Critique the analysis conducted by the National Audit Office published in "Nuclear power in the UK" Focus especially on part

In your critique use Morgan and Henrion's (1990) "ten commandments" for good policy analysis as the framework (i.e. how well does NAO's analysis follow the commandments?).

The commandments:
√ Do your homework with literature, experts and users
√ Let the problem drive the analysis
√ Make the analysis as simple as possible, but no simpler
√ Identify all significant assumptions
√ Be explicit about decision criteria and policy strategies
√ Be explicit about uncertainties
√ Perform systematic sensitivity and uncertainty analysis
√ Iteratively refine the policy statement and the analysis
√ Document clearly and completely
√ Expose the work to peer review
