Peter McDonald Deputy Head of The Office of Nuclear Development Speaks at DECC Meeting in Thornbury on 6th February

Peter McDonald spoke at the DECC Discussion in Thornbury on Saturday 6th February.

We have another video on Youtube produced by David Price.

He had good news for us locals when he said the building of Mega New Nuclear Plants at Shepperdine is "Not a done deal"

We have since heard what our various Councils think and the sheer craziness of building the new plants on a Zone 3 flood plain, on an Estuary (therefore it needs cooling towers), with the necessity for the commuinty to live next to high grade radioactive waste( for up to 150 years)---without volunteering, with 1500 lorry movements a day for 14 months, with up to 16,300 transient workers (largely foreign) working in the area for up to 10 years.

All this to produce expensive electricity which will have to be subsidised by the taxpayers and the also the electricity consumers.

I could make comments about this desperate Government but others can do a far better job!

David will be attending both the "DECC-Please See the Light" Protest and The Eon/Rwe meeting afterwards.

Please keep informing people about the protest --We have also had a new banner sign made which we hope to get positioned in a prominent place over the weekend.
