1. People Power against Nuclear Power! Anti-nuclear action camp in
Pyhäjoki/Finland
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Fennovoima nuclear power company plans to start building a new nuclear
power plant on the ecologically valuable Hanhikivi Cape in Pyhäjoki,
northwest of Finland. Let's stop this irresponsible and dangerous
project!People power against nuclear power! Anti-nuclear action camp
is organized near Hanhikivi Cape June 8-21 by Hyökyaalto, a grassroots
action network (Rising Tide Finland). During the camp we aim to learn
and share skills and ideas on different forms of direct resistance.
Participants are encouraged to provide programme related to the
topics. Consensus decision making is preferred. Any kind of
discrimination based on gender, sexuality, ethnicity etc. is strictly
forbidden. Party political or nationalist signs do not belong to the
camp.

2. Official Report: Nuclear Waste Accident Caused By Wrong Cat Litter
----------------------------------------------------------------------
A yearlong investigation by the US Dept. of Energy, in a 277 page
report, has concluded that a major accident at a nuclear waste dump in
New Mexico in Feb. 2014 was caused by the wrong brand of cat litter.
This is the same nuclear waste dump that the NWMO has held up as a
model for their own nuke dump proposed for the shore of Lake Huron,
Ontario.

3. Ontario remains comitted to nuclear power
----------------------------------------------------------------------
ON is in the midst of an energy revolution, but remains stubbornly
committed to nuclear. While most of Ontario's nuclear power plants are
entering the end phase of their design life, the Ontario government
continues to sink billions of dollars into extending their life, when
there are much more economically viable and renewable options.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
4. Fennovoima already clear-cuts protected forests for planned NPP
----------------------------------------------------------------------
In the Hanhikivi cape in Pyhäjoki, Finland, Fennovoima is cutting
forests and destroying delicate nature to build a road for the nuclear
plant. Now they have permits from the local municipality to cut down
about 100 hectares of ecologically valuable area by the end of April,
which is one fifth of the whole Hanhikivi cape.
The Finnish decision in principal was given for the plant
conditionally, and there are many important questions open: whether
there will be enough Finnish or European stakeholders in the project
or what will be the plan for the nuclear waste. If the plant is never
built, the area is spoilt for nothing. The Hanhikivi natural habitats
of the land uplift coast and the threatened and protected plant and
bird species are too valuable to waste. The springtime is especially
bad timing because of the migratory birds and nesting time.

5. Flooded proposed uranium mine in Australia points out risks
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Lake Way, the site of the proposed Toro Energy uranium mine has
flooded causing deep concerns about the future of proposed uranium
mining on the lake bed. Toro Energy Ltd plans to store radioactive
tailings from the proposed Wiluna uranium mine - up to 100 million
tonnes - in the mined-out Centipede and Millipede pits, which will
also reside on the lake bed and are currently underwater.
