Sizewell C project descends into farce
The Sizewell C development has offered observers an opportunity to monitor in great detail how a modern project costing at least Euros 30bn can and often does fall foul of environmental, financial, operational and political collapse.
By Essex Mag. August 26, 2023 https://www.essexmagazine.co.uk/2023/08/sizewell-c-project-descends-into-farce/
While the German government announces its flagship climate and transformation fund of Euros 212bn to accelerate its green transition programme of building renovation and decarbonising its energy sector between 2024 and 2027, the UK is reduced to scrabbling around the City vainly seeking investors in the increasingly farcical soap opera that is Sizewell C.
The ‘grand project’ – French nuclear incursion into a beleaguered and wilting UK energy sector – has mesmerised government officials and MPs of both major parties for the best part of a decade yet it is no closer today to realisation than it was in 2012.
With announcements on further delays to Hinkley Point C and an embarrassing silence in response to invitations to invest in Sizewell C, the hopes that nuclear power will lead the UK on its ‘world beating’ programme towards net zero carbon by 2050 look more unlikely than ever: even an optimistic start date of 2035 for Sizewell C would only afford the plant a marginal – and hugely expensive – contribution to reducing carbon emissions and only for a few years, barely time to off-set the carbon debt created by its construction.
Compared to the visionary German programme, the UK’s response to the existential climate crisis is weak, lacking in leadership and entirely inconsequential in the face of accelerating climate change impacts which are already leaving some parts of the world uninhabitable.
The Sizewell C development has offered observers an opportunity to monitor in great detail how a modern project costing at least Euros 30bn can and often does fall foul of environmental, financial, operational and political collapse.
Government has been beguiled by nuclear power to the exclusion of all else, removing subsidies for green sources of electricity generation while finding hundreds of millions of pounds to incentivise nuclear power. The regulators, constrained by the antiquated and redundant regulators’ code of practice, have turned blind eyes to the obvious – eroding coastlines, storm surges, floods and the future inaccessibility of lethal nuclear waste for transporting to a (currently mythical) geological disposal facility, the huge loss of life sea-water-cooled plants have on the marine environment and fish stocks and the idiocy and irresponsibility of discharging huge amounts of radioactivity to the environment when their health costs are unknown – in their attempts show their eagerness to do the government’s bidding on shoe-string budgets.
Pete Wilkinson, TASC’s Deputy Chairperson and co-founder of Greenpeace UK and Friends of the Earth, said today, ‘HMG is besotted by a Boris Johnson-inspired nuclear fantasy, the regulators are ignoring their obligations, EDF is out of control, respecting nothing but their own agenda, bullying local people, ignoring the absence of a Sizewell C contracted water supply, threatening the imposition of a desalination plant to cover their own inadequacies, and local authorities have been desperate to show their central government overlords that they are shoring up a broken and discredited policy. The Labour Party are no better as it cowers before trades union demands for Labour to secure a small number of well-paid jobs at over £30millon a pop and support an unworkable, dangerous and hugely costly distraction to the climate change crisis which threatens to engulf us.’
Why Scotland must get real on climate crisis: The time has passed for protecting the public from reality.
The story that still dominates now – even as temperatures (and fires) roar
out of control in the Atlantic, in Canada, in Hawaii, in Rhodes – is one
that government, citizens, and even scientists have created together: a
story where there’s always “just enough time” to fix things.
We’ve been on a “last warning” to avert climate disaster for 20 years – but in
reality, time is up. Anonymous polls show that climate scientists
overwhelmingly now privately expect warming to exceed 1.5C, our
scientifically and politically agreed “safe” limit.
The question now is
not whether – but how much – chaos will be left to future generations. We
should not be so naive as to think that climate isn’t an urgent problem for
us, here – that we in the UK might somehow be exempt by way of geography.
Certainly the global South will experience worse impacts: but, just as
“developed” societies like Britain and the USA proved surprisingly
fragile in the face of Covid-19, so it may prove with climate. Societies
like ours that heavily depend on long supply chains can expect to feel
heavily the coming disruptions in world food production, for example.
Nor can there be any assumption that Scotland, by virtue of being further
north, is safer than the rest of Britain. Populations in cooler latitudes
might get off more lightly; but equally they may not. Huge levels of
ice-melt in the Arctic are causing unprecedented amounts of cold fresh
water to pour into the north Atlantic, threatening the Gulf Stream, and the
lesser-known, but even more important ‘Atlantic Meridian Overturning
Circulation’.
It is quite possible that the effects will be felt soon –
well within a generation – making Britain’s climate colder (and drier). If
this occurs – and if I were a betting man, I’d bet on it – then it will be
very bad indeed for agriculture. And especially bad for Scotland.
The time has passed for protecting the public from reality. Indeed, millions already
know that things are worse than governments admit: from 40C heatwaves to
droughts and flooded high streets, every year the weather brings the
vicious reality of climate breakdown home in a new way. In workplaces,
communities and wherever people have power they are taking climate action
into their own hands – from towns working towards net zero, to figures in
law, business and finance, lobbying for ambitious climate policy. It is
vital to acknowledge and encourage this process. Scotland as a nation has
already grasped this need and must urgently spread the word among its
cities, towns and villages. We must all now recognise ourselves as the
climate majority: the citizen energy that will demand unprecedented action
to protect our world.

Hinkley Point C: Millions of fish under threat after permit change
Campaigners say tonnes of fish could be sucked into Hinkley Point C’s
cooling system if an acoustic fish deterrent is not installed. The
Environment Agency (EA) has removed a requirement for EDF to install the
deterrent, which the company said could be dangerous to maintain.
Environmental groups say millions of fish could be killed per year. The EA
said it was confined to looking at water discharge activity, which did not
deal with the entrapment of fish. A final decision on whether EDF will have
to install an acoustic fish deterrent (AFD) will made by the Secretary of
State for Environment later this year.
The reactor cooling system tunnels
will take in 132,000 litres of water per second from the Severn Estuary to
cool the plant’s two nuclear reactors. An AFD would use underwater sound to
cause hearing species of fish to swim away.

For the sake of Suffolk, Nuclear Free Local Authorities urge Centrica to ‘Say Non to Sizewell C’
Sizewell C is also a site presenting unique challenges. It is located on the Suffolk Heritage Coast, facing the increasing threat of storm surges……………
The Chairs of the Nuclear Free Local Authorities (NFLA) Steering Committee and the NFLA English Forum have written to the Chief Executive of Centrica, which owns British Gas, urging him ‘for the sake of our planet, the people, fauna and flora of Suffolk, the wallets of your hard-pressed electricity customers, and your own company bottom-line’ to say NON to Sizewell C.
The Times reported in July that Chief Executive Chris O’Shea was considering taking a stake in the project and Councillors O’Neill and Blackburn in their letter point out the pitfalls of investment ‘which would bring with it clear financial, ESG and reputational risks for Centrica’.
EDF Energy, now wholly owned by the French state, is currently building a similar plant at Hinkley Point C in Somerset – its history has not been a happy one with the project hugely behind schedule and massively over budget. In addition, Sizewell C will utilise the same EPR reactor as Hinkley Point C, a reactor design with a chequered safety and reliability record. A reactor in China was involved in an accident and is currently again shutdown (Taishan-1) and in Finland a second one only came online after the operator was forced to carry out repairs after a succession of equipment failures (Olkiluoto-3).
Sizewell C is also a site presenting unique challenges. It is located on the Suffolk Heritage Coast, facing the increasing threat of storm surges and coastal erosion, and with climate change modelling suggesting it would become inundated and isolated; there are several sites of scientific interest nearby; and the county is under increasing water stress with fears that there will be insufficient fresh water to meet the needs of the plant as well as local people.
The Councillors point out that several prospective investors who manage large pension funds have clearly indicated that ‘they will not be dipping their financial toe into the radioactive water’ of Sizewell C. Pension managers at The People’s Pension; Nest; BT; BBC; Tesco; and Pearson have all, in correspondence seen by campaigners at Stop Sizewell C, indicated they will not be backing Sizewell C, whilst the Daily Mail reported that Nat West and BT told the paper they would also not be investing and Legal and General’s Nigel Wilson told the BBC’s Today programme: “We are not big fans of HS2 and Sizewell C”.
Councillor O’Neill believes this to be sage advice:
“At a current projected cost of £32.7 billion, Hinkley Point C’s budget is fast approaching twice its first estimate at the time of financial close, and there is no reason to believe that Sizewell C will be delivered any more quickly or any more cheaply as the construction of large nuclear power plants in the UK is a litany of projects being delivered late and vastly over budget.”
Councillor David Blackburn, Chair of the NFLAs English Forum, is a co-signatory to the letter. He is urging opponents of the project to also contact Centrica to ask them not to invest:
“It would be far wiser for Centrica to direct every available penny into the proven renewable technologies that we already have now – these would generate power and heat far more quickly and more cheaply, and generate for them a more immediate financial return, than any further investment in this monstrous nuclear boondoggle.
“The NFLAs are pleased to back the campaign launched by Stop Sizewell C asking supporters to send an email directly to Mr O’Shea asking him not to invest in Sizewell C.

The role of nuclear in the UK’s energy mix.
In 2022, nuclear power provided 13.9% of total electricity supplied in the UK. However, as the table below [on original] illustrates, its contribution has fallen significantly since
the 1990s, when it provided around a quarter of the UK’s total
electricity supply.
Since 1995 there have been eight nuclear plant
closures, with no new plants coming online, reducing installed nuclear
capacity reducing by more than a quarter.
Declining nuclear capacity has
been (more than) compensated for by the rise of renewable energy, whose
share of electricity generation rose from 3% in 2000 to 42% in 2022.
The chief scientist of Greenpeace UK, Dr Doug Parr, said that the nuclear
industry was making “speculative claims” regarding the proposed
benefits of SMRs relative to conventional nuclear power. He said that
“SMRs have no track record, but initial indications are that the familiar
problems of cost overruns and delays will be repeated”.
In addition to these concerns, Steve Thomas, an emeritus professor of energy policy at the
University of Greenwich, suggests that the focus on SMRs will divert time
and resources away from energy efficiency and renewables which he believes
are the “answers” to net zero electricity generation.
Professor Thomas’s position is in line with that of the Green Party, the Liberal
Democrats, and the Scottish National Party. The co-leader of the Green
Party Adrian Ramsey has described nuclear as an “expensive
distraction”, arguing that renewable energy technologies and energy
efficiency are “cleaner and cheaper solutions that can be delivered far
quicker than nuclear ever can”.
Wera Hobhouse, the Liberal Democrat
energy and climate change spokesperson, has also criticised the expense of
nuclear power relative to renewables. Referring to the Nuclear Energy
(Financing) Act 2022, she argued it was “madness” that the government
had “recently passed a new law that will allow them to add levies to
energy bills to fund new nuclear plants”.
Scotland’s last remaining
nuclear power plant in Torness is due to close in 2028 and SNP energy
spokesperson Alan Brown has said that the UK government should be focussing
its efforts on Scotland’s “renewable energy potential” rather than
attempting to build more nuclear power stations.

UK ‘s Minister for Nuclear and Networks very upbeat about nuclear energy’s future
In February, Andrew Bowie
became the UK’s first-ever
Minister for Nuclear and Networks
2 Andrew Bowie
became the country’s first-ever U.K.,”
Minister for Nuclear and Networks nuclear minister in February,
TOKYO — The U.K. government is “absolutely committed” to boosting nuclear power as a key energy source, but national security is paramount as Chinese investment in new plants raises concerns, the minister in charge of the sector told Nikkei Asia.
Most of the U.K.’s existing nuclear plants are to be retired by the end of this decade, while a new generation of reactors is still under construction………
“The British government is absolutely committed to new nuclear, after about three decades of underinvestment. We are reinvesting and reinvigorating an industry which has not had the attention that it should in the U.K.,” Minister for Nuclear and Networks Andrew Bowie said in a recent interview. “On the whole, we are open to investors from overseas,” he added……………….
The UK government has announced plans to build as many as eight new reactors. However, major projects already underway are mired in controversy over funding from Chinese investors, given tense relations between London and Beijing……………
Now uncertainty looms for Hinkley Point C, which broke ground in 2016 under a joint investment by EDF and CGN as the first new nuclear power station built in the U.K. in nearly 30 years. The plant is home to the only two reactors now under construction, according to data from the International Atomic Energy Agency……….
“The pendulum has swung” on British nuclear policy, the minister said, but the pronuclear plans could fall victim to politics, with a general election due within 15 months………… https://asia.nikkei.com/Business/Energy/U.K.-committed-to-nuclear-power-despite-China-funding-concerns2
Japan’s controversial nuclear waste water plan could impact the UK’s decarbonisation agenda
House of Commons Science, Innovation and Technology Committee drily warned that this new nuclear power station “may not now represent good value for UK taxpayers”.
Andrew Warren, 15 August 2023
The UK government has already broken with precedent and
contributed £870m towards Sizewell C’s development costs. Poverty
campaigners have noted that this is a near identical sum to that spent on
the government’s now-abandoned Warm Front programme, energy upgrading the
homes of low-income families. Such largesse would certainly have gone a
long way towards helping reduce the rocketing number fuel poverty numbers
in England.
The government has also been employing Barclays Bank to try to
drum up the estimated £30bn needed to build the power station from UK
pension funds.
Already, three massive pension funds – BT, NatWest, People’s
Pension – have publicly stated that they will not be getting involved. As
the People’s Pension Fund laconically acknowledged this month: “Direct
investment into nuclear power infrastructure projects is not part of The
People’s Pension investment strategy. We will not be investing directly
into Sizewell C.”
Meanwhile, a recent report from the House of Commons
Science, Innovation and Technology Committee drily warned that this new
nuclear power station “may not now represent good value for UK taxpayers”.
Such financial concerns come in addition to the apparently insoluble
problem of how to deal with the ever-growing amounts of storing, let alone
disposing of, nuclear waste. The problem of knowing what do with
contaminated cooling water off Japan is only adding to the question marks
over the wisdom of putting many further billions of pounds into the
apparently spendthrift nuclear basket.

Anger as Hinkley Point C allowed to discharge sewage into Bristol Channel and drop fish protection
AN Exmoor parish council chairman is demanding
the Environment Agency explain why it has dropped a requirement for Hinkley
Point C nuclear power station to use acoustic fish deterrents (AFDs) in its
water intakes in the Bristol Channel.
Anti-nuclear campaigners fear 11 billion fish could be killed during the 60-year lifetime of the £27 billion power station if AFDs were not used. The Environment Agency has confirmed
it has agreed to applications to vary licences for NNB Generation Company
(HPC) Ltd, the vehicle through which EDF is building the power plant. But
the decision has been criticised by Katherine Attwater, who chairs
Timberscombe Parish Council, is a member of the campaign group Stop
Hinkley.

Gwynedd anti-nuclear march ‘sent powerful message’.
By Alex Bowen , Tuesday 15th August 2023 https://www.cambrian-news.co.uk/news/gwynedd-anti-nuclear-march-sent-powerful-message-organiser-says-632417
A 70 km long anti-nuclear march ‘sent a powerful message’ according to its organiser.
The march from Trawsfynydd to the Eisteddfod in Boduan, Pwllheli, was organised by the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament Cymru, with support from anti-nuclear groups CADNO, People Against Wylfa B (PAWB), Nuclear Free Local Authorities (NFLA).
Dylan Lewis-Rowlands, National Secretary of CND Cymru, said: “Communities and people all across Gwynedd showed their support as we discussed the issue of nuclear power with them – it’s link to military nuclear development, the billions in investment and years in time it has diverted from renewable and community owned energy generation and storage, and the implications nuclear development here in wales will have on the rest of the world.”
Sam Bannon, march organiser, added: “We sent a powerful message. As we marched through the Eisteddfod, people came out of their tent stalls to applaud. The strength of feeling was clear – and this is a strong message to decision makers.”

“These events are crucial because they raise awareness and force those of us to think afresh on the issues at hand, and ask these difficult questions. For the last 10-15 years we’ve been sold this idea that nuclear is a fantastic element and the industry will create well paid jobs, save the environment, and all sorts of arguments which say it will help, but none of them stand up under scrutiny. These events give us the chance to push back against that whitewashing.
“There’s not enough being done to protect Wales from nuclear energy, our own government is promoting it and they’re trying to attract new nuclear into North West Wales. They’re selling nuclear energy as an ideal scenario for us which will solve all of our problems, without telling us the whole truth behind it.”
Risks of further delays at Hinkley Point C, EDF warns
EDF has admitted there is a risk of further delays to two nuclear reactors
at Hinkley Point C due to construction setbacks. The French energy giants
behind the new nuclear power station along the Somerset coast remarked last
year that the plants may start 15 months late. In an earnings presentation
in late July, EDF said the increased risk of a 15-month delay is due to
“performances on civil works and challenges on mechanical, electrical,
heating, ventilation and air conditioning” and “progress is below the
planned trajectory and action plans have been set”.
EDF has targeted June
2027 as the first operation of Unit 1, also known as Hinkley Point C, and
has already factored in construction delays and other factors. Originally
scheduled to be generating energy in 2025, Hinkley Point C has faced
several delays due to reduced workforce and workflow challenges caused by
the Covid-19 pandemic, as well as increasing costs.

Is it “Hello” or “Goodbye” to Great British Nuclear Power?
13 August 2023 https://www.banng.info/news/regional-life/hello-or-goodbye-great-british-nuclear/
Andrew Blowers contemplates this question in the BANNG column for Regional Life, August, 2023
The frenzied relaunch of Great British Nuclear (GBN) as the vehicle to produce 24GW of nuclear power (i.e. a quarter of Britain’s electricity) was long on rhetoric and short on commitment. The prospect of low carbon nuclear power sometime in the future – albeit costly, slow, accident-prone and with a legacy of dangerous wastes – seemed a soothing distraction from the present reality of heatwaves, wildfires, warming oceans and rapidly melting ice.
But, nuclear power cannot escape the reality of an insecure and unsafe future with global warming and sea-level rise. In the immediate future, individual nuclear stations will be affected by floods, storms, heatwaves and droughts. Increasing temperatures will affect cooling systems reducing power output as thermal efficiency decreases. In the longer-term, nuclear power may face an existential crisis especially where stations, like Bradwell, are sited on coasts prone to flooding, erosion and storm surges as sea-level rises.
One day this summer my grandson and I built a fortified sandcastle on West Mersea beach. With a willing suspension of disbelief, it can be imagined as a nuclear power station, let’s call it Bradwell B. My grandson is standing on the ‘nuclear island’ which is ringed by a high wall to protect it from the sea.
But, as time goes by, the sea rises (by as much as 3 or 4 metres in the next century) and surges threaten the doomed station, until the walls are breached, the island invaded and power station and highly radioactive wastes are cast into the waters. The station, like our sandcastle, will eventually be no more.
Despite the long-term risks from climate change, developers seem still to be eyeing up the prospects for building at Bradwell. By a process called ‘adaptive management’ they envisage increasing the height of the walls, to the point where the nuclear island becomes, literally, an island. If such an idea sounds crazy, that’s because it is.
In 1953 The Great Tide surged down the East Coast, flooding the Essex coastlands, leaving death and destruction in its wake.
Back then, the floods receded and the land was reclaimed. Under climate change there will be no turning back and the land and all that is upon it will be gone for ever.
Sooner or later, GBN will signify “Good-Bye” Nuclear.
Scottish ministers test attitudes to building radioactive waste facilities near homes
The Scottish Government said the work was ‘very long-term’ and no decisions had been made regarding locations
Ministers are looking to test public attitudes to radioactive waste management, including potentially building facilities near where people live.
The Scottish Government has budgeted up to £30,000 to commission a survey of public
opinion, documents published online show. Questions will cover topics such
as trust in the government and the nuclear industry, as well as “attitudes
towards constructing facilities for radioactive waste in proximity to where
people live, if proven to be safe and resulting in significant economic
benefits”.
The move forms part of the Higher Activity Waste Implementation
Strategy, which was published in 2016 and sets out long-term plans for
disposing of such material. The Scottish Government said it was a “very
long-term programme of work” and no decisions had been made regarding
locations.
A tender document says the work “will help improve Scotland’s
environment by informing radioactive waste policy makers about the views of
Scottish citizens, as storage and disposal options are considered as part
of Scottish ministers’ obligations to manage the nuclear legacy clean-up
programme”.
It adds: “The nuclear waste landscape in Scotland remains
complex, with a mixture of civilian and military nuclear waste liabilities
requiring careful management to help protect people and the environment.
The Scottish Government is responsible for developing national radioactive
waste plans to help manage this nuclear legacy and in 2016, published its
Higher Activity Waste (HAW) Implementation Strategy. This strategy included
an illustrative timeline towards construction of a national nuclear waste
repository and a commitment to undertake various research activities such
as carrying out public attitude surveys and developing near-surface
disposal concepts.”

Plush new building for UK’s Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA)
A government agency is moving into a plush 53,000 sq ft building at the
Harwell Science Campus. The Nuclear Decommissioning Authority (NDA) will
have a new office space after Vale of White Horse District Council granted
permission for the building in June. It will be occupied by the NDA but has
been designed to provide flexibility. In addition to workspaces, the
planning consent also includes breakout areas inside and outside of the
building for staff and visitors, enhanced landscaping and tree planting, as
well as car and cycle parking on site.

Anti-nuclear protesters at Faslane charged after blocking entrance
Anti-nuclear protesters blocked the entrance of a naval base in Helensburgh
on Wednesday for several hours. Three activists were arrested and charged
with breach of the peace on August 9 at HMNB Clyde, commonly known as
Faslane. A Royal Navy spokesperson said: “We can confirm that three
individuals were arrested yesterday outside of HMNB Clyde and charged with
breach of the peace. “At no time did the individuals gain entry to the
site and the safety and security of the Naval Base and our vessels were not
