The Web Site

This web-site will try to provide clear and independent information and analysis of nuclear part of the new Energy Review public consultation, and ask the kinds of questions that may need to be answered, including: how will significant "what if" issues - such as nuclear fuel supply and manufacture, vulnerability to attack, waste, radiation risk, decommissioning, reactor siting, costs of electricity-generating technologies, true renewable and energy efficiency modelling - be taken into account during the consultation?

Will the consultation be directed by the government, and how will information about these issues be presented?

About Us

Nuclearconsult is an independent website. The website aims to provide straightforward information and analysis of the nuclear aspects of the Energy Review consultation. The website is part of a project called ‘Nuclear Aspects of the Energy Review’.

The project is lead by Dr Paul Dorfman, Senior Research Fellow at University of Warwick, to carry out work into the UK government’s public consultation on nuclear aspects of the Energy Review. Paul has engaged in a series of key UK and EU policy, scientific advisory, environmental radiation risk, and citizen-centred. Paul has high-level experience on nuclear risk and health policy matters, including:

• Co-secretary to the UK government scientific advisory Committee Examining Radiation Risk from Internal Emitters (CERRIE). 
   
• Advisor to the EU Policy Interpretation Network on Childhood Health in Europe (PINCHE).
   
• Core Team Member, Steering Group Member, and consultant to Construction Industry Research and Information Association (CIRIA) ‘SAFEGROUNDS’ (Safety and Environmental Guidance for the Remediation of Nuclear and Defence Sites).

• Working, Co-ordinating and Drafting Group member of the ‘TIMESCALES’ Magnox Nuclear Reactor Decommissioning Consultation Dialogue (to provide evidence on the timing of Magnox reactor decommissioning
   
• Member of the ISOLUS (Interim Storage Of Laid-Up Submarines) Advisory Group (IAG) concerning the development and implementation of a solution for the dismantling of UK's defuelled nuclear powered submarines.
