The irresponsible restartof a dangerous nuclear reactor in Scotland

Largs & Millport Weekly News 24th Sept 2020, Extract of Letter Elizabeth McLardy: Our worst unbelievable nightmare has just been confirmed. Contrary to all the concerns of individuals and numerous organisations, EDF and ONR have decided to ride roughshod over every one of us and fire up a defunct nuclear reactor that was shut down over two and a half years ago because it was unsafe to continue operating.

Over that time, it most certainly will not have improved any – if anything it will have deteriorated. EDF have done more computer modelling, given more estimates and predictions and outrageously ONR have said no problem fire it up. The silence from the Scottish Government is deafening.

All we have heard about is the loss of jobs (yet) there will be countless jobs for years to come, but astonishingly not a word about the real danger to millions of lives. (not on the web)
