are not so intimately entwined is stark.

and

A separate poll from November 2011, commissioned but tellingly not published by the Sunday Times, shows that solar and wind power are far more popular than nuclear power.

Thanks for sharing, FBaggins!
