With the increasing price of uranium grows also the interest of the reserves of the uranium in the unworked areas in this region. One of these is the deposit Osecna - Kotel, near by the village call same. The poeple in this region are realy active against the new mines and they did already many action in this issue... http://podjestedi.rajce.idnes.cz/ Actualy now are the interest for the mine, not just from our state enterprise DIAMO, but also from the Australian company Uran Limited.
On the 20. September, we are preparing event in the village Kotel (under the 1000 age linden-tree!). The local theatre ensemble will make a show with the message that the water sourses in this region are more important for the public that the uranium. Dr. Gavin Mudd from Australia will take part with his speach: http://civil.eng.monash.edu.au/about/staff/muddpersonal/

Made a sign:
"Sorry for distruction
-We`re building a new world"
And started building!
In our new world there is no nuclear power or gm-crops. We have wind power and we eat organic. This is what we told the polis too when they stopped by :) They told us to keep builting!
Many people stoped to help and my son and his friend made a cute GMO-free pig painting.
When the New World was ready enough for this time we burned the Old World!

Hungary
It's really great to have this initiative, Uranium-Action-Day can help the otherwise isolated anti-nuclear groups all-around Europe.
We in Bátaszék(Hungary) recently are seriously endangered by a uranium mining company (WildHorse Energy ) that intend to open an ISL-mine close to our town. Unfortunatelly they found the way to the local authorities, who only see the financial side of it. Our town is hit not only directly by the nuclear industry itself but also by it's nuclear propaganda. Therefore our group tries to balance that propaganda and at the end make the local authorities hold local referendum.
In Hungary we organized several programs for the Uranium-Action-Day.
In Bátaszék there will be a little „protest festival" (A mi napunk=Our day), with many programs. It's pourpose is to draw people's attention to the hazards of having a uranium mine around us.
The brief list of the programs:
- Greenpeace roadshow about „renewable energy resources.
- An exhibition about the effects on environment of the Straz (Czeh Republik) uranium mine. (ENERGIA KLUB)
- „Information tent" , that is a service of a local association (Élhető Bátaszékért Egyesület). Their pourpose is to help the people know more of the potential dangers of uranium mining.
- A conference about the uranium mining and its impact on environment, health and tourism. The participants are the mayors of the towns and villages, that are close to the site of the mine, local civil organizations, Greenpeace, Energia Klub, and a lot of experts from different fields of related sciences.
- Others, e.g. rock bands, karaoke, competitions, many more
In town Pécs in the Jókai Square there will be a protest against nuclear industry. Several activist will call the media and the by-passing people's attention on the problems of nuclear industry and other local environmental issues.

Sweden
News from Per Hegelund, Kontakt him, if you are planing an action in Sweden: valiantdk ÄT yahoo.com[1]
As it happens, I'm coordinating the Swedish Antinuclear Mo9vements participation and activities in the upcoming European Social Forum 16-21 of September - so we really should do something during this international Forum in Southern Sweden, in the city of Malmö. It really is a great event with 300 different cultural activities and 250 different seminars and workshop - maybe some of you in Germany should come up for this? Malmö is quite close to Germany (and I live in Copenhagen, right across the bridge). As you can understand - I'm personally mostly concerned with anti-nuclear issues, but actually these are only a small part of the full scope of activities during ESF. I made a list of anti-nuclear events during the forum last night - and today I received a similar list from Swedish Friends of the Earth (from Tord Björk, maybe you know him?). I'll attach both, maybe they can be of some use for you... Let me know if I can help in any way.
