Nuclear reactors: safe and cost-effective?

Fears are growing about the safety of nuclear technology destined for a reactor in France. At Flamanville, a new third generation reactor is supposed to be activated in 2012, but tests have been deemed unsatisfactory by France's nuclear safety authority. This has fuelled debate on the future of nuclear energy, as France hopes to sell third generation reactors around the world.

Click Here to see the debate on French TV about the risks from the EPR reactor being built at Flamanvile. 14 mins in English - includes Steven Mitchell from Sortir du Nucleaire campaign group.

With the new opportunities brought about by a change in Government, we urge people to write to the Secretary of State for Energy and Climate Change. We hope he sticks to his pledge not to subsidise the nuclear industry and bring on the public inquiry on nuclear justification which top academics have called for. Here is a draft letter that you can download and use unchanged or add your own words.
