Anyone, individuals and groups, can pledge any amount to a Crowdfunding  project which will remain open until the reserve level is reached or the time limit expires.  A listing of all of those supporting the project and a breakdown of the amounts pledged is available throughout with each project  scrutinised by an independent auditor. Use this example to explore how the L&A Crowdfunding works out by mouse clicking the sections.

 

MoD currently has 17 nuclear  submarine hulks stored afloat waiting final dismantling - this number will rise to 30 boats for disposal if no new submarines are commissioned in future years.  The supporting documentation for the present public consultation contains much technical gobbledygook and essential radiological and other details have been omitted - Large & Associates will unravel this and compile the technical aspects of your response to the MoD's proposals.

 

In the aftermath of the Fukushima Daiichi catastrophe, the European Commission and European nuclear safety regulators (ENSREG) set out a series of Stress Tests for all Pan-European operating nuclear plants. Countries are now reporting back to the European Commission with their evaluation of if and how their nuclear power plants satisfy the Stress Tests - Large & Associates will provide an independent  assessment of the stress tests.

 

Britain's nuclear safety regulator (ONR) is currently drawing to a close its nuclear safety assessment of the  Generation III nuclear power plants planned for  new nuclear build in the UK.  The GDA assessment process is now issuing the so-called Step 4 assessments which are jargon-laden, quasi-technical reports supposedly suited for public consumption - L&A will evaluate the Step 4 reports and  assess the unresolved nuclear safety issues so far identified by the ONR.

The Science and Technology Committee has agreed to conduct an inquiry exploring risk and hazard assessment, communication, perception and tolerability in relation to energy infrastructure, focusing on nuclear power.  This interest and concern was provoked by the Fukushima Daiichi nuclear complex accident and the clear need to review emergency planning for nuclear accidents, a subject that the S&T Committee had reported on shortly before Fukushima Daiichi the findings of which it may wish to revise. This project seeks funding for John Large to prepare and present written evidence to the S&T Committee.

 

This project relates to site clearance and preparation for the redevelopment of the brownfield site in a market town in North Devon for residential use.  Works undertaken included removal of asbestos containing materials (ACMs), general demolition and site levelling, and the removal of existing spoil heaps. However, a group of individuals, comprising nearby residents, have and are continuing to experience health detriment which they claim has arisen during and as a direct result of the demolition and decontamination works for which they claim insufficient environmental and health controls were applied by the Local Authority.
