Kick Nuclear

(Un)Safety

Posted Thu, 01/04/2010 - 12:00am by admin

Nuclear power is not as safe as they want us to believe. Nuclear regula­tors from the UK, France and Fin­land sent a joint letter to Areva, the ma­kers of the European Pressurised Reactor (EPR), in Octo­ber 2009, about pro­blems with the design’s Control and Instrumentation (C&I) systems. One independent expert says the design suffers from serious safety flaws which could lead a mi­nor incident to develop into a severe accident. The French group Sortir du Nucléaire published leaked docu­ments showing the design pre­sents a serious risk of a major acci­dent.

Nuclear power is not the answer to climate change

Local democracy dumped

With the 2006 Energy Review, the government proposed a num­ber of initiatives “to reduce the regulatory barriers for new nu­clear build”. EDF and others inter­ested in nuclear new build demanded a “predictable and efficient con­sents and approval process”, getting rid of lengthy planning inquiries such as these had been for Sizewell B. The Planning Act 2008 fast-tracks nuclear power stations and other “nationally sig­nificant infra­structure pro­jects”, thus remo­ving a historic demo­cratic deci­sion-making process.

He was immediately arrested without warning on suspicion of aggravated trespass and taken to Lowestoft police station. The remaining blockaders were still in position as of 10.40am. One TV crew and several journalists were on the scene.
