An interesting interview about a place close to my heart. As a young child, my father used to take my siblings and I swimming in front of Bradwell A, as he felt the water was a little warmer there! My mother was somewhat concerned for our welfare, dad just shrugged it off. I’m happy to report that some 50 plus years later, we kids don’t seem to have suffered from the experience, though this has not stopped me from being heavily involved in campaigning against a Bradwell B.

St Peter’s chapel remains an iconic building within the liminal landscape and one worth preserving from the devastation of any future nuclear infrastructure. As an artist, the local landscape provides much inspiration, though the view of now clad reactors from where I’m currently sitting at my desk, not so much!

Thanks so much Linda - I'd love to see some of your artwork of the coast around Bradwell. Hopefully St Peters will be safely standing overlooking the sea there for centuries to come eh...

I always wondered if you'd notice the water around nuclear plants feeling warmer if you were swimming there - now you've finally confirmed that for me!
