Public Meeting in Maldon on 25 April, 2017
The meeting will be held in the United Reform Church Hall, Market Hill, Maldon, CM9 4PZ at 7.30 p.m. The title of the meeting is: ‘A new nuclear power station at Bradwell – expensive, dangerous and unnecessary’.

Three well-known experts will be speaking on why new nuclear power at Bradwell makes no sense. Professor Stephen Thomas of the University of Greenwich will argue that the project is too expensive and unlikely to happen; Professor Andy Blowers, Open University, Chair of BANNG and author of The Legacy of Nuclear Power (Routledge, 2017), will speak on why the Bradwell site is unacceptable; and Professor Keith Barnham, Nuclear and Solar Physicist of Imperial College, London and author of The Burning Answer: A User’s Guide to the Solar Revolution (Weidenfeld and Nicolson, 2015), will show why a renewables future is the way forward for energy.
