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

Sizewell C nuclear plant will have catastrophic effects on nature, and the Minsmere nature reserve.


 RSPB officials have expressed dismay at the government’s decision to back
the potential Sizewell C nuclear plant with £100million of funding. The
proposed twin reactor development would be built next to Sizewell B, close
to the RSPB Minsmere nature reserve.

The RSPB and the Suffolk Wildlife
Trust have long been opposed to the development because they say it will
lead to a large loss of habitat for animals and could see millions of dead
fish pumped into the sea each year.

EDF has always maintained that the
power station would help biodiversity by helping to tackle climate change.
A spokesperson for the RSPB said: “The RSPB is shocked to hear that the
government will be investing £100million of tax payer’s money in Sizewell
C before a decision has been made to build it. The government claim to want
to be a world leader in their response to the nature crisis. That’s a
great ambition, but it is utterly incompatible with throwing £100m at a
development that could have catastrophic impacts on nature.
