LABOUR ENVIRONMENT CAMPAIGN

Successive British governments have supported the reprocessing of spent nuclear 
fuel, despite its irrationality, high costs, pollution, health hazards, proliferation 
dangers and strong opposition from environmental groups and the public.
This pamphlet describes the safer, cheaper and environmentally benign alternative - 
dry storage - used by most other nuclear countries. Britain's adherence to 
reprocessing results in our being out of step with the rest of the world.
The pamphlet recommends that the Labour Government should take steps to stop 
reprocessing and switch to dry storage. This will benefit public health, protect the 
environment and save up to £6 billion.

SERA, the Socialist Environment and Resources Asssociation, is the environment 
campaign affiliated to the Labour Party, yet is an independent pressure group.

Believing that social and environmental concerns can, and must, be addressed 
together we work to integrate green ideas into the policy and ideology of the 
Labour Party and the wider Labour Movement.
