Rising Sea Levels

Posted: 2nd April 2022

Talks are to be held next week by Nuclear Free Local Authorities to highlight threat of rising sea levels and coastal erosion to Britain’s nuclear plants, including those either side of Felixstowe at Sizewell and Bradwell. In March 2011, the Japanese nuclear power plant at Fukushima was inundated by a tsunami, with flood waters rendering the plant’s cooling systems inoperative, leading to three nuclear meltdowns, three hydrogen explosions and a release of radiation from reactors 1, 2, and 3. The impact is still being felt to this day. Now the Nuclear Free Local Authorities(NFLA) is holding a special webinar examining the possible impact of risingsea levels and coastal erosion on Britain’s coastal nuclear facilities.
