About NukeNews ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Mezinárodní spolupráce pro bezjaderný svět ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vyjádřete solidaritu s naší mezinárodní spoluprací na ochranu společnosti, matky Země a lidských práv před zničením nukleární katastrofou. Udělejte to ještě dnes ... Jsme skupina organizátorů a aktivistů, která pracuje jako plánovací výbor na koordinaci mezinárodního tábora proti jaderné energii v Evropě v létě 2018. Členové plánovacího výboru pocházejí z Indie, Japonska, Ruska, Německa, Turecka, Francie a Spojených států. Společně pracujeme na tom, abychom se znovu sešli. Zveme i další zájemce, aby se dozvěděli o aktivitách různých skupin, prodiskutovali strategie a naplánovali budoucí kampaně.

Aktuality z jaderných elektráren v Kalifornii ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Californian Public Utilities Commission - regulační úřad státu Kalifornie oznámí 14. prosince své rozhodnutí o zavření dvou reaktorů v Diablo Canyon. Rozhodnutí o plánu firmy Pacific Gas & Electric Co. koupit velké množství obnovitelné energie navrhuje soudce, který plán po dobu jednoho roku dozoroval, odsunout až na další slyšení. S uzavřením jaderného zařízení ale souhlasí. Aktivisté jsou ale s plánovaným datem uzavření v roce 2024 nespokojeni a vyjadřují obavy z možného zemětřesení. Zařízení by podle nich bylo možné uzavřít dřív, budou-li k dispozici potřebné informace.

Česká republika: vítejte v atomovém státě ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Česká republika se stále víc proměňuje v atomový stát. Zatímco mnohé země přistupují k redukci svých atomových plánů, ČR plánuje stavět nové reaktory - ačkoli nikdo neví, jak a kdo je zaplatí. Zároveň se má prodloužit život starých reaktorů. Jaderná lobby včetně Státního úřadu pro jadernou bezpečnost se také pokouší vyšachovat ze všech jaderných projektů veřejnost. Kromě stavby nových reaktorů jde o prodloužení životnosti těch starých (PLEX - Plant Lifetime Extension) a o stavbu trvalého úložiště jaderných odpadů.

The Minister's decision to support RAWRA has disappointed the members of the Platform Against Repository ---------------------------------------------------------------------- "Just as it is not possible to revive corpses, it is impossible to extend permits that have expired", this was lawyer Doucha’s reaction to the Minister of the Environment Brabec‘s November decision to bring the issue of expired validity of exploration permits for geological exploration for potential repository sites in the Czech Republic back to life. Since March, when the Minister took a firm position against the Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (RAWRA)’s request to extend the validity after the expiry date, there has been a 180-degree turnaround. Members of the Platform Against Repository are disappointed with the new developments.

India, climate change & nuclear power: denials, delusions and deceptions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Narendra Modi, Prime Minister of India, has been inconsistent at best about climate change. Now the country has massive nuclear expansion plans, which he claims is a solution. The apparent desire to appease energy companies and the violent oppression of nuclear opponents are a cause for serious concern.

Nuclear India: Proudly Marching on the Wrong Side of History ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Indian nuclear ambition is huge not just in terms of aimed capacity. The country is developing diverse and full-spectrum nuclear capabilities – from new mines to fuel processing units and uranium enrichment facilities, reprocessing plants, new designs of reactors such as European Pressurised Reactors (EPRs), AP1000, VVER1200 and indigenous PHWR-700s. Although India’s Department of Atomic Energy remains in denial of nuclear waste problem and hence the need for a burial facility, it has been looking for a deep geological repository as well.

Solidarity statement with the anti-nuclear struggle in Chutka ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The resilient and courageous people of Chutka, India, who have been fighting a relentless battle against the nuclear project in their vicinity, which will displace them once again after the Bargi dam on Narmada, and endanger their safety, organised a big rally on December 12th, 2017. This marked the culmination of the 2 month long grassroots campaign that they started on 2nd October. You can see more details about this campaign in the linked article. Please feel free to circulate the statement shared with this article in your circle, and request people to send their endorsement at "editor AT dianuke DOT org". The petition can also be signed online on the linked website.

En route determining the final repository for HAW in Sweden ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Recently the until now biggest environmental case took place in Sweden: during five weeks a jury of the Environmental Court listened to the suggested solution (the KBS-3 method) from the nuclear industry how to deposit highly contaminated nuclear waste totally away from human beings and animals for 100,000 years. An impossible task! All Swedish environmental organizations attended the trial and were listened on in a democratic way. The jury will deliver their opinion to the government on 20th of December 2017. And thereafter they will probably decide after the elections in September 2018. We will keep you informed about the procedure. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. Radioactive Colonialism - Uranium Bust in Northern Saskatchewan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Canadian uranium company Cameco, the largest employer of Aboriginal people, announced as of January, 2018, they will be closing McArthur River Mine and Key Lake Mill. 845 people will be laid-off. Industry and government have fostered economic dependence pushing First Nations and Metis communities into businesses servicing these mines. Post-secondary education focused heavily on mining technologies. This is leaving communities struggling with no other sustainable economy to fall back on. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Updates on nuclear policy in Poland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Polish Ministry of Energy (MoE) should submit the revised Principal Nuclear Program from 2014 (PNEP) to the government. It's preparation has been delayed, and now it is expected at the turn of this and the next year.
