Two US politicians introduced a bill to the US Congress last month that attempts to prohibit the energy secretary, Federico Peña, from re-opening the troubled High Flux Beam Reactor at the Brookhaven National Laboratory. Reacting to the bill, Allan Bromley of Yale University, president of the American Physical Society, fired off an open letter stating, “from a scientific standpoint, I believe that such action is unwise and unwarranted.”
