A campaign group is seeking talks with Chinese developers over the future of a new Bradwell nuclear site.
Blackwater Against New Nuclear Group has taken the unusual step of seeking direct discussions with the Chinese state-owned nuclear companies who are considering developing their own nuclear power station at the Bradwell site on land owned by EDF Energy.
BANNG’s Chair, Professor Andy Blowers, has written to the heads of the China National Nuclear Corporation and the China General Nuclear Power Group pointing out the “formidable obstacles” that would have to be overcome before new nuclear power could be brought to Bradwell.
BANNG fears new nuclear reactors together with nuclear waste stores and possibly cooling towers would represent “a violent transformation of a tranquil haven of recreation into a polluted and dangerous industrial zone”.
