Cold comfort

Article Abstract:

Anna Muller, a physician and the base commander of Germany's Neumayer research stations, plays the sax to banish the loneliness and boredom that creep up during the dark, freezing polar winters.

Neutron source powers ahead with weapons-grade uranium

Article Abstract:

The German government has accorded its sanction for the operation of a research reactor that would be fuelled by highly enriched uranium, which, in turn could be readily diverted to make nuclear weapons. The impact will reduce its neutron flow density but would not significantly limit its scientific usefulness.
