INTRODUCTION TO CORE. CORE started in 1980, campaigning on the import of foreign spent nuclear fuel through the port of Barrow. The group has since expanded it's campaign to cover the effects of the sea and air discharges from Sellafield; nuclear waste management; the health effects of low level radiation; research on the effects of Chernobyl fallout; compensation cases for people effected by radiation (workers and public alike) and on reprocessing itself. A detailed copy of the CORE remit is available from the CORE office. CORE is made up of members who have the opportunity to vote every year on group policy (although ideas are welcome at other times too!).
