The Next Generation (tng) Alert: December 2007


Object to Aldermaston High Explosives Fabrication Facility - Deadline 10 December 2007

"Replacement High Explosives Fabrication Facility building, associated outbuildings and access roads, vehicle turning areas, hard standings, blast protection, 8 x lightning conductor towers, security fencing, landscaping and temporary construction enclave."

Part of the relentless upgrade at AWE Aldermsaton, this fabrication facility is critical to the development of nuclear weapons. Objections to this application need to be made asap as the deadline is just over one week away. Please check out the links below and take a few minutes to send an objection. The more objections received, the more likely AWE will get conditions put on the application, or even have it referred to the Secretary of State. It's worth the price of a stamp and 15 minutes of your valuable time.
