Marianne in Cumbria - Faultlines & Heysham near Lancaster

Letter to Lizzi Collinge MP: I am sure that you felt the earth move on

December 4th along with everyone else in the region as there was a sudden
movement along faults in the Morecambe Bay area between Silverdale and
Heysham. This was very scary for all concerned, we thought there had been a
massive explosion in Milnthorpe and immediate thoughts went to Heysham’s
dodgy old reactors. Following on from our previous correspondence with you,
the latest earthquake is a major reason why the old and embrittled reactors
at Heysham should be mothballed – there would still be jobs on the site
(maybe even more than now) for many years to come to ensure safe shut down
and decommissioning. The movement of the tectonic plates along the fault
near Heysham on December 4th is also a major reason why there should be no
new nuclear as advised by British Energy in 2002 and reported in the
Lancashire Telegraph. We would suggest that MPs should ask for a copy of
British Energy’s survey which found that a geological fault in the
Heysham area rules out a Heysham 3 and 4. For the nuclear industry and
local politicians to be ignoring this advice now in the context of a 3.3
earthquake in the Heysham area could be regarded as being reckless with the
public’s safety.
