When it comes to job security those guys inside of the NDA, the clean up wing of the UK nuclear industry, has the best business model for continued employment I have ever come across..
It is impossible to shut them down because the result of 50 years of the nuclear industry is filth, contamination and future risks for many generations.
We can not cut jobs in this sector because the potential for disaster is too great today and many generations to come.
What we can do is ask the SSG part timers and nuclear industry hangers on to join Cameron's Big Society like us who represent our NGOs.
I know it would be an anathema to most of them to contemplate doing something without expenses.
Not many jobs for life these days, but if you are in the NDA you are in clover, probably more contaminated clover than before the tragic events in the fields of Japan.

Sir,
ReplyDeleteI would like to offer a different perspective on job security at the NDA.
Out of its 300 employees, 100 were made redundant in 2010.
If you were one of the people who lost their job I am personally sad for you.
ReplyDeleteI do , however, believe that the NDA will have to be around for many years to help decommission the power plants and make sure that any contaminated land is remediated.
I was at a meeting at DECC at Westminster this week were Lord Marland stated that expenditure was being increased at the NDA and also was renewed prospects of a GDF in West Cumbria.
As a taxpayer and electricity consumer if nuclear is totally unviable I personally do not want to be subsidising jobs at the NDA.
I believe that our local chairman of the SSG at Oldbury does receive some expenses for his role. I the era of The Big Society I think that these roles should be done free of expenses as a gesture to the local community....I am sure DC believes this too.
