Hilda Murrell (1906-1984) was a distinguished British rose-grower, environmentalist and anti-nuclear campaigner, whose bizarre murder remains a famous unsolved crime in the United Kingdom.
"Her Murder. On 21 March 1984, she was preparing to present her paper An Ordinary Citizen’s View of Radioactive Waste Management as one of very few independent objectors at the first public inquiry into a new nuclear power plant in Britain, at Sizewell. At about midday, following a break-in at her home where it seems only a little cash was found to be missing, she was apparently abducted in her own car, which a man was seen driving erratically by many witnesses. A farmer quickly reported it abandoned on the side of a lane through his land just outside Shrewsbury; but the West Mercia Police took nearly three days to find her mutilated body in a poplar copse nearly half a mile across fields from the car.

Despite one of the biggest British police investigations in the 20th century, public criticisms of the police theory that it had been simply a “bungled burglary” grew as the police made no progress, and responded defensively to several bizarre developments in the case, including the emergence of two political motives: The Belgrano Connection and Nuclear Motive."

"Il ritorno dell’Italia al nucleare vale almeno 30 miliardi di euro. E una grossa fetta è destinata all’indotto, purchè riesca a fare fronte comune e spiccare un salto qualitativo e tecnologico.
Sono questi i messaggi principali che arrivano dal presidente di Confindustria, Emma Marcegaglia, e dall’amministratore delegato di Enel, Fulvio Conti, alle oltre 600 aziende riunite all’auditorium di Viale dell’Astronomia.
«L’idea alla base del nucleare è arrivare al 25% del totale del fabbisogno energetico nazionale. Stiamo ragionando per investimenti per oltre 30 miliardi e, se riusciamo a fare sistema, stimiamo che circa il 70% di questi potrebbe riguardare l’indotto italiano», ha spiegato Marcegaglia, sottolineando che, proprio per questo motivo, il nucleare è «una grande opportunità» rappresentata non solo da Enel, ma anche da eventuali nuovi produttori che vorranno affacciarsi sul mercato nazionale.
