The
campaign group's policy requests:
1.
Compliance with the Public Consultation on Hinkley site
'end state' for it to be returned to a green field site
in the form of a nature reserve.
2.
No on-site storage or disposal facilities for decommissioning
or waste materials.
3.
No on-site reprocessing of any kind, including vitrification
or reducing cooling pond debris from one level of radiation
to another.
4.
An immediate stop to current decommissioning activities
until proper safety measures are developed to prevent further
public health damage.
5.
The immediate closure of Hinkley B on the grounds of increasing
risks of collapse of the reactor core safety constraints,
fuel rod controls, boiler tube fractures etc.
6.
Future safety measures to accept that the ICRP (International
Commission on Radiological Protection) dose/risk criteria
do not now, and never have, protected nuclear workers or
members of the public from health damage caused by exposure
to radiation.
7.
Acceptance of Hinkley site specific additional health risks
from the 50sq km contaminated mud flats, the additional
health risks to downwind coastal communities, the multiplicity
of published scientific papers in the UK, Europe and the
US showing that health damage risks increase with proximity
to nuclear sites.
8.
In the light of the above, no new build at Hinkley. Site
ownership shall be returned to Somerset County Council when
it has been cleaned up.
9.
A compensation scheme shall be set up for all victims of
radiation exposure since 1965, the basis of such claims
being the diagnosis of any illness listed in the scientific
papers mentioned above.
10.
Somerset County Council to join the Association of Nuclear
Free Local Authorities.
