Not sure I would want to live near a foreseeable radiation hazard and given the poor state of commercial property investments this seems much more like a proper use of money and land by the council that ticks a lot of very real boxes. Whatever the future holds power is a key resource and will always have a market. Green energy(so far)is not a total solution but can and should make a huge contribution to future needs.

I wonder when we are going to have the guts to refocus Berkshire's atomic industry from weapons to nuclear energy - fission particularly. Given we don't actually own, let alone have the capability to fire one, atomic weapons production and maintenance is now redundant.
