weather distributed Nuclear Fallout

If we are going to be saddled with these dangers, shouldn't we have operations in place on a global level for these avoidable dangers. There is clearly a lack of output from the governments of the world, on this global danger and, the inevitable cost to the tax payer for the aid of the chemical brothers.

Any accident at Hinkley would Raise serious problems for South Wales, Birmingham, London, the South East UK and Northern Europe. The UK Govt plans for a new nuclear power station in Somerset could be the Most Dangerous Nuclear Power Station in Europe due to its position and the tendency for weather patterns to move in a westerly direction. Compensation from Nuclear accidents at any of the UK Nuclear Power Stations could result in a massive compensation claim that would inevitably land once again at the feet of the Tax payer.

It's crazy isn't it. We live in a world where it is frowned upon to infect another with passive smoking whilst receiving an intro-vinous of nuclear materials from the grid.

Looking at the Japanese fallout, weather has played a massive part in protecting the surrounding land masses like China and Russia. Yet nearly 4000 miles away, downwind in Hawaii, the picture is slightly different. This is an accident that 'wasn't as catastrophic as Chernobyl' because it didn't have plumes of smoke bellowing into the atmosphere. Yet here we are 4000 miles away with radiation levels to be of serious risk to health.

Now I dont need a map, to show you the effect this would have, if the inevitable, in statistical terms, was to happen at Hinkley. Will we be writing 'from Hinkley to the Himalayas'?

So here we are with a material that is already deadly in its current form when it comes out of a mine that has already destroyed its surrounding areas due to the human activity associated with it. So it isn't deadly enough, we now have to enrich it to make it useful. Enrichment is a process that bends the laws of nature. Ultimately enrichment is the reverse of decay and stabilisation. This enriched fuel is then used to heat water inefficiently, with more than half of the energy given off in the process, wasted. The resultant waste fuel is far more toxic than when it came out of the ground and creates even more problems in the disposal of. The Govt estimates that the increase in nuclear waste will be 20 times, that, we have accumulated in the last 60 years, this, by the end of this century.

Which leads on nicely to, the other, the largest pile of waste Plutonium in the world.
The UK Govt Mox plant in Sellafield has proven to be a financial disaster. A Mox plant is essentially a recycle plant for nuclear waste, a green shoot on the ever growing pile of waste plutonium that resides in Cumbria. The recycled mix, Mox, is then fed back into certain type of reactors, that appear on the face of it, to not have a future.
The Nuclear Industry is haemorrhaging Billions of cash from its various open sores and fallout shelters.

Only the Nuclear Industry and Government have the ability to commit such waste in an ever efficient world, apart from the Bankers of course.
You can avoid Tax but you can't avoid Radiation.

The World War will not be over until the Nuclear Industry has been unarmed.
Just admit it once, you got it wrong!

Out of control.

MOX is a toxic nightmare!

At Fukushima the MOX is belching radioactive Strontium. The MOX Reactor #3 seems to of had the biggest explosive blast. And the zinc rods that hold the MOX balls were the easyist to melt down.

It is not a cheap alternative to normal fuel rods, it is the most dangerous and toxic. I am truely supprised Sellafield has built such a big factory for it.

If they manage to cool down the reactors, the remains of these fuel rods will be sent back to sellafield for eternal storage. I think we should proest when they ship it here.

The air pollution has already gone all round the world including Harwell (oxon) and Faslane (glasgow).

Hinkley Point in Somerset is also seriously vulnerable to coastal flooding and tsunami.

I also think they got it very wrong!
