Perhaps the most controversial issue to arise out of environmental movement, and one on which the Church, as with wider UK society, remains divided. Some see it as the source of energy above all to avoid, for its sinister connotations, or the risk of a major accident , or implications of the long-lived nuclear waste. Others regard the risks as important but exaggerated, provided a high standard of safety, regulation and surveillance is mainained. The economics is no less a source of conflict than its safety aspects.
In this suite of pages we have an overall assessment of the issues as seen in 1996 What Future for Nuclear Power?, and a brief comment in June 1998 on What Lessons from Dounreay?. In April 1996, the SRT Project's Director visited Chernobyl on the occasion of the tenth anniversary of the accident, which turned out to be unexpectedly dramatic, and recorded his impressions of what he saw in Chernobyl Reminder.
