About NukeNews ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Czech liability for nuclear damage in billions instead of trillions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- CEZ operator insures its nuclear power plant assets against damage of up to tens of billions crowns, while the Czech administration avoids fully insuring residents and entrepreneurs around Dukovany and Temelin Nuclear Power Plants against a nuclear accident. Is it just an effort to save money what’s hiding behind the behavior of Czech institutions?

CZ: Bukov Laboratory - research on geological conditions in an unsuitable location ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Radioactive Waste Repository Authority (RAWRA) does not want to make a technical-economic study on the implementation of the research program in the Bukov underground research facility available to the public. Thus, the public can not verify whether the Bukov site, located in the former uranium mines, Dolní Rožínka, the Vysočina Region, is really suitable for research activities for the deep repository. In August 2017, Calla warned about this dodgy behaviour in its press release.

Slovenia: Construction of dry depository for spent nuclear fuel at Krško NPP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Association of Environmental Movements Slovenia and Posavian Nuclear Local Partnership Krško are convinced that Krško NPP when planning the construction of a dry depository of spent nuclear fuel did not have all necessary permissions. In a letter sent to the Ministry for Environment, Space and Infrastructure Karel Lipič from the Association and Aleš Zajc from the Local Partnership wrote that this is not just a safety upgrade, like the NPP claims, but a whole new nuclear facility, which requires a national spatial plan and comprehensive approach according to the Environmental Protection Act. Krško NPP has planned to construct this only according to the Building Construction Act. "By our opinion the Ministry, the Nuclear Safety Administration and Krško NPP must start all procedures about social acceptability and allow residents participation in accordance with international conventions. The transition to dry storage will be carried out by the American company Holtec with a contractual value of 68.3 millions euros and shall be done until 2028.

Canada: Further Delay of Decision on OPG's Nuclear Waste Burial Plan ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The federal Minister of the Environment and Climate has released a letter to OPG with a third request for additional information. With this request, the timeline for the reviews completion and the Minister's decision has been suspended.
