Stop Sizewell C has applied to the High Court for permission to challenge the Office for Nuclear Regulation’s (ONR's) grant of a nuclear site licence for Sizewell C in May. Our issue is that the licensed site boundary does not include the sea defences and proposed new flood barriers, which are absolutely critical to future site safety. You can read our press statement here
It is imperative that these issues are resolved before there was any Final Investment Decision made to take the project forward, for in this age of climate change how can there be confidence by investors or the public that the ONR has the powers and the oversight necessary to keep the site safe into the latter half of the next century?
We thought long and heard about initiating this legal challenge, but we believe it is a hugely important matter of public interest, extraordinarily critical to Sizewell C but also to every licensed nuclear site as we anticipate climate-related impacts to accelerate.
Update, October 2024: unfortunately our initial application was refused, but we have submitted an appeal, called a renewal. We are currently waiting for information about when this renewal will be heard.
We urgently need your financial support. We appreciate that times are tough but we are deeply grateful for any help you can give.
