Lakenheath + UK waiver - radiation risk & weapons storage

Protesters will set up a two-week peace camp outside RAF Lakenheath tomorrow after it emerged that all United States forces in Britain are exempt from meeting nuclear safety regulations. And CND said that activists will block the Suffolk base on April 26, the last day of their vigil. Declassified documents uncovered by CND show that former defence secretary Ben Wallace signed the “sensitive” waiver exempting US troops from telling local authorities they are storing nuclear weapons and exempt from sticking to regulations applied to radiation risks, leaving local authorities unable to draft disaster emergency plans. It is known that RAF Lakenheath is being prepared to host new US nuclear weapons, but the March 2021 waiver exempts all US bases in Britain.
