Pro nuclear
UCATT's convener at Sellafield, Howard Rooms, is also the national secretary of nUKlear21. In a supplement to The Spectator magazine, published 'in association' with BNFL and British Nuclear Group, he wrote: 'We believe that nuclear power - a non-carbon-emitting means of generating electricity - has an important role to play as a provider of baseload power well into the 21st century'. [2]
In January 2005, Rooms lobbied the recently-formed European Parliament Forum for the Future of Nuclear Energy. [3]
