The first casualty when war comes is truth.

The region is home to the only tactical nuclear weapons base in the country (RAF Lakenheath) which is believed to house about 110 B61 nuclear bombs.
Also in the region there are three nuclear power stations - two at Sizewell and one at Bradwell and it is expected that Sizewell would be a prime site for any 'new build' of nuclear power.
Trains carrying nuclear waste frequently travel from these stations across the region.
Stanford Battle area near Thetford has been suggested as a nuclear waste dump.
Nuclear weapons convoys have also been seen in the region. It is believed that they are doing training runs from Burfield.
