Negative Reaction to Nuclear Power Plan - icWales - 11 Apr 08
"The report will add to the debate over whether a new nuclear power station should be built at Wylfa, Anglesey, to replace the one that is currently being decommissioned.
Mr Richards is a member of the Nuclear Consultation Working Group, which is today posting Too Hot to Handle [PDF with pretty graphs] on its website, www.nuclearconsult.com.
The report states: 'The Government has reasserted its belief that new nuclear power stations would pose very small risks to safety. Public consultation so far seems to have been designed to protect the nuclear industry from scrutiny. The most likely reactor designs to be built are both pressurised water reactors. Their vendors claim greater efficiency, economy and safety, but a closer look at these untried, untested designs reveals a number of cost-cutting measures which threaten safety and burden future taxpayers.'"
