Uit de publicatie:

My name is Hugh Wynn Richards. I represent the Welsh Anti Nuclear Alliance in 
the capacity of a technical adviser. That does not mean that I am a scientist. I hold 
a first class honours degree in Architecture, from the University of Wales, and a 
Masters degree in Town and Regional Planning from the University of Sheffield. 
Far the last twelve years I have worked for local planning authorities in Liverpool, 
London and Wales, Where I have been engaged in the preparation of a Structure 
Plan for the County of Powys.

Section 1
Electricity Price, and Security of Supply

1.1 Before I begin to give this proof of evidence it is necessary to make it clear that
those involved in preparing this case, and the organisation that I represent, have 
been stretched to the limit, in terms of financial, physical and emotional resources. 
Nevertheless we have tried to do justice to the material presented here. It is in the 
very nature of this proposal that no definitive evidence can be offered on many 
aspects. This is indeed part of the point that we are making, the degree of uncertainty 
surrounding the proposal is sufficient to deter the investment. If we had the time and 
the resources of the CEGB I could claim 100% accuracy for the verifiable elements of 
this evidence. As it is I cannot claim better than 99.9% accuracy, but as one of the 
main purposes of the statistical sections has been to draw graphs Which enable the 
data to be interpreted, any error should be within a millimetre of the line that has 
been drawn, and not affect that interpretation. This first section deals with two 
aspects of the case for Sizewell 'B' which present similar problems for the 
Government.

Electricity Price.
1. 2 Every cabinet minister faces dilemmas. For the Secretary of State for Energy
possibly the worst dilemma is that great political and Departmental commitment 
to nuclear power in general, and the pressurised water reactor in particular, exist 
alongside great uncertainty about most aspects of the subject.
