Leaving Euratom !!
With the recent headlines little if any coverage has been given to Mrs May's determination to leave Euratom as well as leaving the EU !
I suspect very few realise the consequences of such a decision.

Put simply Euratom controls the entire European stocks of and access to Nuclear fuel!
Once out of Euratom , Euratom is a separate entity to the EU and we have been in Euratom since 1959, we no longer have access to fuel for our newly commissioned ,French / Chinese built, nuclear power plants!

Even if we realy needed to be in Eurotom it is not an EU institution anyway. Geographically or otherwise the EU and Europe are not the same thing. I bet Switzerland is in Euratom. So it's just another na na nana non question from the SGB who want to make difficulties where none exist. Where are we going to get our straight bananas now!? What a load of old pony, let's get on with implementing what the people voted for and stop all this bellyaching.
//Without Euratom we CAN NOT buy, use, sell or process fuel for, or the waste products from, our present and future Nuclear power stations! Nor can we access radioisotopes for medical / cancer treatment and diagnosis ! //
Zacs that^^ was Eddie @ 16:17 Thurs. As you say that has yet to be proved as a fact. Talbot was quoting Eddie.

Zacs; You come over as actually wanting failure.
// i believe it will have serious repercussions on our wealth and standing as a nation.//
Britain's "standing as a nation" goes back for 1,000 years, during which time it has undergone extraordinary unparalleled achievements. Regaining its sovereignty, which has been robbed from it by stealth by the unelected Brussels bureaucrats, is really the issue, not bickering about trade deals and minor negotiations about nuclear power plants.

Meanwhile, spot the difference:
“The point I'm trying to make is that you still have to address the issue. That's not the same as saying that it can't be addressed.” [Jim]
“Without Euratom we CAN NOT buy, use, sell or process fuel for, or the waste products from, our present and future Nuclear power stations! Nor can we access radioisotopes for medical / cancer treatment and diagnosis !” [Eddie]
Note the capital letters. There is nothing ambiguous about Eddie’s contention. There are no “ifs, buts or maybes”. And it’s clearly nonsense because nations that are not members of Euratom source atomic material and there is no reason why the UK cannot do likewise. He makes the common mistake of confusing Europe with the EU (and in this case with Euratom):
“Put simply Euratom controls the entire European stocks of and access to Nuclear fuel!”
No it does not. It controls the stock utilised by its members and that’s a different matter entirely.
