URGENT NEWS............GOVERNMENT FACES HIGH COURT CHALLENGE ON NUCLEAR POWER PLANS

Please read the latest news from today

Shepperdine Against Nuclear Energy

Shepperdine Against Nuclear Energy
The first of two known accidents/errors in the last four yearss at the aged plant at Oldbury

STOP PRESS....STOP PRESS.....STOP PRESS.....

We feel for the people of Japan during this time of natural and, potentially, man made disaster. We are all reeling from the shock of the events of the last few days and our thoughts are with them at this dreadful time.

A fire in an ancillary building at Oldbury only a few years ago led to the release pictured above. How close did we come to a Fukushima then?

The existing plant at Oldbury is older and long past its sell by date. What emergency plans really exist here?.... none of us know what to do or where to go.... none of us have been given any instructions, let alone tablets. They would have to evacuate many many more people from their homes including the whole of Bristol, Thornbury, Chepstow, Gloucester and more!

We have already told the Government why they should not plan to build new nuclear at Shepperdine, it is madness to even contemplate building one in a high level risk flood zone and one that has evidence of damage due to the tsunami of 1604. It is time the Government listened to this community and found the courage to admit they are wrong.

Help us stop this nonsense, tell your MP to SHUT OLDBURY NOW and abandon all plans for new nuclear!

Life and Nuclear Radiation: Chernobyl and Fukushima in perspective

Professor Wade Allison
Ever since the Cold War with its threat of nuclear holocaust we have held radiation in awe.
But, unlike at other accidents, nobody died of radiation at Fukushima. Something is wrong! The safety of radiation is misunderstood.
Wade Allison is Professor Emeritus at Oxford University. He is the author of “Radiation and Reason: the impact of science on a culture of fear”. Copies will be available.
