Originally published in 1986. Nuclear power is now regarded as
essential to survival in the twenty-first century. But the safety
of nuclear power stations is a highly controversial topic, and
where they will be sited is a most vital question. In this
independent critique, based on four years of research, Stan
Openshaw argues that reactor siting provides a simple means of
offering additional, design-independent margins of safety. Reactor
siting policies in the UK and USA are examined and it is suggested
that UK siting practices need to be updated. The large number of
potential alternative sites should be used to devise new planning
strategies - strategies which will minimise both the residual
health risks from accidents and the danger that a future change in
public opinion might lead to calls for the closure of many existing
sites on safety grounds.
