A new nuclear review will ignore the obvious perils of new reactors on a
UK beach, warns Together Against Sizewell C. The following is a statement
from Together Against Sizewell C (TASC) in response to the “Fingleton
Nuclear Review” adopted by the UK government, entirely influenced by the
nuclear power industry and its lobbyists in a frantic effort to copycat the
US model of accelerating approval of dangerous, expensive and entirely
unnecessary nuclear power projects. Together Against Sizewell C (TASC) is
appalled that the UK government plans to adopt all 47 recommendations of
the ‘Fingleton Nuclear Review’. This review is based on a false premise
that nuclear is ‘clean energy’ [see Note 1] and ‘needed to power
Britain’s future’[see Note 2]. Neither of these assertions stand up to
public scrutiny, the review being driven by the nuclear industry, big
business and lobbyists for commercial and ideological reasons. Claims that
nuclear is ‘homegrown power’ conveniently overlook the fact that the UK
do not have any indigenous supplies of uranium needed to fuel the reactors,
that market currently being dominated by Russia.
