Nuclear Power is not the Answer to Climate Chaos
+
The UK government is now talking about massive expansion of nuclear
 +
power in the UK.  Sizewell is planned to be one of the first built.
 +
The safety and disposal of radioactive waste has still not been solved
 +
and even without a nuclear accident radioactivity released from nuclear
 +
power stations causes cancers and birth defects. Economically, building
 +
new reactors makes no sense and will divert attention and investment
 +
from finding real solutions to climate chaos and achieving a secure
 +
energy supply.  Campaigning against new-build is stepping up. If we
 +
want to stop the next generation of nuclear power – NOW is the time
 +
to act. Come join us for a weekend.

Sizewell is on the Suffolk Coast about 8 miles from the A12 about 100 miles from Central London. The nearest train station is Saxmundham which is 7 miles from Sizewell. There will be people cycling from Saxmundham with a nuclear white elephant on Friday so please get in contact if you would like to join them.  The postcode for the power station is IP16 4UE if you want to look it up on the Internet.

*What You Will Need
 +
 
 +
Food will be available at the camp (suggested donation £5 per day for 3 meals a day) so just bring the other stuff that you need – tent, waterproof clothing, ideas etc.  It may be windy and the soil under tents maybe sandy. Disabled access is possible; contact us if you would like to know more on accessibility.
 +
 
 +
*About The Camp
 +
 
 +
We want as many people as possible to feel comfortable at the camp, so please, if you have to bring alcohol, be responsible, keep it to a real minimum and no loud music please – successful campaigns need support from the people who live locally! The camp will not be run for you but by you so please be prepared to help out with washing-up etc.  It would be great to have some idea on numbers so that we can plan food etc, so if you can, please let us know if you are coming.
