IAEA Takes The Nobel

As it happens, a member of my family has worked for the IAEA at 2 different times over the past 25 years, so I’m quite pleased to see this today:

The Nobel Committee praised the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and ElBaradei, a 63-year-old Egyptian, for their battle to stop states and terrorists acquiring the atom bomb, and to ensure safe civilian use of nuclear energy.

Bravo.

I can’t help wondering, though, what are they going to do with the $1.3 million dollar prize? That would buy one heck of a staff pizza party….
