H&S Executive Petition <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

On monday February 19th<\/sup> we attempted to hand in a petition to the Health and Safety Executive<\/a> office at Bootle.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

In it we asked for them in there <\/span>role as protectors of the Health and Safety of UK citizens, to urge HM Government to effect an immediate ban on the extraction of fossil fuels within 10 miles of Nuclear Installations.<\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Noted in the ONR report.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We noted the following within the <\/span>Office for Nuclear Regulation (ONR) <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The TMF programme and permissioning Hold Point Control Plan are subject to continued delay and uncertainly.
