the only sane thing is to stop making the stuff
Plans to move nuclear waste by road branded ‘dangerous’.BBC News 31 Jan 14The government wants to transport waste from Oldbury power station near Bristol, to Hinkley A in Somerset and Berkeley in Gloucestershire.
Anti-nuclear groups say the waste should be stored in-situ and “properly looked after” rather than driven.
The industry claims road transport is standard practice and it would be “business as usual”…..
‘Stop making more’
Nickki Clark, from the pressure groupStop Hinkley, said that the waste “needs to stay where it is [at Oldbury] and be properly looked after”.
“If people don’t like having it in their backyard then the answer is quite simply – stop making more,” she said……
Last week, West Somerset Council said it was opposed to the proposals. http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-england-25961326
