My dad's best friend works with decommissioning a major power plant north-west of Liverpool and he's not allowed to talk about it. He's not even allowed to have a smart phone.

I heard that they often didn't even bother getting their consent or informing them. In America they do similar. If prisoners agree to be test subjects for dangerous,untested drugs they can get time off their sentence. Appalling practice given how vulnerable those men are.

I think the point they were making is that it is unusually high proportion of women making up the membership. The membership of veterans associations is usually mainly male.
