There are vast tranches of Devon that are devoid of human habitation and where there is significant levels of readioactive polution, enough to be a human health hazard!
... its Radon gas that escapes from the famous granite rock formations that make up much of the county...
Granite formations are mostly found in Cornwall and Dartmoor, around here its SOLID BALL CLAY and further out its sandstone. yes there are large areas where hardly anyone lives and thats where i'm going WTSHTF!!
I would rather have no nuclear and therefore no electricity, its was because of nuclear we left Glastonbury. i would rather have no power(at all) than have to live under the threat of a nuclear accident or terrorist threat.
Fair enough BP, we all make our own appraisals.
