About NukeNews ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Join the campaign Bure365! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The campaign Bure365 was launched in June 2014 in order to oppose "Cigéo", this highly radioactive waste deposit project supposed to be built in the small village of Bure (East of France). Antinuclear groups from France and all over Europe are invited to join this campaign over and to organize as many actions as possible. All kinds of solidarity actions are welcome: civil disobedience, actions in public, direct actions, legal actions...

Ukraine: Updates on Khmelnitsky NPP new reactor construction plans ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Good news: Officials say that the Ukraine is no longer going to cooperate with Russia in construction of new units at Khmelnitskiy NPP. Bad news: They are still considering options for construction of new reactors, but with involvement of another partner. Moreover, in early September a Ukrainian PM said the government should decide about the possible site and partner till the end of the year. There are also talks about partial (up to 40%) privatization of Energoatom, which is completely new, because previously they were talking mostly about corporation (first step to privatization). They think privatization will help to involve private investments in projects. Another way of fund involvement, they say, is an agreement of electricity export to EU. Among possible technical partners so far they mentioned Czech companies. But here are still big uncertainty and a lack of information. Anyway, they say that the existing infrastructure at Khmelnitskiy NPP site is not possible to be used. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Photo Exhibition "Faces of Uranium" in Polná ---------------------------------------------------------------------- From 24 September to 31 October 2014 there is going to be installed a photo exhibition "Faces of Uranium" of photographs by Václav Vašků in the passageway of a bookstore "Kuba and Pařízek" in Husovo náměstí 44, Polná. The photo exhibition runs concurrently with the processing of a feasibility study for opening Brzkov and Horní Věžnice uranium deposits (the government commissioned the state enterprise DIAMO to finish this study by 30 September 2014). The opening of the photo exhibition will take place on Wednesday 24 September at 3pm and Václav Vašků is going to be present, too.

About NukeNews ---------------------------------------------------------------------- NukeNews is a multilingual newsletter of the Nuclear Heritage Network to reflect the activities, topics and struggles of anti-nuclear activists. The articles are written and translated by activists, additionally to their usual anti-nuclear activities. No- one is paid for that work, as we want to provide resources like this information system to the anti-nuclear struggle as independent as possible. Your contributions to the next issue of the NukeNews are welcome. Send them via email to "news AT NukeNews.nuclear-heritage.net". It should be brief information in English of not more than one paragraph, including a concise headline and an optional link to a webpage providing more information. Deadline for the 15th issue of the NukeNews will be 14th of September, 2014. Spread the word and learn more about the NukeNews: http://NukeNews.Nuclear-Heritage.NET
