What a superb article! Thank you Zion. The story goes back even further; my wife Jenny was leading the planning inquiry preparation for the first Wylfa B when it was pulled by the Thatcher Govt in 1989.

Wow!! One of the best articles I read! Thank you Zion. I am currently working at the Hinkley site can totally correlate, how pulling off such large scale projects could impact local communities.

Very well done. Trawsfynydd and Wylfa have the transmission and switchyard infrastructure to reduce significantly the cost compared to a greenfield site.

The quality of work at the old Trawsfynydd station was very high, as one of my best professional friends was responsible for water chemistry at the site. His expertise was and is used by the world's largest nuclear plant at Bruce in Ontario to make very large savings in avoiding corrosion damage.

I'm hearing a very strong evangelism in your love of nuclear energy, Zion. I'm wondering if you are aware of how you may be serving deeper agendas? There's so much more to everything than meets the eye, if you step right back from these debates. Have a look at Gigi here: https://youtu.be/ssWLYUQ6vZU
