My name is Terry and this is my Blog. I recently read Cormac McCarthy's new book entitled 'the Road', an apocalyptic story of a nameless man and son wandering through the world looking for the good of what was left, the world had obviously been subjected to some mammoth distaster, I suspect nuclear. I also watched a programme some months ago on RTE (Irish National Public Broadcast System) called 'Fall Out', describing the scenario where Sellfield's nuclear reactors exploded leaving the East Coast of Ireland utterly vulnerable to the consequences of radiation poisoning etc. It's been sometime since this subject bothered me and to be honest I know very little other than what I have looked up online. I do feel bothered by it but in an uneducated way. One side paints doom and gloom the other says its all going to be alright. I felt drawn to doing something to further my education, like creating a blog to see what other people think, even if the blog is short lived I would be very interested to know how others feel. I am new to this and feel apprehensive about doing it but if there are those of you who would like to contribute constructively please do!
So my starting question and only question is.
Why should I or we who live on the East Coast of Ireland be fearful of the Sellafield Nuclear reprocessing plant located in Cumbria, west coast of England and What absolute evidence is there for me to be afraid of this place?
