As a anti nuclear weapons campaigner Ive been upto stay at Faslane twice,helped raynesway derby campaigns, all weapons should be safely disposed of & a small amount maintained only if it can be shown they would be of use for meteorite defence& phased out.
Iam not sure about thorium,I think we could do without it but put thi up as its important to know if your campaigning in this area
