Who we are & what we are about
Nonucleartrains.org.uk is the website of the Nuclear Trains Action Group (NTAG): a campaining organization opposing the transport of nuclear waste through densely populated areas such as London.
"Nuclear trains" are trains carrying used, but extremely radioactive, nuclear fuel rods from nuclear power stations to Sellafield in Cumbria for reprocessing. The reprocessing is not essential, and separates out plutonium. The main use of this is in nuclear weapons and there is a world glut of this extremely dangerous substance. The nuclear industry insist on calling the waste "spent fuel" but since there is little demand for plutonium it may actually have a negative value as it has to be safely stored for a very, very long time. The reprocessing does not reduce the total radioactivity but produces a much greater volume of somewhat lower level radioactivity, which has to be dealt with as a highly toxic waste.
| This website has been set up to provide basic information. A lot has still to be added, and the look and structure of the site may change. |
Site Organization & Navigation
This site is split into several sections, each with its own page. On each of these there are links to the other sections. At the top and bottom of each page is a button (NTAG) which will skip back to this page.
The bulk of this website is the 'InfoPack' which contains explanations of why the nuclear industry is a problem not a solution. This is organized somewhat like a book and has its own system of navigation.
What is available on the site (or will be):
-
our 8 demands briefly explained
InfoPack: detailed background information & more
-
the last 12 months newsletters (on this page)
