Mission Statement

HANA is particularly concerned by:

The dangers of ionising radiation from nuclear energy installations.
Problems of intermediate and long term storage of high level radioactive waste.
The restriction of development of alternative renewable and micro-generation methods of power generation that results from investment in nuclear power in this country.

HANA recognises that:

There are no over-riding public interests in support of new nuclear construction at Heysham.
Far more jobs and local economic benefit can be harvested from renewable energy and energy efficiency spending.
The future of electricity supply in the UK lies in wind, wave, PV and other renewable technologies.
Optimising these will maximise local economic gain and the real achievement of sustainability objectives.

HANA Aims:

To focus public awareness on the issues involved.
To campaign against the use of technologies that threaten environments and populations, both at the Heysham site and others.
To promote the development of an alternative sustainable energy infrastructure in the UK.
To provide a forum for discussion and connect members with others interested in the subject.
To collect and provide up to date information concerning these issues.
To work with and share information with other organisations interested in the same issues.
