Sizewell is the proposed site for 2 new nuclear reactors as well as a dry storage dump. We have had a weekend camp there in April for the last four years in order to commemorate the disaster at Chernobyl and to show our opposition to new nuclear power. The demonstration takes place on Saturday the 21st at the gates of the power station. Ron Bailey has agreed to speak at the demonstration. He is one of the authors of the corruption of governance report which outlines how Parliament was mislead over nuclear power.
