Technical Briefing notes

The campaign will be providing a set of technical briefing notes accessible from this page. These are being written to explain the often complex issues in straight forward language and are intended for non specialists in the areas covered. The sheets are going to be posted as PDF documents and will not be made available as live web pages. If you have problems accessing sheets please e-mail info@panic-stns.co.uk for copies of the sheets in other formats.
