17 Aug 2020: News Roundup: News stories over the last month. |
Stop Hinkley are very sorry to learn of the death of
John, a nuclear engineer who helped develop the AGR reactors at Harwell, was pivotal in shutting down Hinkley 'A' in May 2000. On TV and in public meetings he exposed the danger from corrosion in its inlet pipes which could lead to a nuclear fire. BNFL shut the plant years before scheduled. He gave talks in Bridgwater to back up our campaign, and more recently in the BBC Inside Out program where I explained our local worries about the dangers of the cracks in the Hinkley B station graphite core. He gave detailed reasons in the program about the dangerous risks of continuing to run with the damaged graphite core. See link below to the BBC radio podcast "Costing the Earth".
John's character and valuable knowledge will be missed by us all. Our sincere condolences to his partner and family.
