Sizewell C consultation 3rd Stage Submission Date 20th March 2019 & 27th September 2020 I am completely opposed to the plan by EDFE to construct 2 new Nuclear reactors on the coast at Sizewell in Suffolk. The reasons for my opposition are: The financial viability of the plant is questionable with initial construction costs funded by vulnerable Chinese and other foreign investors and delivery at a sustainable and economically viable consumption price per unit. It will involve the destruction of an AONB (Area of Outstanding Natural Beauty), Involve the deterioration of SSSI sites (Site of Special Scientific Interest) The close proximity to the national and internationally important wildlife and bird reserve at Minsmere It will be sited on a vulnerable and eroding coastline which with rising sea levels makes the area prone to penetration. The development in close proximity to existing nuclear reactors will make it more prone to natural, radioactive release and terrorist disasters. Less risky technologies to mitigate against the effects of climate change are available and should be exploited further. Destruction of the local environment has not been effectively costed.
