Such an approach would increase national resilience, protect critical infrastructure, safeguard civilian populations, strengthen long‑term energy stability, and align with best‑practice strategic risk planning.\r\n\r\nThis proposal is not based on alarmism but on prudent, responsible planning. Wales has an opportunity to lead the UK in adopting a forward‑looking, civilian‑centred approach to nuclear‑energy resilience — one that protects communities, strengthens national security, and ensures that our energy infrastructure remains robust in any future scenario.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis would at least increase security for all present and future generations of Wales and the U.K.","state":"rejected","signature_count":5,"threshold_for_referral":250,"threshold_for_debate":10000,"created_at":"2026-06-25T13:16:42.369Z","updated_at":"2026-06-26T17:19:37.435Z","rejected_at":"2026-06-26T17:19:37.439Z","opened_at":null,"closed_at":null,"completed_at":null,"moderation_threshold_reached_at":"2026-06-25T13:35:50.000Z","referral_threshold_reached_at":null,"referred_at":null,"debate_threshold_reached_at":null,"scheduled_debate_date":null,"debate_outcome_at":null,"archived_at":null,"submitted_on_paper":false,"submitted_on":null,"creator_name":null,"rejection":{"code":"irrelevant","details":"Mae Deddf Llywodraeth Cymru 2006 yn cadarnhau graddau pŵer y Senedd i wneud cyfreithiau newydd a diwygio cyfraith bresennol (a elwir hefyd yn gymhwysedd deddfwriaethol).
