----------------------------------------------------------------------
1.  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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
2.  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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
3.  Public hearing on the National Radioactive Waste Management
    Programme
----------------------------------------------------------------------
The Czech Strategic Environmental Assessment process of the update of
the National Programme on Radioactive Waste and Spent Nuclear Fuel
Management has entered its final stage.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
4.  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.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
5.  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.
