Rowland Dye - Brigwater Talk

The Bridgwater Peace Group met at the Bridgwater Railway Club on Tuesday, March 5. Dr Rowland Dye, a Bristol-based nuclear physicist, provided a comprehensive overview of nuclear power and weaponry in the UK. He highlighted how the country’s atom bomb production from 1952-63 was more about weapon production than producing ‘clean’ electricity via the Magnox program. Dr Dye also shone a light on how serious nuclear power accidents, such as Windscale’s 1957 incident and Chernobyl disaster of 1986, have far-reaching and long-term effects unlike conventional electricity generation.
