Darlington nuclear moves up to next step

I have no idea what this means. It looks like they are going to find another 'magic panel' to review the environmental assessment. They have so many of these panels up in the air, that maybe I'll be on one! (NOT!). I haven't heard of any one of them finalizing.

The problem with these things is that they leave all the important stuff off the agenda. The trick of making a truly useless panel is to restrict the scope. For example, an environmental assessment is restricted to determining the effect of the plant on the environment, not the other way around. When you do want to raise the seismic issue later, they say it was covered already.
