Description of the Sellafield site Description of the Calder Hall site Description of the UKAEA site Description of the LLWR site at Drigg

The WCSSG was originally formed to replace the Sellafield Local Liaison Committee (SLLC). The change reflected the fact that there were four nuclear licensed sites in the area and was intended to emphasise the importance of engagement with the community, encouraging input in discussions and consultations from all stakeholders. The organisation and ownership of sites has since changed and the WCSSG is changing to correspond, with re-organisation of its sub-committees, but the aim remains the same.

Energy Choices 2007

WCSSG Chairman David Moore was invited by the Nuclear Industry Association to present at the Energy Choices 2007 conference in London on 6th December. The key end of year conference for the UK nuclear industry was dedicated to analysis and debate surrounding public opinion of the industry and is looking at how the nuclear industry communicates with its local communities, the media and other key stakeholders. Davids presentation focused on how communications with the nuclear industry particularly Sellafield, has evolved over the years from being on a need-to-know basis in the 50s and 60s into the more open and transparent communications of today. Davids presentation was well received and provoked a lot of discussion outside of the meeting.
