Nuclear Power Station Go Ahead Brings Jobs Cheer to Cornton
A major development on Global Warming.
PLANNERS at Stirling Council look likely to ignore more than 17 objections from locals and approve a new Fast Breeder Reactor (FBR) in Cornton. The decision is expected to great 162 new jobs amongst the unskilled, cheap electricity and free heating from the hot water generated by the cooling system.
Cornton Nuklear PLC want to build a new innovative Compact Fast Breeder Reactor on the site of the Bus Terminus in Johnstone Avenue near the new mobile phone mast.
A decision on the application hady been deferred twice by Stirling councillors, who wanted more information about council policy on Compact Nuclear Power Stations and the potential economic impact. CN PLC CEO Dr Peter Hartz welcomed the decision. "Cornton is now in a global player in the fight against global warming. Our revolutionary Compact Fast Breeder Reactor brings safe, clean environmentally friendly power to Cornton"
The new power station is one of the most productive in the world, generating 1400 megawatts - just 200 megawatts less than the giant Olkiluoto, reactor in Finland.
"This development means Cornton will not only benefit from an injection of employment, but all households will benefit from discounted electricity and a new free underground heating system when cooling water from the reactor will be circulated around the estate to provide central heating"
If the council fights the appeal it must make its views on the proposal clear to the Executive, but planning officials are recommending instead that the application is approved and that the appeal is not contested.
Cornton Community Council, however, still wants the application — which attracted a 17-signature petition — rejected.
