for nine open pits, 15 million litres of water a day, clearing 3,709

owned by Twiggy Forrest. This is the last of the applications for

uranium mine proposals in WA... for now - but hopefully forever! This

rush of uranium assessments is very much because of the state election

uranium mining - under a new Government we could send the end to

uranium mining in WA - so these companies are trying to secure some

approval in the hope they will be allowed to mine under a different

1.  Finland: Traffic at and to the Fennovoima-Rosatom's nuke plant
    construction site blocked - again
----------------------------------------------------------------------
January 22nd, 2016 anti-Fennovoima-Rosatom protester's blocked the
traffic after nine o'clock this morning by first standing in front of
the vehicles and after climbing on them.

The beauty of the current situation is the vulnerability of the
construction site itself. What's been done there now is a big-scale
landfill operation - and ther's only one road sturdy enough to carry
those big-ass vehicles in and out of the site. So imagine what happens
when someone by some mens brings that road to a halt? Well. The whole
shit stops from rolling. And that's what we did on 22th of January.
Some concerned citizens climbed on to trucks doing the deliveries,
putting it all to a total halt. And we think we’re gonna keep on doing
this for a bit longer.

attention to the Mulga Rock uranium mine proposal... this proposal is

project is headed up by Vimy Resources - a company made up of former
FMG execs, execs from the Minderoo Group, former Liberal MPs and 27%
