Stop Hinkley member Katy Attwater is engaged in ongoing work with ONR on climate change and it’s threat to Nuclear commercial and military sites around the UK.
Our view at Stop Hinkley is that the Government, the ONR and the Nuclear Industry is not taking seriously the threat of Climate Change to their policies and current and future activities.
These include; building new nuclear power stations on eroding coastal shorelines, speed of de-commissioning closed sites and plans for long term radioactive waste storage.
The ONR have conceded the necessity to hold a Climate Change workshop with NGOs this Spring, however, our view is that they are not demonstrating an understanding of the big picture by supporting and licensing future nuclear operations such as HPC, Sizewell C, Bradwell C and SMRs
