The Severn Estuary, in Gloucestershire, is set to be a major hub for the Government’s plans to expand nuclear power in the UK. This video, by STAND (Severnside Together Against Nuclear Development) https://www.nuclearsevernside.co.uk, explains the Government’s proposed expansion of nuclear power by building the completely unproven technology of SMRs (Small Modular Reactors). It also explains why they will be disastrous for the economy, increase the cost for electricity bill payers, rob renewable sources of power generation such as wind, solar and tidal of essential resources, fail to secure energy security and come far too late to help mitigate climate change or meet the country’s carbon emission targets.
