Letter from Tor Justad. Nuclear Waste Leaks show need for focus on

renewables. The NDA says the Dounreay decommissioning programme will
continue until the 2070s during which time some £7.9billion will be spent.

accidents continues. After the recent leak Dounreay says there may be other
unrevealed hazards waiting to reveal themselves.
