Sven Giegold and John Ritch

John Ritch, director general of the World Nuclear Association and Sven Giegold, a leading German MEP contemplate which is more frightening: a world with or without nuclear power?

HARDtalk's Stephen Sackur is joined by two guests: John Ritch, director general of the World Nuclear Association; and Sven Giegold, a leading German Green member of the European parliament. Which is more frightening: a world with or without nuclear power?
