beware the Nuclear Rennaisance in doncaster

PROTEST AGAINST THE 'Nuclear Rennaissance' event

This thurs 17th at Doncaster Racecourse 9am onwards

NUCLEAR RENNAISSANCE event is brought to you by the people at NAMRC and MAS
hundreds of businesses will be attending this grooming event to get on board the nuclear gravy train and earn more profit and power for arms companies like Rolls Royce, Boeing, Costain and the many other associated crooks!

While they plot out our landscape for new nuclear dumps and power stations they continue to poison our land and communities with their existing nuclear facilities and dumps. Fast tracking the open cast coal and selling off forests that will fuel these new nuclear facilities this 'rennaissance' agenda is raping our earth and condeming our future.

Doncaster Racecourse is approx a mile from the centre's train station.

no nuclear no way

Coal?

What's open cast coal got to do with nuclear? The whole rationale for it is that it's low carbon.

Costain's got nowt to do with arms. Not sure what Boeing's got to do with nuclear either.

Protest if you like, but at least get your facts right.

coal is required to fuel nuclear power stations and to transport nuclear waste der! 10 new nuclear power stations means shit loads of concrete coal and destruction of our lovely earth its is no way low carbon you pratt!

boeing is a sponser of the factory of the future and NAMRC at the AMP and it doesnt take much to see thats its all related and fuelling the same obscene regime, its not that hard to research so do your own same goes for costain

your comments are only on here to try and demoralise and distract from the truth your games up

come on people dont be discouraged by this nonsense

nuclear is nwo

Meanwhile, in the real word.

There's no shortage of real stuff to get angry about, you know - you don't have to make stuff up. All this misinformation just undermines all the good work on the site - that's what annoys me.

what

16.02.2011 18:12

@fingerbob,its obvious you are not in the so called loop or even bothered to go and find the info out whats going on up there shefiled doncaster etc, or you would like a taxi booked for you,or you are stupid, this is good information and spot on, if you had been following it then u will no, sorry its not a complete essay of whats what ,but some have other agendas to follow

“coal is required to fuel nuclear power stations and to transport nuclear waste der! 10 new nuclear power stations means shit loads of concrete coal and destruction of our lovely earth its is no way low carbon you pratt!”

-----------------
But of course, twas only just last week that I saw a coal powered steam train transporting uranium rods to a nuclear waste dump. (And please don’t give me the coal = electricity = train power argument as heavy trainsport train run on diesel)

I don’t really know a lot about the subject, please enlighten me, what part does coal play in the nuclear process, do nuclear power stations need fuelling with coal?

Also what’s concrete coal? If your referring to fly ash? That’s an existing by product of coal powerd electricity production, and can be used as a supplement to concrete. Its good quality stuff that can be used to part replace the cement and can actually improve the concrete strength and will result in the concrete having a lower embodied energy..

Anyway, you’ll probably now just call me a troll/government agent for having a different option to you...

good option to follow

Nuclear would make an excellent transition between coal/oil and renewables. Its all very well with these wind turbines, but if they dont provide enough energy then we need alternatives.

All the trouble in the middle east, its like when oil rose in the 70s (but we had the north sea reserves then). Its time we reduced our reliance on them, otherwise we are in danger of having no electricity.

Its a no-brainer to me, its clean, fuel comes from stable countries.
Nuclear is definitely good a lot of positive points about it.

Come off it

artfulldodger - I'm born and bred Sheff, love, so don't try and come that. I've been following what's going on for years, so I do know the facts, and I know that this is just ignorant crap.

I'm not saying nuclear's the answer to all our problems, but if you don't like it, at least try and base your case on the facts not on self-righteous fantasy.

'Sustainable energy without the hot air' figures that nuclear produces about 4% of the CO2 emissions of coal, even counting for the mining, construction, etc. Good book - if you're at all interested in energy, you should read it.

Fingerbob

worth keeping eye on

16.02.2011 21:15

If the french get about 80% of their energy from nuclear - and they've had no problems with it?

Surely - its better than burning coal - which produces lots of CO2?
(even through countries like China / India / Brazil will continue to burn coal and they are much bigger than us - so its wont make a blind bit of difference if we stop using coal anyway).

I think the best reason for nuclear options is to cut our reliance of the Middle East's resources who never seem to stop fighting.

Can't think of any other feasible alternatives. Solar is out. Wind isn't great. Tidal isn't an option.
Nuclear seems a good option until we find something else.

crap

when the russian reactor went up ,loads of people in wales got cancer,safe i wonder, have you not heard of shutting your electricity supply of for a few hours each day, in some countrys this happens to save energy, is that not a good idea, i dont care if you was born in shefield, fact being we use to much energy as it is and nuclear and the way forward for all those concerned is very unsafe, where do you get rid of the waste, while we argue this matter? while we are on the matter can uavs be run on such fuel,yep afraid so, whats the by product of nuclear fuel? i recon MRs shefield ur a troll

Accidents never happen (and even when they do...)

As an environmentalist and someone with a fairly good grasp of science I have to say I am totally opposed to the nuclear industry. Even if a plant is 'safe' and doesn't leak radioactive substances/go into meltdown during operation, we are left with the impossible task of disposing of the waste products. Once a plant has been set up, nuclear energy may be relatively clean in the short-term, but stockpiling dangerous materials that will remain radioactive way beyond our lifetimes is neither sensible nor responsible. I agree that finding a viable alternative to fossil fuels is problematic, but personally I would rather make do with less electricity, generated through renewable sources, than switch to something even worse (i.e. nuclear power).

On another note, directing abusive comments at people who question your theories (even if they are correct) is unnecessary and is likely to put people off/annoy them rather than encourage them to investigate further!

rennaisance? rennaissance?

If you can't spell it, you're not allowed to "protest" against it either.

Ignorance and propoganda

I'm sorry to anyone who might be offended by this but, having been brought to tears by the harrowing flyers handed out by protesters at this event, I have a duty to highlight this.

In exiting this event, I was handed, by one of two (yes, count them) female protesters, an appalling leaflet, containing graphic images of mutant babies. These cases, I have subsequently discovered, are documented as originating from Afghanistan and are alleged to be caused by the use of depleted uranium weaponry. I fail to see what relevance this bears to supply chain, quality and legislative issues, surrounding the future construction of UK nuclear power generation facilities.

The production and deployment of nuclear weapons, to kill and maim, and the generation of energy from nuclear materials to generate energy, in an attempt to alleviate the global energy crisis, are entirely disparate pursuits, undertaken with very different aims and intentions. They have only one thing in common; the word nuclear, the meaning of which is totally variable, dependent on context.

I hope those two women read this, before they decide to stage another ill-informed protest. They showed about as much intelligence as the BNP; inasmuch that not every Muslim is an Islamic fundamentalist, not every application of nuclear technology is undertaken with the aim of causing death and human suffering.

To the offended lady, as well meaning as you and others participating in the nuclear renaissance may be nuclear waste is used to make horrific weapons which are then used on vulnerable nations such as the ones in the images used on the flyers. Serious criminals sit at the top of the corporations involved in this industry and no matter how safe and clean you think it is its waste product has to go somewhere if not buried in the ground to poison future generations for thousands of years to come then it used to create weapons of mass destruction. Creating more corporate controlled energy for an already obscene and greedy system is not the way forward. No matter how much greenwash is used nuclear is dangerous dirty and deadly.

nuclear waste equals depleted uranium

nuclear is never going to be safe!

remember?
