8. #Euratom regulates the nuclear energy market and the movement of nuclear materials across Europe.

9. Withdrawing from #Euratom raises considerable problems for our nuclear power stations (which produce c.20% of the UK's energy needs)

10. Energy prices & basic power supplies are exposed to considerable risk if the #Euratom deal is not replaced within the next 18 months.

11. That is bad enough. But #Euratom also governs the movement and exchange of #isotopes used in #radiotherapy for cancer treatment.
