Green MEP Dr Molly Scott Cato has written to 15 local authorities asking what plans they have in place to deal with an emergency nuclear incident at Hinkley Point in Somerset.

Her question comes as it emerges that Chernobyl was one of the victims of a massive cyber-attack that affected businesses and organisations across the Ukraine, Russia and parts of Europe earlier this week.
