Meetings about Nuclear Waste

Just seen on BBC web site that there are meeting today and tomorrow for people to discuss nuclear waste. Committee on Nuclar Waste Management.
Not seen another announcement, so can't go.
Wonder how many people are happy for the new power station, but don't want nuclear waste storage on the island?
I'm not in favour of either....

Siemens announced today that they were suspending the proposal for a tidal generation array off the Skerries.
