NUCLEAR POWER - CONCERNS
OVER RADIOACTIVE WASTE
BURIAL IN THE LAKE DISTRICT
- "dangerous and economically damaging"
- Fears about losing nuclear
industry jobs need to be
balanced by potentially
disastarous effects on
tourism
- Geologists say the areas complex rock strata is
"cracked and leaky" and isn't suitable for storing
radioactive material
- Rock fractures
- Aquifers
- Porous strata
- Rock fractures
- Risk to Lake Districts brand image
and to communities who rely on the
brand
- Concern over the 9231 jobs at
Sellafield but tourism is the biggest
industry
- For every job lost by
rejecting burial plan, more
could be created for proper
on site, shorter term
storage
