This shocking photo of uranium hexafluoride (UF6) containers was taken recently at the UKs Nuclear Fuel manufacturing plant (Springfields). It is on the fracking company, Cuadrilla’s, proposed HGV route to Roseacre Wood and just off Preston New Road. In terms of danger to the public the Springfields cargoes of Uranium Hexafluoride are a combination of chemotoxic (highly corrosive and explosively expansive ) and radioactive hazards. The road transports of uranium hexaflouride and other nuclear materials here are ALREADY way too dangerous without adding Fracking HGVs into the mix. The Cuadrilla fracking developments at Preston New Road and Roseacre Wood are near to (five and three miles) the UKs Nuclear Fuel Manufacturing plant. Roseacre Wood is actually on the same narrow country road.
