Good news from South Africa ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Definitely good news came from South Africa where a high court ruled that the inter-governmental agreement with Russian Rosatom is anti-constitutional. That doesn't mean everything is over as the government is free to sign another deal if it likes. But it is still a major blow to Rosatom. Earlier (last year) Vietnam announced it will not build Russian reactors. We see deals are getting canceled even if Russians back their deals with some money.

Challenges the anti-nuclear movement is facing in Sweden ---------------------------------------------------------------------- There are two major challenges the anti-nuclear movement is facing in Sweden right now, other than the numerous aspects of the ongoing struggle: 1) the so-called "main hearing" in the environmental court ("Miljödomstolen" in Swedish) dealing with the Swedish nuclear industry's application to build a spent fuel repository (the KBS-3 application), currently scheduled to take five weeks in September- October 2017, and 2) the Sunday March 4, 2018 non-binding referendum in the municipality of Östhammar on siting of a spent fuel repository at Forsmark, where the Swedish nuclear industry has applied to build their KBS-3 facility.

Czech government has approved a new Raw Material Policy - it opens the way for uranium mining ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Although the parts related to the Brzkov uranium mining proposal were exempt from the new Czech Raw Material Policy after a public hearing in February 2017, the policy still causes concern for locals in Brzkov and other uranium sites regarding uranium mining in the future.

The two faces of German Minister of Environment Barbara Hendricks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The German Minister of Environment Barbara Hendricks (SPD) mentioned during the last two years several times, that the Belgian nuclear power plants Tihange 2 and Doel 3 are dangerous. In media she complained about many small fissures in the nuclear reactor containment, many critical incidents and slack Belgian nuclear controllership. Hendricks also requested the Belgian government to close Tihange 2.
