BRISTOL CHANNEL 2022 SEDIMENT SAMPLING RESULTS

30th May 2023

For the second year running, an independent Citizen’s Science Radioactivity Survey of Somerset and South Wales shoreline sediments proves that the spread of man-made radioactivity from reactor discharges to the Bristol Channel is far more extensive and widespread throughout the region’s coasts than previously reported by Government and the nuclear regulators. As with the first survey there is some evidence to support the claim that dumping of radioactive sediment from Hinkley Point nuclear power station site has increased radioactivity levels at dump sites distant from Hinkley Point and re-suspended and re-distributed radioactivity historically locked in to the Hinkley Point sediment deposit.

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.
