This made me laugh out loud.
1) I support Sizewell c & d. There's already two big reactors there, a third and fourth one make no difference to be fair.
2) I live about 20km from Sizewell.
3) The road that will be choked with traffic from building it is 1.5km away, the rail track is also 1.5km away - they should really build a sea pier like last time.
4) 5 years ago the wet storage at Sizewell suffered a leak.
5) No one noticed, until someone decided to do a wash [https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/jun/11/nuclear-waste-nuclearpower https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2009/jun/11/nuclear-...]
6) If they hadn't noticed then pond would have boiled enough to expose the rods. This would have taken just a few hours.
7) A column of fire would have erupted out of the pond, creating a radioactive plume that would have rendered my house uninhabitable, for like, 200 years.
So, I do not give a toss about whether it glows green or not... but it's definitely scary stuff that needs to be watched.
She is right about weapons though, that stuff is the real deal. There's 1000 Hiroshima's worth of Plutonium in a shed on the other side of the country [ https://www.wired.co.uk/article/inside-sellafield-nuclear-waste-decommissioning https://www.wired.co.uk/article/inside-sellafield-nuclear-wa...] - that's even scarier.
