In 1961, Peter Mitchell, a British biochemist, proposed a mechanism by which the free energy generated during electron transport drives ATP synthesis. Now widely accepted, Mitchell s model, referred to as the chemiosmotic coupling theory (Figure 10.11), has the following principal features ... 

Quad Unit of world energy generation, a quadrillion or 10 btu (1 btu, or British thermal unit, equals to 1.054 kJ). 

Our initial round of interviews in the U.K. nuclear power industry was conducted in July 1999 with the British nuclear safety authorities— the Health and Safety Executive (HSE) Nuclear Installations Inspectorate (Nil)— and the private nuclear generating company in England (British Energy).

Additional background information was obtained from discussions with trade union representatives and a local U.K. trade press correspondent. The U.K. interviewees were given considerable latitude to describe the process and impacts of industry restructuring in their own terms, in part because a sensitive audit was still pre-decisional at the time of the interviews.
