STAND is a non-political, non-violent campaigning group opposed to the building of new nuclear power stations on the Severn Estuary and elsewhere.

STAND was born out of an organisation called SCAR (Severnside Campaign Against Radiation) which was formed in 1984 after a report on raised incidents of childhood leukaemias around Sellafield Nuclear reprocessing plant was highlighted in a television programme.
