I'm from Wakefield in West. Yorks. In 1985 there was an issue with the early warning sirens near our school - it was harrowing and took a few hours to fix. Was the first I'd heard of "newkiller bombs" and as a 9 year old couldn't comprehend.

Then the year later at a new school there was the Chernobyl disaster.

I can understand why there was such a reduced want in nuclear energy, 40 years later though I wonder how things would be if we'd gotten rid of coal and gas sooner?!
