Description: The Low Level Radiation Campaign exposes a fatal error in official radiation risk estimates. The Justifications of nuclear power, nuclear weapons and disposals of radioactive waste need to be reviewed.

Electricité de France once more plans to dredge contaminated mud from the Severn Estuary near Hinkley Point and dump it on the South Wales coast. This is a re-run of 2018, but far bigger.

The Welsh environment agency, Natural Resources Wales (NRW), has run a public consultation on a proposed regime for testing the mud. It can't tell whether the mud is safe or not. This is the same issue LLRC raised in 2018. The tests are too crude to detect fine particles of uranium and plutonium which we know are present because they are emitted from routine operation of nuclear reactors as well as from fuel reprocessing at Sellafield, leaks, accidents and nuclear weapons. Particles up to 29 microns diamete

The background shows that the Welsh Government believes public concern about the mud is irrational and is driven by "liars and scaremongers" (as Environment Secretary Lesley Griffiths said in 2018). In fact, in order to comply with the law, Ministers and NRW need to address uncertainties and knowledge gaps.
