Sizewell C nuclear plan slammed, despite the UK government’s greenwashing

 Campaigners opposed to the new Sizewell C nuclear power station have
slammed the ‘nonsense’ decision by chancellor Jeremy Hunt to classify the
project as ‘environmentally sustainable’ in the budget. A spokesperson for
Stop Sizewell C said the decision made a ‘nonsense of the science, given
the major issue of radioactive waste’. She added: “In any case this seems
unlikely to sway wary UK investors, for despite government support,
Sizewell C is not expected to reach a Final Investment Decision for two
years – if ever – and remains a risky project with a flawed reactor design.
