Its dispassionate and technical approach to this controversial topic was possibly unprecedented at a British University, at a time when many student publications were highly partisan on the issue.

It was an independent undergraduate student magazine wholly funded (initially) by a University department, an unusual and possibly unique arrangement in the UK.

[1] Thanks to the support of one of the Department's professors, Sir William Hawthorne, an expert in energy conservation, the magazine carried an introduction specially provided by Prince Philip, Duke of Edinburgh.

[10] The magazine's editorial line was rigorously neutral, and substantial space was given to the thoughts of leading anti-nuclear campaigners, proponents of conservation and evangelists of combined heat and power.

[11] It ceased publication after its seventh edition in summer 1984, its final editors being Richard Penty (now Professor of Photonics at the University of Cambridge) and John Crowther.
