The fact is we face a desperate crisis on the basis of the failure of the ESI to replace the base load thermal power stations installed over a long period by CEGB prior to the totally crass Government decision to privatise the industry in the early 1990's.

I was a nuclear chemist at Sellafield (previously Windscale) for just under five years, and subsequently at the Gloucester Design Offices of the CEGB for over 20 years, where I was involved in the design of, among other things, the Sizewell B power station.
