This Q & A explains the arguments against nuclear power, showing why it is not the answer to climate change, being far from a carbon-free energy source. Its true costs are summarised and its unique dangers are highlighted, including nuclear weapons proliferation, the potential for catastrophic accidents and the problem of radioactive waste. The negative international impact of the UK choosing to build new nuclear power stations is explored as are the negative consequences of discriminatory 'fuel bank' projects which undermine the Non-Proliferation Treaty. The Q & A also gives ways in which campaigners can voice their opposition to nuclear power.
