Zelenskyy sounds alarm over unprecedented power outage at Zaporizhzhia nuclear plant Ukrainian president says Russian shelling is preventing work to restore links to grid and that one of the plant’s diesel generators has failed

"Zelenskyy said: “This is a threat to everyone. No terrorist in the world has ever dared to do with a nuclear power plant what Russia is doing now. And it is right that the world not remain silent.”"

UK nuclear plant to add £200,000 a year to large businesses’ energy bills, analysts say Cornwall Insight estimates impact of cost of building Sizewell C on companies in Britain

#NoNewNuclear - cost is just one of the arguments against it. See also too slow, lack of resilience, inability to deal with waste, and safety

Is the UK’s giant new nuclear power station ‘unbuildable’? Meant to withstand being hit by an aircraft, industry veterans warn of the Sizewell C design’s ‘terrifying’ complexity

What to say but #NoNewNuclear?

"UK government and bill payers are on the hook for Sizewell. The state will provide £36.5bn of debt to fund the estimated £38bn price tag and be responsible if costs go beyond £47bn"

The nuclear-powered submarine crisis The escalating problems with Britain's nuclear submarines, both operational and retired, should sound the alarm for Australia and the United States.

So it transpires that not only is the decommissioning of nuclear power plants costing us £33 billion a year, but the navy has not really worked out what to do with its 20 retired nuclear subs.

Utterly preposterous. We should not be building any new nuclear power stations anywhere. All new projects should be abandoned and only keep the existing stations online until they reach the end of their life.
£100bn will buy a LOT of renewable installations.

This is a scandalous waste and lack of political will. Imagine what the impact would be if 38b and rising on just ONE new nuclear reactor that won't deliver for a decade was focused on building out renewables, and making the grid and buildings "smart" and more resiliant #NoNewNuclear #RenewablesNow

Sellafield nuclear clean-up too slow and too costly, say MPs Parliamentary committee raises concerns over ‘suboptimal’ workplace culture at ageing waste dump

Little talked about: true cost of nuclear ☢️ to society. It’s “failure, cost overruns, and continuing safety concerns. Given the tens of billions at stake, and the dangers on site to both the environment and human life”

Hunterston B power station declared 'nuclear free' Three years after shutting down, all spent fuel has now been removed from the site for long-term storage.

"Deconstruction is a big project and we think it will last at least another decade.
We are trying to get the site to a phase called 'safe store', which means a lot of dismantling, demolition, carefully decontaminating."

The cost! #NoNewNuclear

Nuclear Energy Undermines Climate Action If the goal is to keep fossil fuel-fired plants operating as long as possible, promising to build more nuclear energy has definite appeal.

Nuclear Energy Means Climate Action Delay: as true in uk as it is in Canada.
Promising to build more nuclear power is a political path to climate action delay and a distraction from a sustainable & decarbonized energy system transition.

Let’s hear it for the ‘blockers’ – support common sense, not nonsense!

With the headline ‘Government rips up rules to fire-up nuclear power’, the PM’s outrageous attack on environmentalists, conservation groups, councils and even regulators was a stream of assertions, misjudgements, half-truths and nonsense.
