Study: Most U.K. nuclear sites are at risk for floods
The majority of nuclear sites in the U.K. are susceptible to coastal erosion and flooding, according to an unpublished study by the U.K.'s Department for Environment, Food and Rural Affairs. "Sea level rise, especially in the southeast of England, will mean some of these sites will be under water within 100 years," said David Crichton, a University College London professor. But EDF Energy said all of its U.K. nuclear sites have sufficient flood and storm protections. The Guardian (London)
