Why the latest European heatwave is so different – and more worrying – than the rest #ClimateCrisis independent.co.uk/news/world/eur…

A GDF for nuclear waste could even cost upwards of £54bn & is described as "unachievable" in a Treasury report. So admit nuclear power is a dangerous, unnecessary lost cause & let's not create any more nuclear waste ⁦⁦Ed Miliband⁩ #NoNewNuclear newcivilengineer.com/latest/geologi…

Submission to HoC 'Call for Evidence' on 'Planning for Nuclear Energy Generation'. BANNG does not agree with the proposal that Nuclear Policy Statement EN-7 should apply to both GW-scale plants and SMRs & has a number of reasoned concerns on other issues. banng.info/wp/wp-content/…

"Pursuing both new nuclear baseload and volatile renewables is not a coherent strategy – it is a conflict. The results: overcapacity, price collapses during renewables peaks, rising electric grid costs and inefficient investment on both sides." montelnews.com/news/1ea628ee-…

Europe’s nuclear power plants buckle under climate extremes. While a lot of the nuclear public relations relates to nuclear as a sort of savior of climate change, the reverse is actually the truth. #NoNewNuclear v.aa.com.tr/3663772

Govt should have had a proven safe solution operating & dealing with all the nuclear waste the country has produced since the dawn of the nuclear energy age in 1950s, before trying to create more in their current mis-guided nuclear enthusiasm #NoNewNuclear inews.co.uk/news/politics/…

"The French nuclear power sector is in deep trouble technically & financially...a dramatic loss of skills turning the construction of Flamanville into a nightmare" Unbelievable- The Labour Party ignored the warnings & risked £bns of public funds on Sizewell C independentaustralia.net/politics/polit…

OUR NUCLEAR WORLD: PICK YOUR TARGET #NoNewNuclear jonathonporritt.com/uk-nuclear-pol…

If U can spare an hour of your life, listen to this 'fascinating' discussion on UK's long-term plan for a vast underground storage facility (a GDF) for nuclear waste we've only been producing for 70 odd years so far... Spot the holes & bribes #NoNewNuclear newcivilengineer.com/podcast/podcas…

Attacks on nuclear plants are being normalised - and the consequences could be disastrous... IAEA efforts & international norms on prohibition of military attacks against nuclear power plants could be ignored in other conflicts. inews.co.uk/news/world/att…

Debunking climate misinformation - we all need to play our part #ClimateCrisis Climate deniers and fossil fuel interests are funding thinktanks linked to far-right groups in Britain and Europe theguardian.com/environment/20…

"Nuclear will be a significant and early climate casualty.” The interplay of climate change, water, and nuclear power is fairly straightforward. Climate change increases the occurrence of both heat waves and droughts,..." #SayNo2SizewellC theenergymix.com/low-water-high…

A coalition of civil society groups, including BANNG, is warning of the dangers of cutting safety regulations as the government pushes to “rip up the rules” to accelerate the construction of new nuclear power stations. theguardian.com/environment/20…

UK's a world leader in offshore wind, battery & other real clean affordable tech - we s/be focusing there rather than slow, costly reactors which produce waste we still can't handle after 60 years trying. There is no evidence that SMRs change any of that! greenpeace.org.uk/press-centre/

UK left the EU to increase sovereignty over important decisions for this country. But now UK govt, in its panic to build new nuclear reactors, has decided to blindly hand over crucial nuclear safety decisions to Trump's Nuclear Reg Commission #NoNewNuclear thetimes.com/comment/letter…

DESNZ's nuclear delusion praising the technology as ‘home grown & clean'.... & the folly of SMRs: As Brian Clough said “We had a good team on paper. Unfortunately, the game was played on grass.” “On paper” is where SMRs should stay! #NoNewNuclear #No2SMRs nation.cymru/opinion/nuclea…

At least 1147 died from climate-driven heat in UK this summer Another reminder #ClimateChange isn’t an issue we can just deal with sometime in the future The longer govts take to shift from fossil fuels & cut emissions, the deadlier summer heat will become independent.co.uk/climate-change…

This push on nuclear power as the answer to our energy concerns ignores the radioactive elephant in the room - building more nuclear reactors will only add to Britain’s toxic waste problem with a GDF disposal option now rated unachievable. #NoNewNuclear newcivilengineer.com/latest/backlas…
