Mike Alexander is the ex-Chief Executive of British Energy who was replaced after only two years in the job in March 2005. He was an enthusiastic proponent of nuclear energy. Delivering the keynote speech at a gathering of UK's leading energy figures organized by the Energy Industries Club, he declared that the volume of waste produced by nuclear energy is trivial, "equivalent to 24 double-decker buses a year".
