1.  Slovenian Environmental Agency: No need for EIA for life time
    extension of Krško Nuclear power plant
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On 20 February 2017 the Slovenian Environmental Agency published its
conclusion of the EIA screening procedure for the life time extension
of Nuclear Power Plant Krško in which it concludes no EIA is needed.
The Agency conducted EIA screening procedure based on the information
provided by a group of environmental NGOs showing that in 2012 Nuclear
Safety Administration extended the time of Krško NPP operation from 40
to 60 years.

In the screening procedure the Agency consulted several competent
authorities which all believe 20 more years of Krško NPP operations
will not have any environmental impacts. Based on those opinions the
decision for no EIA was adopted. On 6 March 2017 a group of
environmental NGOs (Focus, PIC, Umanotera, SE-F) appealed against
negative EIA screening decision, listing, among others, breach of
Aarhus and Espoo Convention as reason.

2.  Germany: Easter March in Gronau and Jülich
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Several groups are calling for a supraregional Easter March on Good
Friday, April 14th in Gronau and Jülich. The rally will start in
Gronau at 1 PM at the railway station and lead to the uranium
enrichment facility. From there a shuttle bus will transport
demonstrators back to the railway station. At the research center in
Jülich, outside the uranium centrifugation company ETC, a joint
venture of Urenco and Areva, a vigil will start at 2 PM. ETC with the
centrifuges develops and constructs the knowledge on uranium
enrichment, and thus also provides an option for a military usage.

In context of the recent discussions about the supposed operation
start of a huge uranium waste repository in Gronau while at the same
time a possible closure of the uranium enrichment facility is
discussed by politicians, but also in context of international voices
for a new nuclear rearmament these actions in Gronau and Jülich are
very important.
