That point doesn't actually work though because (as far as I know, not being an expert) that the enriched uranium required for power generating is no use in a nuclear weapon. The uranium has to be enrich considerably further which is the major huddle in nuclear weapons manufacture. That is why Russia were willing to supply Iran with uranium suitable for use in a nuclear power station a while ago.

It did not hit me in the way I *think* it was intended: they are finding solace in each other physically. It felt to me as if she were taking advantage of his vulnerability. It made me uncomfortable for Adam. Maybe it was supposed to?

Yes I thought she was indeed taking advantage of him for a more sinister reason. Highly unprofessional for a live-in nanny though!
