The Independent, a major newspaper in the UK, courageously wrote about my concerns with the headline: Nuclear expert Arnie Gundersen warns of 'Chernobyl on steroids' risk in UK from proposed Cumbria plant. I call this problem “the chimney effect” and wrote a paper about it entitled “ Nuclear Containment Failures- Ramifications for the AP1000 Containment Design”. Like Sir John, I believe that filters must be added to the top of the AP1000 shield building to prevent huge amounts of radiation from being released during a meltdown. Since 2010, I have repeatedly said that the AP1000 design suffers the same design flaw as the old Windscale reactor. Three new AP1000 reactors are proposed to be built in Cumbria within sight of “Cockcroft’s Folly”. Too contaminated even now to be removed, “Cockcroft’s Folly” stands in the middle of the Sellafield nuclear reprocessing plant, part of a more than $60 Billion cleanup planned for the neighboring stretch of coastline along the contaminated the Irish Sea. Then came the Windscale nuclear core fire and those “unnecessary” filters saved thousands of lives. Naysayers nicknamed the filters “Cockcroft’s Folly”, and no one believed they were necessary. The British nuclear establishment laughed at him, but he was unyielding and persisted in his cause until the filters were added to Windscale. When Windscale was under construction, Sir John Cockcroft, a great engineer and Nobel Prize winner, insisted that filters be added to the ventilation stack. Filters on that stack, thankfully, captured most of the radiation released during the 1957 Windscale catastrophe. There in the fog and rain stood “Cockcroft’s Folly”, a ventilation stack on the old Windscale reactor. Surprisingly, it was in Cumbria that I saw the most poignant reminder of how dangerous nuclear power is.

Thankfully, many people in the UK disagree and see a nuclear free future! Similar to the US, the financially influential electric power monopolies have convinced a majority of the MPs that there is no alternative to nuclear power. When I spoke at the House of Commons, it was clear that only a minority of the MP’s (like US Representatives) could envision an energy future different than the past. With that background, I understand why the citizens of the UK embrace a nuclear free future. The United Kingdom is anything but united when it comes to how it will produce electricity in the 21st century!īritain has experienced the dangers of nuclear power first hand as the site of the world’s first major nuclear disaster at Windscale, receiving huge amounts of contamination from Chernobyl fallout in Wales, and contaminating the Irish Sea with Plutonium at its waste reprocessing plant at Sellafield. Still, it seems that the established British utilities are so fixated on nuclear power that they just offered to charge their customers twice the current market price for electricity for the next 35-years, so that a French nuclear company could build a fancy and untried new nuclear design at Hinkley Point. They know that the dated model of big business centralized electricity production is ending, and they see a clean, disaster free viable alternative in locally distributed generation. I spoke to hundreds of people in London and Cumbria who are committed to a new energy future for Europe.

My week in the UK was exciting and full of surprises.
