It turns out that the method of containing the reactor is not as sound in practice as it was on paper. so the choice at the moment is carry on and let various big corporations with many vested interests profit from thousands of miles away while Western super mare and every one in it glows in the dark for the next few millenniums.
I think its time that the people took back the media and enforced a more draconian attitude to companies that want to send their press trained PR ******* out to spin stores.

But a lack of vision will mean the UK will blow their chance.
Its all the "Stay In Europe" morons. And the assguru "Im okay, everyone else is a cretin, so lets do nothing" types.
If only we could shoot both groups the UK could lead the world instead of continuing its sink into oblivion.

Whatever happened to the Pebble Reactor, was auto failsafe and self refuelling I think...

I love the comment from the Greenpeace chief "scientist", that "this was tried in the 80s and didn't work". Yeah - technology has moved on slightly since then.

Westinghouse is an American corporation. Britain recently had a nuclear industry, called British Energy, part of EDF since 2009.
There has been decades of decline in this branch of engineering in Britain. No opportunity has been missed, it was conscious withdrawal. See France on how to run a successful nuclear industry today.
