No more Nuclear nonsense

Sometimes petitons are worth signing.
On 30 January 2013 the executives of Cumbria, Allerdale and Copeland County Councils
will vote on whether to continue with Government
plans to build an underground nuclear dump in the Lake District of up to 25km square.
Scientists from the Government’s Nirex investigation in the 1990s onwards have made
it categorically clear that an underground nuclear depository is not safe in mountainous
areas of high waterfall where radioactive waste is likely to leak into the water table, where
the geology is unstable as in the whole of the Lake District region, with multiple cracks
through which radioactive material could escape. There is no scientific evidence that an
underground nuclear repository would be safe anywhere, and yet the Government is
determined to continue with its plans to bury waste anywhere people can be persuaded to
take it. Voting No would force the Government to take a more responsible attitude in its
plans for nuclear expansion – burying the waste out of sight is not the safe answer to this
dilemma.
