Letter: Safety worries

Published 13 November 2013

From Gregory Sams

When I read about the new safety features in the proposed nuclear reactors at Hinkley Point in the UK (19 October, p 6), I became increasingly concerned about the absence of these in our existing reactors. The Hinkley plan makes one realise that as yet none of its ancestors has had a proper burial.
