Body Parts Scandal

Wales on Sunday report that TWO nuclear power stations in Wales may be included in a national inquiry into a major radioactive body parts scandal. Wylfa in Anglesey and Trawsfynydd in Gwynedd could form part of a government probe into whether organs were taken from deceased workers without their families' consent.....

British Nuclear Fuels - runs Wylfa and Trawsfynydd -
Wyfla, pictured above employs 660 workers, was the last and largest of the Magnox type of nuclear reactor power station of its type to be built in the UK. It started electricity generation in 1971 and will cease to do so in 2010. Wylfa Nuclear Power Station is situated just west of Cemaes, Anglesey, the northernmost village in Wales.

Trawsfynydd, which employs 500 workers, ceased to generate electricity in 1991.

Wales has two nuclear power stations. Trawsfynydd is closed and Wylfa is due to close in 2010. You can have your say in the consultaion to ensure that Wales has a nuclear free energy future. Say NO to nuclear power - Keep Wales Nuclear Free - The "Keep Wales Nuclear-Free" petition has been launched by Pembrokeshire Friends of the Earth. The petition is available at http://www.pembsfoe.org.uk. The group also want people to write to Blair. Sample letter available at http://www.pembsfoe.org.uk/Arm/armchair-2005.php#dec14.
