Fishing One of THE BEST BEACHES in the UK!
In this Totally Awesome episode Graeme braves the traffic of the M25 and heads 3 hours down to Kent, to fish Dungeness beach. He had Cod in mind, but overnight the wind dropped, the sea went flat, the water cleared...everything you don't want for shore Cod....but he persevered and ended up getting amongst some fish. That's dedication for you! Hope you enjoy the episode.

Dungeness Old & New Lighthouses, September 2014
This video documents the two fascinating lighthouses at the headland of Dungeness in Kent filmed on 1st September 2014. I have had a lifelong interest in intresting buildings and structures, and had wanted to see these two lighthouses for a long time. The Dungeness New Lighthouse is the first lighthouse to be shown in this video and this was opened in 1961 by the Duke of Gloucester. This tower unusually rises from a concrete base in the form of a spiral ramp, and is now an automatic lighthouse (since 1991).
The second lighthouse to be shown is Dungeness' original Old lighthouse, opened in 1904. This grade II listed building is open to the public and stands around 150ft tall, with spectacular views across the English channel. This lighthouse was decommissioned in 1960 after which it was replaced in functioning by the new lighthouse a few hundred yards away.
Filmed on my Sony Cybershot DSC-H55 digital camera on 1st September 2014.

Defuelling completed at Sizewell A
The last flask of fuel was safely removed from Sizewell A in August 2014, reducing the radioactive hazard on site by more than 99 per cent.
Revenge of the Bladderwracks - how radioactive is the seaweed on Mersea now?
Over the last few weeks a number of Mersea folk have repeated the concerns that the seaweed landing up on Mersea was radioactive during the time the now decommissioned power station was operational.
Former employees warned about 'popping' the little 'sacs' on the fronds of bladderwrack as the contents would emit beta radiation. Whilst I have been unable to find any written evidence to validate finds on Mersea beaches other reports confirm beta emission which therefore gives good provenance to this anecdotal narrative:
So it was too good a story not to follow up with such a potential of a win-win outcome. Whilst it was great news to discover no radioactive contamination it would have also been intriguing to detect some residue let behind after the 40 years of generation. Certainly this would have added to the evidence against the damage Bradwell B would cause to the environment and marine ecology in the Blackwater estuary and beyond.

Sizewell B Power Station
Sizewell B is one of two nuclear power stations near the village of Sizewell on the coast of Suffolk. Its predecessor Sizewell A is currently being decommissioned.
Construction of the station, with its distinctive white ‘golf ball’ dome, started in 1988 and was completed on schedule. It cost £2bn at 1987 prices. About a quarter of this went on civil engineering works.

Probenahme Sellafield | Cumbria 2019
Im März 2019 wurde vom Institut für Radioökologie und Strahlenschutz eine Probennahme-Kampagne an der Westküste Englands durchgeführt. Beprobt wurden Flüsse, küstennah die irische See und anliegende Böden bzw. Sedimente, um diese später auf Radionuklide zu untersuchen. Interessant ist dieses Gebiet insbesodere aufgrund der kerntechnischen Anlage Sellafield, ehemals ein Kernkraftwerk und heute eine Wiederaufbereitungsanlage für verbrauchten Kernbrennstoff.
Wir danken der Manchester University für die Kooperation und die Hilfe bei der Probennahme.
-------------------------------
The Institute of Radioecology and Radiation Protection, Leibniz University of Hanover, prepared and performed a sampling trip to the west coast of England in March 2019. Aim of this sampling campaign was to get water, soil and sediment samples from the Irish Sea and rivers in the vicinity of Sellafield. Analyses of the samples will be conducted in the laboratories in Germany.
Nowadays, Sellafield is a nuclear reprocessing plant, formerly used as nuclear power plant.
We thank the The University of Manchester for helping us to find our way through Cumbria and the possibility to get those samples.

Divers complete ponds mission at Sizewell A Site
Specialist divers have completed their mission to deal with radioactive waste from Sizewell A Site’s nuclear fuel storage ponds, nearly two months ahead of schedule.
The team of underwater experts explored new depths at Sizewell A, with the task of cutting up former fuel storage skips and other redundant equipment as part of the work to decommission the former nuclear power station.

A trip to...Abberton Reservoir Visitor Centre in Essex
A little tour of Abberton Reservoir and the Visitor Centre, near Colchester in Essex.
They do bird watching, star gazing, great Hallowe'en nights and have a lovely wood burner and cafe.
If you forget your binoculars or telescope, you can buy some or they'll usually lend you some.
There's a great play area for the kids, too.
Boycott EDF
Go to boycottedf.org.uk
Nuclear power, no thanks! Boycott EDF to show that you don't want new nuclear power stations in Britain.
Script of the video:
Have you heard that EDF are planning to build a new generation of nuclear power stations in the UK. Will you join the boycott of EDf? And show them that you don't want new nuclear power stations?
But I thought nuclear power was great? I thought nuclear power was safe.
Haven't you heard of Chernobyl? Or Three Mile Island?
But didn't those happen a long time ago? The technology must have improved since then. Surely nuclear power is much safer now?
They were in the seventies and eighties, but in the last 10 years there have been near-disasters at reactors in Sweden, the Netherlands, Japan and France.
But what about Britain? Surely we do it better here?
No, not really. Bradwell nuclear power station was leaking liquid radioactive waste for 14 years until the leak was discovered in 2004.
Surely that was just an isolated incident?
No, not really. Earlier this year five bin bags of radioactive waste were discovered in a landfill site. The nuclear industry in Britain is struggling to deal with more than 500,000 cubic metres of nuclear waste. There is no approved method of long term storage. New nuclear power stations will only make more waste.
But if they are building more power stations they must have found a solution for the waste?
No, not really. They are trying to find a site for a high level nuclear waste dump, but they haven't found one yet. Not many people want to have that in their town!
But wouldn't new nuclear create lots of new jobs?
Renewable energy development would create even more jobs. And renewables have none of the dangers associated with nuclear energy.
But wouldn't nuclear power be cheaper?
No, not at all! The current decommissioning and clean-up costs for Britain's existing nuclear industry is equivalent to a bill of over £1,600 for every person in Britain. No nuclear power station has been built in Britain without public subsidies to manage nuclear waste, insure against accidents and provide protection against terrorism.
But David Cameron says new reactors will be built without public subsidy.
Don't believe everything politicians say! No reactor has ever been built in Britain without public subsidy. It's likely that the government will have to step in at some point to pay for clean-up and the massive building costs. You can't cut corners with nuclear power, so if the industry makes a mistake, the government will end up footing the bill to fix it.
But I heard that if we don't build more nuclear power stations they will have to switch the lights off!
The problem is that new nuclear power stations won't be ready in time. The current coal and nuclear power stations are ageing and many will have to close. But new nuclear power stations won't be ready to fill that energy gap.
That's terrible! What can we do?
Renewable technologies can be built much more quickly than nuclear power stations. There are more than enough renewable sources to meet our energy needs. We can also reduce our consumption and improve efficiency by insulating and using combined heat and power stations. It is really important to act now!
What can I do?
You can show EDF that you don't want nuclear power by switching electricity supplier. Choose a supplier that produces electricity from renewables and you will be supporting the move towards clean, green and safe energy for the future.
How can I do that?
Switching energy provider online is easy. Go to boycotted.org.uk where there is a list of green energy suppliers.
What was that website again?
boycottedf. org.uk Tell nuclear power to EDF-off. So, do you want nuclear power?
No thanks.
Sizewell A Site declared fuel free
The Office for Nuclear Regulation has accepted that Magnox's Sizewell A Site is fuel free with 99 per cent of the radioactive hazard now removed from the former power station.
The final flask of fuel was dispatched to Sellafield in Cumbria for reprocessing in summer 2014 and since then a rigorous verification process has been undertaken, including the deployment of remotely operated vehicles, to check the cooling ponds are empty.
This film shows those vehicles in action.
