The technology of nuclear fission is rapidly becoming outdated and as is well known the costs are far greater than renewable technologies . The possible connection with China is dismaying as it leaves UK vulnerable to what is in effect a dictatorship . EDF have not performed well with the newer nuclear technology and there are regular reports of cracks in structures and internal parts . They also have a record of ignoring serious flaws . The waste levels have been improved over the years but as yet the waste has not been safely stored in the light of the extremely long timescales it requires This leaves a poor legacy to future generations who would have to decommission it . It also leaves vulnerabilities to attack in an increasingly unstable world It is also vulnerable to the effects of climate change Please do not approve such an unnecessary project that would be so damaging if it went wrong as in Fukushima in Japan
