Join Us in Demonstration and Leafletting Outside the “Community Partnership’s Propaganda Fest for a Deep and Very Hot Nuclear Dump Under the Irish Sea.
Saturday 28th September -
Meet at 1pm outside the Beacon Portal, will be there till 3pm.
Bring music, banners but most of all bring yourselves and lets show some Grrr towards this plan to use the geology of the Irish Sea as a giant heat sink for high level nuclear wastes in the hopes that the very hot radioactive wastes will stay put. We will have leaflets to hand out to the public, we have previously asked Nuclear Waste Services if our factual literature could be displayed alongside that of the "Community Partnership" at "drop ins" - fat chance.
The public are being led up a toxic path having said no repeatedly. "Just say no" obviously has no resonance with the nuclear waste industry. Cumbria is once again in the frame on the say so of only three local councillors - the full Copeland (now Cumberland Council) did not get to have a say and vote on this. One of the councillors who is now a major player in the "community partnership" failed to declare his financial interests in the nuclear industry when voting to take Cumbria into the "Community Partnership". So much for democracy.
This is what the nuclear dump mafia say: " Nuclear Waste Services is holding a drop-in event in Whitehaven to continue the conversation about what a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) could mean locally. ..Simon Hughes, Siting and Communities Director for NWS, said:
“We want to know what people think about potentially having a GDF in the area. We are looking forward to listening to people’s thoughts about a GDF and answering their questions.
“A GDF is a major, critically important multi-billion-pound national infrastructure project to safely and securely dispose of the most hazardous radioactive waste deep underground. It would bring very significant economic opportunities and thousands of jobs to the area which eventually hosts it.
“At some stage the community could be asked to decide whether they would like a GDF in their area, so it’s important that everyone with an interest has the opportunity to learn about the project and make an informed decision.”
Construction will only start on a GDF when a suitable site has been identified, a Potential Host Community has confirmed its willingness to host the facility through a Test of Public Support, and all the necessary consents and permits have been obtained. This process could take between 10 – 15 years."
Here is a blast from the past - the Grange Hill song "Just Say No." Nuclear Waste Services are sooooo pushy! Cumbria has said no several times already.
