Nuclear site

REGARDING the article on Flatholm as a proposed nuclear dump (Barry and District News, June 16).

Nuclear waste is lethal and there is no way to get rid of it.

The wastes they planned to dump at Flatholm or St Athan was not "medium grade danger" as reported, but so called "Intermediate Level", which means only that it doesn"t require special cooling measures to remove internal heat.

Those who are persuaded that Britain needs a further generation of nuclear power stations, also would logically accept that the nuclear waste dump could be in the Vale.

The silence of our MP, AM and County Council on this prospect should be a warning to people in the Vale.
