Tory nuclear waste sites revealed

[muriel_volestrangler]

(and therefore ones likely to be considered now):

The list was released by Nirex, who are responsible for dealing with Britain's intermediate-level nuclear waste.

It was drawn up in the 1980s, but the plan to bury waste at the sites was abandoned following the landslide defeat of John Major's government in 1997.

Too close for comfort to anyone here?

This is after the Committee has had serious doubt thrown on its competence:

Top adviser quits 'bleeding obvious' nuclear committee

GOVERNMENT plans for disposing of nuclear waste have been thrown into turmoil by the resignation of a senior adviser, who has accused a key committee of endangering public safety by ignoring scientific expertise.

David Ball, Professor of Risk Management at Middlesex University, has left the panel that advises ministers on the issue in protest at its “open antagonism” to the views of nuclear specialists.

The Committee on Radioactive Waste Management (CoRWM) had become obsessed with public consultation at the expense of expert advice, Professor Ball told The Times.

It had spent a year considering far-fetched disposal options that were dismissed years ago by scientists, such as firing spent fuel into the Sun or shipping it to Antarctica, while hazardous waste languished in tanks that were vulnerable to an accident or terrorist attack.

4. What a joke, incompetent waste management 'R US.

There are hundreds of thousands of particles of nuclear "FUEL ROD" out
in the ocean and local beaches due to the Dounreay excellent storage
site! Wow, lets give them some more stuff to dump in the environment.
There is a lobby of nuclear engineers and incompetent plant managers
who are threatening that the caithness economy will collapse if they
can't have some more nuclear fuel to dump in the environment given
taxpayer dollars.... it stinks like shit; smells like shit; ...
I challenge anyone who supports this to come and have a swim at the
contaminated beach at sandside bay, to lay on your beach towel knowing
that very likely you're laying on top of a peice of plutonium, or might
have ingested one whilst swimming that will kill you short on... and
they cover up the cancer clusters and all. Tony blair is a tory, and
this is proof.

3. The offshore stuff at Redcar would have had the coastline here sizzling.
