In the latest step in it’s nuclear ‘renaissance’, the British government has listed the eleven sites where it thinks new reactors could be built. The sites are:

Hartlepool nominated by EDF Energy
Heysham nominated by EDF Energy
Dungeness nominated by EDF Energy
Sellafield nominated by NDA
Kirksanton nominated by RWE
Braystones nominated by RWE
Wylfa Peninsula nominated by NDA and RWE
Oldbury nominated by NDA and EON
Hinkley Point nominated by EDF Energy
Bradwell nominated by NDA
Sizewell nominated by EDF Energy

The BBC has a map on its website showing the sites.

The UK government is holding a consultation where members of the public can have their say about the proposed sites. You’ll have to be quick - the consultation only runs for a month from today.

We hope this public consultation will be more open, transparent and honest than the other nuclear consultations the British government has held. A high court judge called the first one ‘unfair’, ‘misleading’, ‘very seriously flawed’ and ‘procedurally unfair’.

During the second, Opinion Leader Research who conducted opinion polls about nuclear power on behalf of the government, were found to be in breach of their code of conduct. The Marketing Research Standards Board said Opinion Leader "information was inaccurately or misleadingly presented, or was imbalanced, which gave rise to a material risk of respondents being led towards a particular answer."

Can the UK government get it right this time and put their faith in their arguments rather than dirty tricks and deception? We’ll be watching.
