In answer to William Oxenham (Letters, 26 June), in fact it has been proposed that nuclear energy be designated as a renewable energy source. Not only does it not produce greenhouse gases during generation and very little over the full cycle, its fuel is 97 per cent reusable via reprocessing.

As to whether or not the cost of building nuclear stations has risen to a prohibitive level, those who believe that it has should ask themselves why several companies plan to build new stations in the UK without subsidy. Clearly these companies do not believe that this will be an uneconomic development. Sceptics should beware of trusting a US legal pressure group to have a clear view of costs in the UK, or anywhere.
