Stop Hinkley
Campaign against nuclear power in the South West
EDF Energy applied for and received permission to dredge 300,000 tons of radioactively contaminated sediment from Bridgwater Bay and dump it off Cardiff. The sediment contains everything that has come out of the outflow pipes over the last 50 years from the Hinkley Point nuclear power stations.
No one knows, until the final bill for dealing with the waste has been totted up in thousands of years. EdF and the UK government are planning to dump the waste, and the costs of managing it, onto future generations.
We played a major part in the 14-month public enquiry in 1988/9 and continued to campaign for alternative renewable energy sources and energy conservation measures.
The closure of Hinkley A was announced in May 2000 as a result of our campaigning.
We have successfully fought against nuclear power and will continue to do so - but we need your support
