Description

Nirex spokesman Peter Curd on nuclear waste disposal, in the context of Nirex’s applying for permission to test drill at Sellafield in Cumbria and Dounreay in Caithness, with a view to establishing a nuclear waste dump. He says there is very little danger of leaks, as the material is well buried; he also talks about opposition faced by Nirex, and the need to build up public confidence. Female interviewer not identified.
