The News That Matters about the Nuclear Industry Fukushima Chernobyl Mayak Three Mile Island Atomic Testing Radiation Isotope

UK Office of Nuclear Regulation seems to have increased the number of cracks permitted in Hunterston nuclear reactor.

Scottish CND 21st Aug 2019 Scottish CND condemn Office of Nuclear Regulation’s decision to restart
Hunterston nuclear reactor 4. The meeting between ONR, Dr Ian Fairlie and
NFLA (notes available) stated that while the cracking in Reactor 4 is not
as extensive as Reactor 3 there is an issue of some cracks openings that
are greater than 1.2cm wide (i.e. 1/2 inch). Scottish CND chair Arthur
West:

“This news about the Hunterston reactor is very disappointing. It is
very worrying that the Office of Nuclear Regulation seems to have increased
the number of cracks permitted in the reactor. This move seems to be a
clear case of moving the goalposts to allow the closed reactor to reopen.
It really is time to think about a future beyond nuclear energy. The best
response to the current situation at Hunterston is to continue the
development of safer and cleaner forms of renewable energy.”
