Peter Rickwood had a 25-year career as a print journalist at the Nelson Daily News, Toronto Star, and others. He was a press officer in the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) in Vienna, Austria, in 2003 during the Iraq war when the press, partly from lack of technical knowledge and group think, failed to challenge bogus claims about Iraq’s non-existent nuclear and other weapons of mass destruction. In 2013 he founded Atomic Reporters, a Canadian not for profit helping journalists bring better reporting to the nuclear file.
