(See DCBUREAU.com (Feb. 2, 2012) article about Spencer Abraham.) Last year DCBureau (Washington, DC) published a series of articles about the French-government-owned company Areva and their operations in the United States. DCBureau reported: “At the time, the United States was in the midst of a “nuclear renaissance” and Areva was one of the main beneficiaries. In March, a tsunami swept across the coast of Japan and set in motion a series of events that made the world pause. Three reactors at the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear power plant exploded.” DCBureau reported that “Areva had fueled the number three reactor with MOX fuel made in France. The hydrogen explosions spewed plutonium over northern Japan. Plutonium, a byproduct of uranium fission, is also an ingredient in MOX fuel. If inhaled, plutonium can cause cancer. It lingers in the environment for thousands of years. It will take generations to address the damage.”

Please tell your govt. that you do not want French made reactors in the UK fueled with French MOX ; MOX is a very dangerous materal.

Add’l news – AREVA and PPL (Pennsylvania Power and Light), the parent co. of WPD (Western Power Distribution) in South Wales (recall the hostile takeover of WPD by PPL and how PPL plans on destroying Llanshen resevoir to create a 300 home development) plan on placing a 3rd reactor approx. 2000 ft away from homes of elderely and ill people in Pennsylvania. One child on the street was born without a thyroid. Because PPL does not care about the health and safety needs of the public and the environment, I would dump WPD and PPL’s shares if I owned them.

Hi,
It’s July 29, 2012 and I am just reading this article at home in the U.S.. Sorry to hear that you folks are still into nuclear power. However, count yourself lucky that you have the Health and Safety Department people involved in such projects, instead of the Dept. of Energy as we do in the U.S.. The public in the U.S. really have no department looking after their interests; our govt. really seems to care more about keeping the energy suppliers happy than the people. The people in the UK have more information, that is more easily accessible, and more opportunities to comment than we do in the U.S., which is a real shame. Wishing you more wind- generated power – not nuclear! Good luck & God bless.

[…] Fukushima doesn’t seem to have altered this conversation much. Nuclear operators have suffered from a freeze in new nuclear builds while countries carry out post-Fukushima safety reviews. And Germany, Belgium, Italy, and […]

Government of India has undertaken to meet the losses of AREVA a FRENCH undertaking,by buying six reactors worth lacs of corore rupees. When India is blessed with innumerable natural resources of energy.
