Today I was delighted to be able to represent LAND our Radiation Free Lakeland campaign at the Protest against the GDF (Nuclear Dump) plans by Locals. Twenty locals turned up today in Haverigg to protest the siting of a Geological Disposal Facility aka Nuclear Dump for heat generating nuclear wastes under the Irish Sea off …

Cumbria Coal Mine – Don’t Mention the Nuclear Dump and Our “Invaluable” Advisor
Listening to the talking heads on BBC going on about the coal mine and deliberately avoiding the elephant in the room has prompted this petition calling for the sacking of the Coal boss from his role as “invaluable” Government advisor for the Nuclear Dump plans.
Government is due to make a decision on whether or not the Cumbria Coal Mine should go ahead. This would be the first deep coal mine in over 30 years. This area of the Irish Sea includes Marine Conservation Zones and other protections
The CEO of the proposed “Woodhouse Colliery” is Mark Kirkbride.
In 2019 Mark Kirkbride was appointed to the Government Committee on Radioactive Waste Management.
Kirkbride’s “invaluable” role in that Committee involves:
“scrutiny and provision of advice to BEIS (Dept of Business Energy and Industrial Strategy) and…

From the Whitehaven News 17th June 2022 "Charges were set, and while the Coastguard watched for walkers in the area, the item was disposed of in the time-honoured fashion. Teams stood down shortly after and returned to their respective stations. It is 12 months to the day that we were in the exact same place, …

Excellent article by Beyond Nuclear on the torture about to be inflicted on our marine wildlife unles……
By Linda Pentz Gunter
Imagine being subjected to ear-shattering blasts every ten seconds, twenty four hours a day for four straight weeks? By any metric, that would qualify as the most appalling form of torture.
But that is exactly what is about to be inflicted on whales, dolphins, seals and other marine creatures in the Irish Sea if a new wave of opposition cannot stop it.
The Irish Sea is already the most radioactive sea in the world, in large part a result of decades of radioactive discharges from the Sellafield reprocessing facility on the Cumbrian shoreline.
Now, Nuclear Waste Services (NWS) has contracted a company called Shearwater Geosciences to blast its undersea seismic airguns off the Cumbria coast this summer, calling it “scientific research”.
NWS, a division of the Nuclear Decommissioning Authority, is tasked with finding…

This summer, there are plans to conduct seismic surveys off the coast of Cumbria, to investigate the feasibility of depositing heat generating, high level nuclear waste in a Nuclear Geological Disposal Facility (GDF), at a depth of up to 1000 metres below the seabed. Charlie Jaay …

T shirt freshly painted for tomorrow's rally. It is bizarre that people fully believed the fake whale in Whitehaven was real and the press happily went along with the hoax under banner headlines. But the same national and local press are saying nothing at all about the siesmic testing for a deep hot nuclear dump …
