In 2004, while still a Labour MP, Cunningham wrote to senior nuclear executives asking them to join the forum. His letter, obtained by The Sunday Times, says: “Tanef was created to provide a setting for senior executive transatlantic business-to-business and business-to-government dialogue on key nuclear energy issues and concerns . . . Membership in Tanef is being offered by select invitation with membership dues of $50,000 annually.”
- Nuclear-power firms that have joined the forum include Fluor, Urenco, which makes enriched uranium, and British Nuclear Group, the waste management arm of BNFL.[1]
