From Stephen Lunn
You report that sea-level rises of up to 5 metres are possible within 300 years (4 July, p 28). This timescale is well within the half-lives of many of the elements in radioactive waste, yet all the locations for nuclear new-builds that I have seen mooted are in low-lying coastal locations, and all would be threatened or inundated by a 5-metre rise. We should ensure that any nuclear new-build and waste storage facilities are located at least 80 metres above current sea level.
