NOW IS THE TIME FOR PERMANENT CLOSURE: A RESPONSE TO THE TEMPORARY CLOSURE OF NUCLEAR REACTORS AT HEYSHAM 1 AND HARTLEPOOL IN 2014.

by Tim Blades

In May 2014 Noam Chomsky gave a lecture at Durham University during which he quoted American General Lee Butler:
'we had so far survived the nuclear weapons era “by some combination of skill, luck, and divine intervention, and I suspect the latter in greatest proportion.”.” (1)

Boiler Problem Closures at Hartlepool and Heysham.

A statement from the Nuclear Free Local Authorities.

Why has it taken EDF 9 months to close down Hartlepool and Heysham
nuclear reactor after the problem was originally found?

EDF “nuclear bulls**t” protest

People protesting about public subsidies for a new Hinkley Point nuclear power station today dumped a pile of animal manure at an EDF shop in Bridgwater in Somerset. A banner was hung above the shop which read “No More Bullsxxt – EDF take our £££ and dump waste on us!”

HINKLEY POINT C NO DONE DEAL

On 21st October, EDF issued a press release titled: “Agreement reached on
commercial terms for the planned Hinkley Point C nuclear power station.”

My aim in this article is to examine exactly what has been “agreed” and its
implications for the likelihood of Hinkley C being built and if so, when.

In the first paragraph of the press release, the claim in its given title above is qualified, when we read that “EDF Group and the UK Government have reached in principle an agreement on the key commercial terms for an investment contract of the planned Hinkley Point C…”
