************************************************************ * Nuke News 12 - Informace z oblasti antiatomu * ************************************************************ SORRY! Not all parts of this newsletter have been translated into Czech, as we didn't have enough translation support. Please help us to change this! Tell us if you can help with translation of the NukeNews into Czech! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0. Předmluva ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ačkoli vyšlo poslední vydání Nuke News kvůli většímu zpoždění teprve před měsícem, sešlo se nám opět dost zpráv na nové vydání našeho newsletteru (vydání č. 12). Tentokrát je to kratší vydání... Jedna ze zajímavých zpráv Vás informuje o tom, proč se německé anti-atomové hnutí rozhodlo, že nakonec nevyužije svou šanci, vyslat do „komise pro konečné úložiště“ dva ze svých zástupců. V tomto aktuálním vydání najdete také kritiku spolupráce sdružení WWF s ruským jaderným koncernem Rosatom, dále informace o snaze o nalezení konečného úložiště jaderných odpadů v blízkosti St.Petersburgu, nebo oficiální data ohledně úrovně radioaktivního zatížení v oblasti plánování stavby nového jaderného reaktoru v lokalitě slovenské jaderné elektrárny Krško a informace o odporu proti této politice. Pokud pro nás máte informace pro další vydání Nuke News, pošlete nám prosím Vaše příspěvky do jarního vydání Nuke News do 30.března 2014. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Obsah aktuálního vydání NukeNews #12 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.

About NukeNews ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Hnutí za likvidaci jaderných zbraní ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vzpomínáte si na Hirošimu a Nagasaki? Někdo z Vás možná četl letáček "I can" nebo "Jaderné zbraně", možná někdo z Vás dokonce podpořil hladovku a blokádu v Büchelu... A doufám, že hodně z Vás si udělalo čas a vzpomnělo si na to, co se stalo v roce 1945 v Hirošimě a Nagasaki a jakému nebezpečí jsme i dnes stále vystaveni. Chtěla jsem se k této hladovce před Spolkovým kancléřstvím přidat, stejně jako jsem to udělal v minulém roce v Paříži (letos bylo více než 60 hladovkářů). Bohužel jsem na začátek akce přijela dříve a důsledkem toho jsem zůstala zablokována 3 hodiny někde mezi Braniborskou bránou a Spolkovým kancléřství, takže jsem to nakonec vzdala a šla navštívit přítele....

Jaderný projekt Fennovoimy se smršťuje ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Projekt jaderné elektrárny společnosti Fennovoima se potýká s velkými problémy, protože dalších 15 majitelů podílů odstoupilo – někteří zcela, někteří z části. Velké překvapení pro všechny zúčastněné ale bylo, že mezi nimi bylo několik velkých průmyslových koncernů. Nyní je ve finských rukou pouze 50,28% podílů – zbytek je na prodej. Po odstoupení firmy E.On Fennovoima změnila výrobce reaktoru: Rosatom nyní nabízí jeden reaktor o výkonu 1.200 MW, který je ve srovnání s původními plány (reaktor 1.600 MW) o 25% menší. Po odstoupení E.ONu v roce 2012 jsou teď na prodej i další podíly v celkovém objemu 16%, dosud se však nenašli noví kupci.

Hinkley Point: Evropská komise zahájila posouzení britských opatření pro podporu jaderné energetiky ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Evropská komise začala s neodkladným šetřením, které má za pkol zjistit, zda plány Velké Británie na stavbu a provoz nové jaderné elektrárny Hinkley Point v Somersetu odpovídají předpisům Evropské unie ohledné státních finančních podpor. Především má Evropská komise pochybnosti o tom, že by projekt trpěl skutečným selháním trhu. Šetření Evropské komise davá třetím stranám možnost, opatření Velké Británie komentovat. Celá tisková zpráva je k nalezení na: http://europa.eu/rapid/press-release_IP-13-1277_en.htm?locale=en ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Walkatjura Walkabout – pochod za zemi ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Walkatjura Walkabout je pochod za zemi Wangkatja, dokladem síly společenství, bojující již 40 let za zastavení těžby uranu v Yeelirrii. A zároveň tento pochop představuje možnost, jak se setkat a sdílet naše vystupování za trvale udržitelnou a bezjadernou budoucnost. Je také příležitostí, jak se navzájem propojit a tradičním pochodem za svou zemi. Pochod Walkatjurra Walkabout probíhá zcela bez alkoholu a bez drog. Pochod Walkatjurra Walkabout proběhne ve dnech 23.dubna až 26.května 2014, a budeme rádi, když se ho zúčastníte i Vy. "Cílem našeho pochodu za zemi je opětovné propojení lidí se zemí. Walkatjurrs Walkabout je poutí přes zemi Wangkatja a bude probíhat v duchu našich předků, tak abychom jako nynější správci ochraňovali svou zemi, její zvyky, kulturu a tradice pro nové generace. Zveme všechny lidi, z jakéhokoli konce světa, aby přijel a zúčastnil se spolu s námi této tradiční poutě s jasným poselstvím, že chceme zachovat zdravé životní prostředí v našich zemích pro budoucí generace." (Kado Muir, tradiční majitel půdy v Yelierii) Walkatjurra Walkabout v roce 2013 byl velkým úspěchem a posiluje naše společné úsilí o ochranu země a o zastavení těžby uranu. Pomozte nám zachovat tuto formu tlaku, aby další uranové zásoby mohly nadále zůstat pod zemí.

Radioactive Grave One Kilometer From The Baltic Sea And 40 km From St. Petersburg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On Friday, December 27 at 3 PM, in the administration building of Sosnovy Bor, public hearings on the preliminary EIA materials on "Point of disposal of radioactive waste" (PDRW) were held. Burial is proposed in clay at a depth of 50 m, between two water horizons. It is approximately 3 km from the residential area (village Rakopezhi ), 1 km from the Baltic Sea and 5 km from the pine forest. A discussion on this project has been on-going for more than two years. Independent experts, nuclear scientists, representatives of public organizations of Sosnovy Bor, as well as the Legislative Assembly of St. Petersburg and Leningrad region, representing the Communist Party, Just Russia, Yabloko party, has come out with harsh criticism of the project. Read the complete story: http://www.nuclear-heritage.net/index.php/Radioactive_Grave_In_One_Kilometer_From_The_Baltic_Sea_And_40_km_From_St._Petersburg ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Concrete - it depends on what you make of it! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The trial against four people, who blockaded the last castor transport to Gorleben (D) in November 2011 and stopped the transport for 15 hours has been set. Instead of paying a fine of 1,100 EUR each, the court suggested everyone donate 250 EUR to the union "Children of Chernobyl". A hearing did not occur. The four activists fiXed themselves beneath the railways in a construction of chains that connected their arms into a big block of concrete. http://blockcastor.wordpress.com/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. Germany: Two empty seats - environmental movement does not take part at repository commission ---------------------------------------------------------------------- German environmental organizations and anti-nuclear initiatives have decided not to participate in the commission of experts to search for a repository. The process for the search for a repository is non-transparent and seems set to focus on Gorleben, where already 1.8 billion EUR have been invested and infrastructure has been set up: interim storage, spent fuel, pilot conditioning plant and police barracks in the district town are available. There was no broad social debate on the procedure and the criteria for the task of nuclear waste storage before the adoption of the law. The concentration of the repository search to highly radioactive waste restricts the view to only about five percent of the damage caused by the nuclear power plants waste. Furthermore, the financing of the search process through a public fund, fed by the operators of nuclear power plants, is not guaranteed. The site selection law allows expropriations and minimizes currently existing legal sources of verification. Finally, the federal states would be deprived of power, and with the Federal Office for nuclear waste disposal a new super-agency will have far-reaching powers. http://www.neues-deutschland.de/artikel/918909.zwei-stuehle-bleiben-vorerst-leer.html ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Rosatom practises greenwashing - with the help of "environmental" organisations (RNEI) and WWF Russia ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The nuclear Mafia in Russia is getting support from environmental organisations. This is "Russisch-Deutsches Büro für Umweltinformation" (RNEI), branch of "Deutsch-Russischer Austausch". And this is Russian WWF. Both offered some awards for a competition for best environmental article/report among reporters of radio, TV and newspapers, declared by Rosatom, the federal agency for nuclear energy in Russia. http://www.kerstinrudek.de/rosatom-praktiziert-greenwashing ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Big announcements of new reactor in Slovenia, prolonging of life-time of old reactor and safety issues ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2013 ended with a strong statement of the owner of Krško NPP, GEN Energija, that a second block will be constructed in 15 years in Krško. This statement has no legal basis, as the decision to build an additional block in Krško has officially not been made so far. Moreover, Slovenia clearly does not need an additional block, as the energy scenarios prepared for a new energy program in 2011 show that Slovenia can export electricity with no additional nuclear facilities. Apart from that, the planned site for construction in Krško is seismically risky. In 2013 Slovenia received a report on seismic risks of Krško site from French IRSN, which warns that the site has significant seismic risks. In order to discuss the report with IRSN experts and highlight the need for public participation in nuclear debates, Focus organised an international conference (links to the presentations are available at http://focus.si/index.php?node=25&id=1373). Greenpeace Slovenia and Focus also sent several open letters to the Slovenian Nuclear Safety Authority in relation to the damaged fuel rods in the existing reactor in Krško and raised attention of the Slovenian and Croatian media for the issue. While fixing the problems with the reactor, the operator is in a process of obtaining a permit to prolong the life-time of the reactor by 50% (by 2043, instead of 2023). So far, no open public debate has been held on the issue in Slovenia. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. The Preparations for Construction of a Second NPP Reactor in Slovenia in Difficulty ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Though the majority of the Slovenian population have for many years rejected the idea of construction of a second NPP reactor in Krško, a previous national government founded a semi-private electric company in public ownership GEN to promote and organize such a project and to extend the life time of the first reactor for an additional twenty years. Without a decision of the parliament the GEN started research and administrative preparations and authorized the French institute IRSN to conduct seismic studies about the reactor site. But the IRSN's opinion on this matter is not favorable as expected by the GEN. Acknowledging the fact that the feasibility of designing a reactor against fault surface displacement is questionable, and consistent with IAEA and NRC recommendations, IRSN believes that GEN should consider revising its strategy for the Krško II project and further examine the possibility of searching for an alternative site. It is unlikely that a new NPP could be built anywhere else in Slovenia in light of past public opinion pools. Now the GEN has excluded the IRSN from further participation on the research of the site, trying to find another institute that would be willing to confirm that the existing site is appropriate.

Exhibition: The history of harassment of the no nukes movement Part 2 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This is the second exhibition about the history of harassment of the no-nukes movement. There were 1,200 visitors for the first exhibition held in August 2013. The purpose of this exhibition is to study the history of harassment to avoid repeating them again. Lately, there have been cyber-attacks against no-nukes movement websites. This exhibition in Sinjuku public gallery in Tokyo will include a session about how to deal with new technologies. 18.1.2014 13:00-18:00 19.1.2014 10:00-16:00 http://www.cnic.jp/5527 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. Rosatom recognizes high levels of pollution in the Beloyarsk NPP area ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In context of the Environment Impact Assessment (EIA) process for the construction of a 5th reactor at Beloyarsk NPP close to Yekaterinburg, a BN-1200 Fast Breeder reactor, files disclosed Rosatom's knowledge of high radioactive contamination in the area: annual 90,000-100,000 tons of radioactive discharges into water, including cesium-137, enter the biological cycle in the river, fish, soil and water. The report states that the cesium-137 concentration in certain well water is more than ten times higher than the so-called "level of intervention" by the Russian "Radiation Safety Standards" (NRB-99), and the activities of cesium-137, strontium-90 and cobalt-60 in other wells are close to the levels of intervention.

Film project Nuclear Lies - successful crowd funding ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The young film maker Praved Krishnapilla from the South of India, a region which is directly affected by the NPP in Koodankulam, is working on a 60-minutes film to portray the shameful methods and lies of the nuclear lobby in his country and around the world. Within only a few weeks and a lot of committed work by different - mainly Austrian - activists (Praved has been living in Vienna since 1999), it seems clear that the necessary money (more than 20.000 €) for this project has been successfully collected. Very helpful in that process was the internet platform http://www.startnext.de/en/nuclear-lies. Initial support for this project came also from the grand dame of the Austrian Green Movement Feda Meissner-Blau. More about the film: http://vimeo.com/75948886 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 14. Further language versions of the NukeNews newsletter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As in newsletter #11 already mentioned, the Czech-Austrian NGO "Sonne+Freiheit" plans a mini camp probably in the second half of August 2014 in the South of the Czech Republic with the aim of further improving the work with and around the NukeNews newsletter. Anybody interested in joining, please contact by the end of March 2014: "b.riepl at eduhi.at" It is probable that with the help of the Upper Austrian regional government - beginning with 2014 - there will also be versions of the NukeNews in Slovene, Croat and Polish. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 15.

About NukeNews ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The NukeNews are a multilingual newsletter system of the Nuclear Heritage Network and are supposed to reflect the activities, topics and struggles of anti-nuclear activists connected through this international community. The messages are written and translated by activists, additionally to their usual anti-nuclear activities. No one is paid for that work, as we want to provide resources like this information system to the anti-nuclear struggle as independent as possible. The newsletter aims to inform and update as well activists as the interested audience. Your contributions to the next issue of the NukeNews are welcome. Send them via email to "news AT NukeNews.nuclear-heritage.net". It should be brief information in English of not more than one paragraph, including a concise headline and an optional link to a webpage providing more information. Deadline for the 13th issue of the NukeNews will be 30th of March, 2014. Spread the word and learn more about the NukeNews: http://NukeNews.Nuclear-Heritage.NET
