NGOs call on next PM to Review Defence Implications of Johnson’s nuclear energy plan

18th July 2022

Campaign groups opposing nuclear energy projects from around the UK  are calling on whoever becomes the next PM to carry out a Defence Implications Review of Johnson’s major 24 GW new nuclear power station policy.  The groups say that the unnecessary new nuclear infrastructure would put the UK at a strategic, if not existential, century-long risk to emerging threats, posed by autocratic regimes, smarter next-generation weapons, cyber, suicidal terrorists and Artificial Intelligence. A review should also consider NATO countries and the wider-world’s currently high dependency on uranium from Russian-sphere regimes and future Chinese ‘Belt and Road’ policies.

What is the real cost of nuclear power?

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.

Stop Hinkley was founded in 1983

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.
