Right Now<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is very much an interim issue of Countering Capenhurst.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Aside from having to deal with the effects of Lockdown, we are working upon a number of other related issues, while putting together the groundwork for some further campaigning resources.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In Between all the bad news<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

During September it was announced that HITACHI is withdrawing from building WYLFA B<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We congratulate PAWB (People Against Wylfa B) <\/a>for all their work in pushing for this outcome.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Meanwhile<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘ A decision on planning consent for the Wylfa Newydd nuclear power plant project on Anglesey that was due to be made yesterday has been delayed until 31 December<\/a>, as requested by Horizon Nuclear Power, the UK project developer owned by Japan\u2019s Hitachi.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRS continue to drag nukiller waste flasks to Sellafield [ Windscale ].<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The latest ones included –<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To and from Torness on July 14th<\/sup> and August 5th<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Then in Early September this was the headline on the Devonlive website<\/a>–<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rare Class 66 train carrying nuclear flasks heads into Plymouth.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

‘This was a ‘ very rarely seen DRS Nuclear Flask Train worked down from Crewe Coal Sidings to Devonport Royal Dockyard for the decommissioning of a few submarines down at the Naval base\/dockyard down at Devonport.’<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRS Publication.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is a new glossy publication about DRS<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Direct Rail Services: 25 Years of Rail Haulage<\/a><\/strong><\/em><\/h4>\n\n\n\n

This 132 page publication is aimed at train spotters, with lots of colour photographs in it.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Most importantly it lists all the information about the various train engines it uses to haul both goods wagons and nukiller waste flasks.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While it features a number of articles about operations of the nukiller waste trains.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

63 Years Later<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 10th<\/sup> 1957 the Windscale Fire <\/a>occurred.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To understand just what happened you need to read about the Windscale Piles.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It was one of the first, but by no means the last nukiller reactor disaster.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future Events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At Present it is extremely difficult to plan an future events due to the current pandemic.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

We do however continue to collecting and distributing information about all aspects of the nukiller power industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Once it is possible to do so then we will be holding a series of demonstrations outside of various Nukiller plants.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also our intention to hold a small face to face gathering to discuss how we continue campaigning once it is possible to do so.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In the meanwhile we will continue to post various updates upon our Facebook page<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
