Fennovoima NPP construction to be paid with Russian pension fund money ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the middle of January a Russian government's decision became public providing money for the construction costs of the Fennovoima NPP in Pyhäjoki, Finland, with the money of Russia's National Welfare Fund, a state fund to secure in the long run paying pensions to retiring people. The government's decree was issued on December 30th, 2014, the document was published on January 16th, 2015. Referring to this document, there will be up to 2.4 billion EUR, but not more than 150 billion RUB, invested in the newest NPP project in Finland, where the Russian atomic companies Atomenergoprom and Rusatom Overseas are involved with 34 % of the shares. The Russian Rosatom subsidiaries took over EON's shares after the German atomic energy giant had left the Fennovoima project, that they actually had initiated, due to public pressure in Germany. Fennovoima is under time pressure to start the NPP construction before beginning of July 2015, otherwise the political "decision-in-principle" the project is based on would be invalid, and a new parliament's decision would be required.

Surveillance de Fukushima : les autorités de régulation demandent à Tepco de déverser de l'eau contaminée au tritium ---------------------------------------------------------------------- L'autorité de Régulation du nucléaire japonaise a officiellement demandé à Tepco de procéder au déversement dans l'océan d'eau faiblement radioactive venant de la centrale nucléaire de Fukushima Daiichi. Jusqu'à présent, cette eau contaminée au tritium était stockée sur place dans un millier de réservoirs mais Tepco commence à manquer de place. http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage2.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=5cbc9f7760&e=2ece43c12c ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Global nuclear decommissioning cost seen underestimated, may spiral ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 200 of the 434 reactors in operation around the globe will need to be retired by 2040. The estimated cost of decommissioning them is more than $100 billion. But many experts view this figure as way too low, because it does not include the cost of nuclear waste disposal and long-term storage and because decommissioning costs - often a decade or more away - vary hugely per reactor and by country. http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=01191c1a4f&e=2ece43c12c ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. 'Doomsday clock' closest to midnight since 1984 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The symbolic doomsday clock moved to three minutes before midnight on Thursday because of the gathering dangers of climate change and nuclear proliferation, signalling the gravest threat to humanity since the throes of the cold war. Global efforts to reduce nuclear arsenals have slowed since 2009, and all of the nuclear powers are expanding reactors and weapons programmes. http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=ae6045a9f7&e=2ece43c12c ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 5. Canada: Who will stand up against secrecy? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Another secret power deal is the last thing the people of Ontario need. A full Ontario Energy Board review is the only way we can ensure that signing a $60 - $111 billion deal to re-build aging reactors is the best solution to meeting our electricity needs. http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=32ee05d954&e=2ece43c12c ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Nuclear Free California Holds Conference to Shut Down Diablo Canyon ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Activists from across the state and from as far away as Washington, D.C. and Fukushima, Japan attended a conference under the banner of Nuclear Free California the week-end of January 24-25 in the central coastal community of San Luis Obispo. The purpose was to discuss shutting down the local Diablo Canyon nuclear reactor, the last nuke operating in the sunny state. The aging reactor sits in a tsunami zone among a number of earthquake faults, most not known of before its construction. Many are able to deliver a jolt greater than the design can stand, according to Dr. Michael Peck, Nuclear Regulatory Commission’s former head inspector at Diablo Canyon. The NRC transferred Dr. Peck to another facility for his written opinion that the reactor needs to be shut down, and it will be a major challenge to get regulatory agencies, starting with NRC, to actually regulate.
