Nuclear fears are groundless
CONSIDERING that, in over 50 years' operation, civil nuclear power in the UK has harmed no one and, because of the designs used, is unlikely to do so, Irene Soames's conviction that we "are bound" to see a "catastrophic disaster" if the UK builds more nuclear power stations is baseless scaremongering.
The "catastrophic disaster" we face is the effect of continued global warming due to burning fossil fuels.
