cidents, they won't be as disastrous as the one at Chernobyl? That instead of thousands, only hun dreds will be threatened. Some comfort!
Day by day, nuclear power fires, leaks and other accidents will happen and cannot be prevented because they are inherent in nuclear technology. There was a fire at Windscale, a smaller version of the Chernobyl one, in 1957.
Equally serious is the obvious between Reagan/Thatcher's war drive - as well as Thatcher's miner-bashing.
Why is the establishment so desperate to preserve ecause it is cheaper. On the contrary, a very clear survey in the influential US magazine International Business Week two weeks ago concluded that: too much low-cost oil and coal is quickly transforming Europe's choice, nuclear power, into an inefficient and even hazardous route to energy independence. A reason for choosing nuclear power is to maintain or develop a capacity to produce nuclear weapons - and in the case of Britain to attack the NUM.
That is why Kinnock's failure to use the Chernobyl incident to argue against all nuclear power was totally wrong. ment must stick by decided on and go for a nuclear-free policy The 'it couldn't happen here', coming out of the press must not fool the labour movement for one minute. It could happen here - and if Thatcher gets her way one day probably will. Western scientists - those who brought us such wonders as Hiroshima, and the infallible space shuttle - are capable of anything.
Our position should be clear. First all aid and support for the Soviet disaster - and as we go to press the full scale of the disaster is still not known. Second no nuclear power the closing of Sellafield, no building of Sizewell, and the closing of all existing nuclear power stations.
the evidence is mounting that is simply not safe.
