Nuclear safety regulator the Health and Safety Executive has just published reports on the four nuclear reactor designs under consideration for a new-build programme. The exercise included a special public comments process. This was advertised in national newspapers, leaflets were left in every public library and letters were sent to MPs, etc, etc.
Guess how many comments this trawl produced? Well, since you ask, it was 29. And 12 of these were deemed to be largely irrelevant to the designs involved.
You can’t win ’em all.
