Here is a compilation of all the papers published by BANNG since 2009. They constitute a remarkable archive of information, expert knowledge and recommendations to government, regulators, the nuclear industry as well as the informed public. They are BANNG’s most important asset in the fight to prevent new nuclear build at Bradwell:
