About NukeNews ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Czech Republic: Why is the Working Group for Dialogue on a Geological Disposal Facility falling apart? ---------------------------------------------------------------------- At the end of June 2016 Calla and the Green Circle (which is the association comprised of 26 prominent environmental NGOs) issued a press release, in which they informed about six representatives of the sites of Březový potok and Hrádek leaving the Working Group (WG) for Dialogue on a Geological Disposal Facility (GDF) during April and May 2016. The mayors and associations in both sites feel that the WG is being misused and that it violate its statute by not contributing to transparent siting process for a GDF. What are the reasons for this happening?

Big Demonstration at Nuclear Plant in Lingen 29/10/2016 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The production of nuclear fuel elements is still taking place at Lingen/Lower Saxonary. Allthough the german government has decided a step by step phase out, the atomic pants of Lingen and Gronau (uranium enrichment) have no point of closing down, the opposite is reality, plans for expanding and storing more and more waste. We want an immediate stop of delivering nuclear plants worldwide with fuels!! A pact of several anti nuclear groups and networks has started a campaign against these nuclear facilities and is pushing the topic into the center of society. Please come and join the big manifestation in Lingen on 29.10.2016!! http://weltweit.nirgendwo.info/2016/07/08/29-10-2016-demonstration-in-lingen-aufruf/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Poison in the Heart. The Nuclear Wasting of South Australia ---------------------------------------------------------------------- While nowhere in the world such a safe final repository exists, a small cadre of aspirational Promethean technocrats in South Australia have somehow decided that Australia holds the solution to the global problem of nuclear waste. The recently released Nuclear Fuel Cycle Royal Commission Report recommends that the South Australian government accepts over one third of the world's high level waste for above-ground storage and eventual burial in yet-to-be-built underground repositories in the South Australian desert. The report proposes that South Australia imports 138,000 tons of high level radioactive waste in the form of spent fuel rods as well as an additional 390,000 cubic metres of intermediate level waste for storage and eventual disposal. The project to bury the world's nuclear poison in the heart of the Australian desert has not sprung out of a void. It is an idea that has been insidiously festering for two decades in a variety of incarnations. The first stirrings of the hellish project to turn Australia into the world's nuclear dumping ground emerged in the late 1990s when Pangea Resources, a U.K. based company promoted the construction of a commercially-operated international waste repository in Western Australia. The project was supported by a $40 million budget, 80% of which came from British Nuclear Fuels Limited (wholly owned by the U.K. government), with the remaining 20% from two nuclear waste management companies.

Report: Trinational Fasting in Büchel from 6th till 9th of August ---------------------------------------------------------------------- People in Paris, London, some in Africa and the usual ones in Japan commemorated the atomic-bombing of Hiroshima and Nagasaki again. Global Communication among each other “just in time” is still a little complicated, therefore let's say "trinational" for now. Also for me it was hard this time, but the group motivates. In addition to that I knew that some people already stopped eating on July 30th. atomwaffenfrei.de (ICAN) and the international Fellowship of reconciliation were those who invited to come to Büchel. Some of the youngsters played a theatre piecec with music, a trumpet player blew "we shall overcome" every hour on the dot in front of the military airbase and of course we had interesting dialogues during our protest.
