Wylfa Newydd update

According to the current Private Eye, the Hitachi design for the nuclear power plant replacement on Anglesey is not quite as new as we had been led to believe. The boiling-water reactor appears to be based on the models installed at Fukushima. These were not exactly fail-safe and, while Anglesey may not be prone to major earthquakes, the site is only 15 metres above sea-level. One trusts that the new design incorporates lessons from Fukushima.

The Eye also alleges that the "show-runner" for Wylfa Newydd was responsible for the most calamitous PFI in Ministry of Defence history.
