10 reasons I didn’t want "a new Nuclear power station" on North Ayrshire’s local development plan.

The technology for Nuclear weapons & power are the same.
Nuclear Power reactors release radioactivity to the air and the water on an ongoing basis, even with no accident.
Nuclear power does not help address climate change.
Moving nuclear waste is a high risk activity which puts our communities in harms ways.
Nuclear waste remains dangerous for thousands of years.
Plants are vulnerable to terrorist attack.
Power is centralised instead of local.
Nuclear Power Stations are dangerous.
Nuclear Power stations are expensive.
Government subsidies for Nuclear draws funding away from real sustainable energy projects which could provide clean, green energy and jobs.
