RadWaste Offshore Dump

confirmed the long-held suspicion of Britain’s Nuclear Free Local Authorities
that the nuclear industry intends to dump its deadly legacy of radioactive waste
out at sea. Tucked away in this page-turner is a reference that could be missed
on page seven revealing that with refence to the government stated ambition to
Prepare for our nuclear future and clean up the past’, that ‘The Bill will also
facilitate the safe, and cost-effective clean-up of the UK’s nuclear sites,
ensuring the UK is a responsible nuclear state by clarifying that a geological
disposal facility located deep below the seabed will be licensed.’ That the
intention is to dump the waste at a location out at sea has helpfully been made
plain in the latest infomercial published by the Theddlethorpe GDF Community
Partnership. This latest plan to jeopardise the marine environment is par for
the course for successive British Governments which, without a care for the
ecology of British waters, have previously chosen to recklessly dump deadly
munitions and poison gas into our oceans. In November 2020, the NFLA published
a horrifying report commissioned from marine pollution expert, Tim Deere-Jones,
which revealed that evidence was mounting that around two million tons of
unused wartime munitions were dumped in, or around, the Beaufort’s Dyke in the
Irish Sea in the interwar and post-war years, up until at least the mid-1970’s.
