Hinkley?- What's the Point ---------------------------------------------------------------------- After France made it's final decision to go ahead with Hinkley Point C reactor the new unelected UK Prime Minister Theresa May called the project in for review over security concerns about Chinese involvement. However after initially stating that a decision would be made in October, May capitulated to Nuclear & Construction industry interests & gave the go-ahead. Sunday 18th September saw a demonstration of anti-nuclear groups in Bristol against the decision. representatives from SouthWest Against Nuclear & Stop Hinkley spoke out against the deal & urged citizens to take action against the deal which represents a very bad deal for UK electricity consumers, All of the mainstream media and economic analysts are now against the project & wondering why the government are hell-bent on going ahead - we know the answer to this - weapons, nuclear is still & always has been a military project. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. California to close its last nuclear facility ---------------------------------------------------------------------- As is probably known the state's largest electric company decided to shut down Diablo Canyon this past summer. The closure proposal went before state regulators starting in September. A number of groups have filed demands before the regulator to close Diablo earlier than the proposed date of 2024. In a surprise move, the judge has agreed to listen to our arguments. The decision won't be known until May of 2017. Another group has filed a separate lawsuit demanding that Diablo be closed in 2018. As part of the Diablo closure aging activists that go back to anti-nuke campaigns from the late 1950's onward came together in late October for a brief reunion to remember and celebrate. Many nukes were never opened thanks to dedicated individuals and groups that got their start here. Southern California activists are demanding that the spent fuel rods from San Onofre nuke (near Los Angeles that was closed in 2013) be moved as soon as possible over concerns that the dry cask units are not seismically safe. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. BY: New incident with reactor vessel confirms old problems ---------------------------------------------------------------------- It seems important to stress out that nuclear experts were in no hurry (or maybe they had no intention) to inform about the incident. This time, the emergency situation was reported by the readers of the charter97.org website. It was a bit later when the official website of the Belarusian NPP construction informed that "in a reduced clearance, the protecting metallic transportation cover of the oversize cargo (the reactor vessel for the Belarusian NPP) insignificantly touched the catenary mast." It remains unclear what they meant by "touched the catenary mast", whether the mast is in order, and whether the reactor vessel is in order. Do you remember how this summer (2016) the nuclear experts of Belarus and Russia assured us of the non-significance of the damage at first? And then it turned out the reactor vessel needed replacement...

CZ: Plaforma proti hlubinnému úložišti ---------------------------------------------------------------------- V České republice je v současné době 9 potenciálních lokalit pro umístění hlubinného úložiště od května 2016, ve většině z nich místní obyvatelé nesouhlasí s úložištěm, a 4. října 2016 byla založena "Platforma proti hlubinnému úložišti", která sdružuje 28 obcí a nevládních organizací v prosinci 2016.

CZ: Ministerstvo životního prostředí dalo státnímu podniku DIAMO roční lhůtu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Pod tlakem ze strany místních obyvatel v Brzkově dalo Ministerstvo životního prostředí státnímu podniku DIAMO lhůtu jednoho roku (do 30. června 2017) na získání chybějících dokumentů potřebných k možnému požádání o rozšíření chráněného ložiskového území (CHLÚ) na ložisku Brzkov-Horní Věžnice. CHLÚ znamená krok blíže k těžbě a je překážkou pro rozvoj obcí. Podle původního harmonogramu mělo být rozšíření CHLÚ dokončeno v srpnu 2015, ale nestalo se tak. Součástí chybějících dokumentů je i přepočet zásob uranu na základě nového geologického průzkumu. V prosinci 2016 DIAMO prohlásilo, že žádný nový geologický průzkum za účelem přepočtu zásob uranu na ložisku Brzkov-Horní Věžnice dělat nechce. Místo toho tvrdí, že stačí přepočet zásob bez průzkumu, na základě něhož lze rozšířit dosavadní chráněné ložiskové území asi šestkrát. Místní obce, spolek a vlastníci pozemků zastoupené právníkem jsou jiného názoru a budou se bránit. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XX.
