No Radioactive Dump in Welsh Coastal Waters
Don't dump over 300,000 tonnes of radioactive mud into Welsh coastal waters
Why is this important?
Independent experts have warned this reckless dumping of radioactive mud into coastal waters could result in contamination spreading via the sea. [1] Heavily contaminated waste from Sellafield has washed up on seashores in dangerous concentrations - if this dumping isn't stopped, the same could happen again.
Big business is trying to push this through - without a full environmental impact study, we have no assurance this toxic waste won't wind up on Irish shores.
