Nuclear Power Stations in a Warming World
       Dungeness in Danger      by Dennis Leggett
A comprehensive study of the evolution of the Dungeness headland.
800 years ago the present nuclear power stations' site was over one kilometer out to sea.
Several huge storms in the 13th century dramatically changed the course
of the river Rother and the contours of the headland.
Could it all change dramatically again?

The main source of radioactive pollution to the air and the sea in the South East of England
is from these two Nuclear Power Stations on the Kent coast at New Romney.

However, they are not the only source of radiation in our part of the country.
The French reprocessing plant at Cap de L'Hague, Cherbourg, discharges
a radioactive plume that soon covers much of the South East.

There are six nuclear reactors just across the channel from Dover at Gravelines,
near Dunkirk that also make a substantial contribution to the
aerial radioactive discharges that affect our district.

EURATOM?

NO THANKS. NON MERCI.
NEIN DANKE

Valéry Giscard d'Estaing was the political leader who oversaw Europe's
largest ever nuclear construction programme: forty three stations were
commissioned during his term of office. He now proposes to incorporate the
1957 Euratom Treaty into a new EU constitutional treaty.

We aim to stop him.

If the Romans had nuclear power we would
still be guarding their waste!

This statement prompted a controversial response from a visitor
to this site who invited us to reply to his criticisms.

We have printed it here in full with our reply.

As it is such an important issue we are sure he would
be interested to hear your views as well.

Guide to Magnox Nuclear Power Stations:

reactor design - typical station layout - graphite deterioration - generic faults - embrittlement - corrosion - Wigner energy - station lifetimes - accident scenarios - sell-by date - etc.

This is a new idea where we are trying to give an overall picture of the subject in laymen's terms so that new visitors to this site can grasp the issues more easily. Nuclear issues are inherently complicated and many potential campaigners are too easily put off by them.
