Stop Sizewell C! Wrong Project, Wrong Time, Wrong Place.
EDF’s plans to build two new nuclear reactors at Sizewell in east Suffolk will have a devastating impact on this unique and magical place and is too slow and expensive compared to alternatives in the fight against Climate Change.

How can we stop Sizewell C?
- Money! If no one will invest, it cannot go ahead. You can help by writing to pension funds or other potential investors.
- Politics. If Sizewell C, or the tax needed to finance it, is unpopular, Ministers will listen. Sign our Petition with Together Against Sizewell C at www.stopsizewellcpetition.com or write to The Rt Hon Kwasi Kwarteng MP: enquiries@beis.gov.uk, Dear Secretary of State.
- Planning. If enough holes are found in EDF’s plans and the impacts outweigh the benefits, it could be refused consent. The planning process closed on 14 October 2021 and a decision is expected mid April 2022.

"The incident in the Chinese reactor last June is believed to be due to a design flaw in the reactor vessel. The incident which led in July to the shutdown of a reactor at the EPR nuclear power plant in Taishan (China) is believed to be due to a faulty design of the vessel, said the Independent Research and Information Commission on radioactivity (CRIIRAD) which warns against the risk of an identical problem on other EPRs.. .CRIIRAD wrote on Saturday to the management of the( French) Nuclear Safety Authority (ASN) to share this information which it says it has from a 'whistleblower'. "This is a Frenchman who works in the nuclear industry, having access to very precise technical information on the situation of the Taishan 1 reactor core," said Bruno Chareyron, director of the CRIIRAD laboratory."

L’incident survenu en juin dernier dans le réacteur chinois serait dû à un défaut de conception de la cuve

Yesterday @StopSizewellC and a group of Suffolk business leaders including @AndyatAdnams lunched with the Business Secretary of State @KwasiKwarteng. The Secretary of State called us the "anti #SizewellC table" but there were many others in the room who agreed judging by the applause when Andy raised our concerns. The Secretary of State was keen to emphasise that "there was a very long way to go" before any decision was reached. He also said we were "not backward in coming forward as a group" :-)

The PM: “We don't want to see undue influence by potentially adversarial countries in our critical national infrastructure and so that's why we have taken the decisions we have." errm, so you are OK about CGN's investment in @hinkleypointc @BorisJohnson?
