I am conscious of time so I will finish up after I have put a final question to Dr. Lehane and Dr. McMahon. It is unfortunate that we are so limited. It is probably unlikely that Hinkley Point will ever get built because it is so uneconomic. If it is built and there is an accident, what sorts of timelines will apply? How much notice would we have to react to an unplanned release from Hinkley Point? As I understand it, the main recommendation is to shelter behind closed doors from immediate weather or atmospheric conditions such as rain or wind. What are the timelines that are likely to apply in these circumstances? Even though we had a week's notice of recent weather events such as Hurricane Ophelia and Storm Emma, we saw how significantly difficult it was to organise ourselves. We would not have any notice of this. What are the timelines for getting shelter?
