Real fears have to be addressed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych]
Councillors will decide whether to pinpoint a possible site for underground storage of nuclear waste somewhere in west Cumbria,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Despite official denials that no site has yet been identified,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], feelings are running high over the county that the area's rock formations might be unsuitable for burial of radioactive material.
Fears that the county might be drifting right into a dangerous trap,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], tempted by promises of jobs,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], prosperity and also the lifting of the struggling region into wealth,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], are really the - and as yet unallayed.
Now Lord Hutton,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], an old Cumbrian MP and chairman of the Nuclear Industry Association has added his voice to the debate,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], cautioning against the pitfalls of scaremongering and reiterating the benefits open to Cumbrians,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], should a repository be accepted.
He rightly points out that all available benefits ought to be grasped by those most closely active in the generation of nuclear energy,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], while identifying west Cumbria as a centre of nuclear excellence.
His logic is undeniable - but so might be worries the main thing on the minds of residents,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych].
Until they can be calmed,[link widoczny dla zalogowanych],[link widoczny dla zalogowanych], a race for the financial advantages of making Cumbria a radioactive burial ground could simply be divisive in a community renowned for its cohesion. |
