Stakeholder Dialogues
Strange meetingsAt some stage non-Government Organisations have to engage with the industry and its regulators, but LLRC has a clear purpose of researching and publicising the health effects of radioactive pollution and the scientific nonsense that lies at the root of officially recognised radiation protection standards.
Our resources, both human and financial, are limited and spending time in dialogues does nothing to advance our real work. We do not criticise other NGOs for continuing with dialogues, but the problems of the Magnox Decommissioning Dialogue are an example of the way they can be manipulated. The industry may recognise that they have to be seen to consult, but that doesn't mean their arrogant bunker mentality has changed.
Once more unto the breach! - I have escaped
From that profound dull tunnel I had scooped
By endless talk with partisans embroiled,
Entrapped by their agendas and enrolled.Not looking back to mourn my wasted years
I'll jab and parry as the battle veers.
And where the foe his poison fallout leaves
I'll count its cost in mutilated lives,
Find the victims, film their sad brave grins,
Expose the frauds who hide these human pains.Then blood will reach down from the upper ground,
And down deep flues the grieving mothers' groans
Will check the chatter, slowly strike it dumb,
And all will ask: "Is this what we have done?".Richard Bramhall
