Doug Bostrom"In June 2025 the UK Government announced a £14.2bn investment to support building a new nuclear power station, Sizewell C, on the east coast of England as the latest step in its policy to achieve “net zero” greenhouse gas emissions by 2050. It did so despite unresolved questions about the wisdom of commissioning the construction of Sizewell C's forerunner Hinkley Point C (HPC) in 2016. Two years after making the latter decision the Government of Theresa May decided not to provide financial support for the construction of a tidal lagoon on the coast of South Wales as a technology demonstrator, claiming that HPC offered better value-for-money for consumers. These decisions were widely viewed as connected. This article examines the validity of the cost calculations that formed the basis of these decisions, costings which still underpin the policy of successive UK Governments of favouring nuclear power in the technology mix for transitioning the UK to a “net zero” electricity supply by 2050. It is shown from official documents, reports of publicly funded independent bodies and the scientific literature that their policy of favouring nuclear power is based on misinformation and inconsistent application of their costing methodology. It is further shown that correcting these defects and taking into account essential other costs, decommissioning and safe storage of toxic waste results in tidal lagoons providing significantly better value-for-money for consumers and taxpayers."

Peripatetic Plutonium - Lawyers, Guns & Money
The US government has 34 tons of plutonium it wants to dispose of. By 1990, the US and Russia held something like 65,000 nuclear weapons. The dissolution of the Soviet Union led to significant decreases on both sides. Bill Clinton negotiated an agreement that the US and Russia would each dispose of 34 tons of […]
PaulJapan's pro-nuclear Niigata governor just won re-election. Kashiwazaki-Kariwa, Japan's largest nuclear plant with seven reactors, moves closer to restart. The Hormuz disruption made this election matter more than it would have two years ago.

MikeDunnAuthorToday in Labor History May 24, 1980: Hundreds were arrested in the occupation of Seabrook, New Hampshire, nuclear power plant construction site. The Clamshell Alliance was the main organizer. Founding members of the Clamshell Alliance include presidential candidate and left-green activist, Howie Hawkins, as well as journalist and anti-nukes activist Harvey Wasserman. Keith McHenry, cofounder of Food Not Bombs, also cut his activist teeth with the Clamshells.
