I was at several of the meetings in D&G during the attempt to dump their nuclear waste there. If I remember rightly, this was their second attempt at dumping in D&G. It appeared to be the female partners of the farmers who gave the loudest and most successful battle cry. It also has to be noted that because of the proven uncertainty in geological stability, burying was ruled out (rejection of NIREX's case by Sec. State Environment 1997, following inquiry). I thought that the logical conclusion from the inquiry was, above ground storage, for constant monitoring and inspection, and to utilise existing nuclear sites, in use or in decommissioning mode.
