THE ROCK SOLID? LECTURE BY DR HELEN WALLACE

• THE ROCK SOLID Lecture 10th May, The Box, Kendal Museum 
Helen Wallace is the author of "Rock Solid?" a review of the scientific
evidence regarding the deep disposal of high-level radioactive wastes.

Dr. Wallace discusses the main safety concerns associated with the
deep disposal of nuclear waste and how these safety issues are directly
relevant to the decision Cumbrian councils are about to make.

Wallace, who gave expert evidence at the Nirex Inquiry more than 15 years
ago, also explained the political process that has led to the
Sellafield area being re-considered for deep disposal after it was ruled
out as geologically unsuitable for further investigation and planning
permission was rejected in 1997...

The Lecture is part of the series of events alongside the 'Rock Solid?' Expo at Kendal Museum
