OUR DEMANDS:

1) Spent nuclear fuel shipments should be routed, as far as possible, to avoid centres of population, viaducts over 9 metres high, tunnels and level crossings.

2) Magnox power stations should all be shut immediately.

3) All remaining nuclear power stations should be shut down as soon as alternative sources of power can be developed.

4) No further nuclear power stations should be built until the problem of safe disposal of nuclear waste is solved.

5) Any existing governmental financial support to the nuclear industry, beyond that necessary to shut it down safely, should cease. Instead such support should be given to developing renewable sources of energy

6) Dry storage on site of AGR spent fuel should be investigated thoroughly.

7) Plans for emergencies involving the shipments should be made publicly available and emergency planning depts. should be told in advance of times of nuclear trains through their Borough. Such plans should be fully tested.

8) Emergency Service personnel should be adequately trained to deal with nuclear accidents.
