In response to the news of the Radioactive leak at Dounreay, Louise Hutchins, Greenpeace Energy campaigner said:

"This is a chilling reminder that Britain's nuclear industry, despite all it's assurances, is not able to keep its plants secure. Even as they are decommissioned and even after billions in tax payers' money has been thrown at them.

Instead of colluding with the industry to race ahead with a new generation of reactors, and before we can learn the lessons from the Fukushima disaster, the government should back clean, safe renewable energy alternatives and boost jobs and growth with it."
