Mail for help.Help!!

Log in to snowHeads to make it MUCH better! Registration's totally free, of course, and makes snowHeads easier to use and to understand, gives better searching, filtering etc. as well as access to 'members only' forums, discounts and deals that U don't even know exist as a 'guest' user. (btw. 50,000+ snowHeads already know all this, making snowHeads the biggest, most active community of snow-heads in the UK, so you'll be in good company)..... When you register, you get our free weekly(-ish) snow report by email. It's rather good and not made up by tourist offices (or people that love the tourist office and want to marry it either)... We don't share your email address with anyone and we never send out any of those cheesy 'message from our partners' emails either. Anyway, snowHeads really is MUCH better when you're logged in - not least because you get to post your own messages complaining about things that annoy you like perhaps this banner which, incidentally, disappears when you log in :-)

The global ski industry appears to be doing nothing - ZILCH - about climate change

....Winterhighland - fair points on the previous transport issue with UKAEA. But this is a different issue to nuclear power itself, surely.


Well, for nuclear power to be acceptable, one does have to have faith in all safety measures being taken properly. I am not so worried about the height of the bridge, since the risk of the bridge failing may be negligible a risk assessment matrix. Speeding is another matter. It would seem that the UKAEA was not transporting nuclear material as safely as should have been done. I note that was in the 90s, and hope that a disciplined approach is now taken. The point is surely to make sure safety procedures are carefully revised and rigidly adhered to. The last quoted impropriety being 10 years or so ago gives hope that that is the case.

Incidentally, full marks to the Northern police. Rather makes the case for not integrating our police forces too fully.

It has occurred to me that when Yellowstone blows discussion about global warming will seem rather academic.

Yellowstone blowing would represent all their dreams come true for some people: a reversal of global warming and, more to the point, the destruction of the Great Satan, the United States of America. They'd be celebrating right up to the point at which they realised they were starving to death.

petemillis, I think its an example of why merely ensuring the plans and reactors are safe isn't enough. The entire fuel cycle needs to be handled safely and within a coherent long term frame work. At the moment the policy appears to be one of hoping the Nuclear Waste issue will some how go away!!

With regards to the Kessock Bridge, the concern wasn't so much a bridge collapse but that one of the trucks or containers might leave the road following an accident - there are plenty of pretty high bridges and viaducts on the A9.

At the moment I would say no to new nuclear developments, but not never.

Slightly tongue-in-cheek, but actually it will! Radioactive isotopes decay, unlike equally nasty (stable) heavy metals. Skullie
