...circulating through the core. Remember that, although the fission had been successfully stopped, the fission products within the fuel elements would be extremely active, creating a great deal of heat from radioactivity.

...circulation. However, there are two circulations in the circulatory system. The systemic circulation is how blood goes to most of the body.

...circulating around their topic. So, therefore, it is very much a case, as you say, of not polarising the debate, of looking across the spectrum of materials that are out there, to see what various critical voices are saying and to begin to develop their own critical approach to it. This is certainly key to research more generally but obviously something that you should be...
