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. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- XX.
