Aldermaston 2008 - The Bomb Stops Here

Actually Burghfield is a decommissioning site.

CND know absolutely nothing about the research we do and how it benefits the UK as a nation. Accidental detonation is impossible, trust me i'm a nuclear scientist. Complete nuclear disarmament is also an impossibility. A deterrent adds to our national security and ensures we maintain our position in the world as a peace broker. That's all it is, a deterrent! We would never use them! - PS - we will be building a new generation.

50 Years ago we achieved nothing.. and 50 years later, WE'LL DO THE SAME.

I must admit thatI an in two minf=ds on this one yes nuclear weapons are evil, yet we are surrounded by evil, only yesterday a nice respectable muslim doctor got imprisoned for wanting to detonate bombs in London, a nuclear device would be a wet dream to these people. I live in reading so would be among the first of many to be atomised if one ever went off by accident.

How the hell can one go off by "accident"? Do you even understand what they do there? It is IMPOSSIBLE for one to be detonated due to the way these are stocked. (Major componants held seperately).

Whereas at the nearby AWE Burghfield site, they do assemble them in to complete functioning bombs, inside structures condemned as unsafe by the nuclear safety inspectors.

What about the information provided by AWE on their website - is that 'crap' also? The 'Our Sites' page includes the following:
"AWE Burghfield...is responsible for the complex final assembly and maintenance of the warheads while in service, as well as their decommissioning."

In case you are in a position to know what AWE do better than they do themselves, do you wish to explain where the final assembly takes place?

It all well and good to make a few people late for work at awe for a few hours. But it really doesn't make a real difference.

It didn't make anyone late, no-one was actually working on that Bank Holiday Monday =)
