Esipuhe --------------------------------------------------------------------- Tervetuloa lukemaan NukeNewsin viidettä numeroa! Tämä on laajin painoksemme sen jälkeen, kun aloitimme monikielisen tiedotejärjestelmän kesällä 2011. Kuukausi sitten lähettämämme käännösapukutsun jälkeen muutama uusi kääntäjä on liittynyt NukeNews-tiimiin. Kuitenkin tarvitsemme edelleen kipeästi kääntämisapua venäjäksi, suomeksi ja ranskaksi. Jos sinä tai tuntemasi ihmiset voivat auttaa, ota yhteyttä meihin! Tämä numero antaa yleiskuvan Nuclear Heritage Network -verkoston ympäri maailmaa yhdistämien ydinvoimaa vastustavien aktivistien toiminnasta ja ydinaiheista.

About NukeNews --------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. 2010 Castor-blokkauksen aktivistit syytettyinä – toivotaan solidaarisuutta --------------------------------------------------------------------- Vuoden 2012 Castor-kuljetus (Ranskan Haagista Saksan Gorlebeniin) oli yksi historian kalleimmista ydinjätteen kuljetuksista, ja se veti puoleensa enemmän kuin koskaan luovaa vastarintaa. Yksi onnistuneista aktioista oli lukittautumis-blokki Castorin raiteille Dallessa. Kolme aktivistia lukitsi itsensä raiteisiin ja viivästytti kuljetusta noin kolmella tunnilla. Maaliskuussa heitä vastaan oli nostettu rikossyytteet. Aktivistit joutuvat nyt valmistautumaan korkeisiin lakijuttujen ja asianajajien aiheuttamiin kuluihin. Lahjoituksianne ja solidaarisuuttanne tarvitaan! http://www.greenkids.de/europas-atomerbe/index.php/Castor_2010_-_Dalle_lock-on_blockade --------------------------------------------------------------------- 2. Hakuaika Anti-nuclear Sailing Tripille osallistumiseksi päättyy --------------------------------------------------------------------- Koska purjelaivan kapasiteetti on rajoitettu, pyydämme aktivisteja ja muita ydinvoiman vastaisesta purjehdusretkestä (Tukholmasta Greifswaldiin 26.8. – 9.9.) kiinnostuneita ihmisiä hakemaan osallistumista 24.6. mennessä. 1.6. ilmoitamme, ketkä voivat osallistua purjehdukseen. Haluamme varmistaa, että tasaväkinen määrä ihmisiä eri maista voi osallistua aktioon, ja että sukupuolijakauma on tasapainoinen. Samaan aikaan purjehduksen kanssa teemme pyöräretken maitse.

Suomi: Stop Sokli! Pelasta Joulupukin koti --------------------------------------------------------------------- Vanha ja huono Suomen kaivoslaki on mahdollistanut yritysten hyökkäyksen Suomen kauniiseen ja koskemattomaan luontoon aina siellä, missä kallioperä sattuu sisältämään uraania. Nyt jopa Joulupukkia häiritään Yaran suunnitelmilla perustaa fosfori- ja uraanikaivos läheiseen Sokliin. Lähettäkää kohteliaita kirjeitä koskien huolta liittyen Soklin kaivoksiin sekä yleisesti uraanikaivosteollisuuden hyökkäyksen vaikutuksiin Suomen luontoon ja turismiin. Presidentti Sauli Niinistö: presidentti@tpk.fi Pääministeri Katainen: jyrki.katainen@eduskunta.fi MEP Sirpa Pietikäinen: sirpa.pietikainen@europarl.europa.eu Suomen kartta: http://www.greenkids.de/europas-atomerbe/index.php/Image:Uranium_industry_in_Finland_2012-02_-_Laplands_People_Against_Uranium_Power.jpg Lue koko tarina: http://www.greenkids.de/europas-atomerbe/index.php/A_nature_catastrophy_is_being_prepared_in_Eastern_Lapland --------------------------------------------------------------------- 7. University Controlled by Nuclear Industry --------------------------------------------------------------------- The University of Saskatchewan in Canada is being taken over by Cameco and its nuclear sycophants in the provincial government. The government allocated $30 million to start a nuclear research centre at the university yet they’ve starved other programs. Language programs have been cut and the sociology department is under-funded to the point that some students will not be able to graduate on schedule. Historian D’Arcy Hande explains the situation in an excellent article in Briarpatch Magazine. http://briarpatchmagazine.com/articles/view/follow-the-yellowcake-road --------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. Dumping on Traditional Owners: the ugly face of Australian racism --------------------------------------------------------------------- The nuclear industry has been responsible for some of the crudest racism in Australia's history. This racism dates from the British nuclear bomb tests in the 1950s but it can still be seen today. A toxic trade-off of basic services for a radioactive waste dump has been part of this story from the start. Governments have systematically stripped back resources for remote Aboriginal communities, placing increased pressure on them to accept projects like the radioactive waste dump. The situation is scarcely any better than it was in the 1950s when the British were exploding nuclear bombs on Aboriginal land. Read the whole story: http://www.abc.net.au/unleashed/3919296.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- 9. 1978 atomic accident at Jülich experimental reactor --------------------------------------------------------------------- In 1978 there was a heavy atomic accident in the experimental nuclear reactor in Jülich, West Germany. The most radioactively contaminated former atomic facility in Germany has to be disposed of. The plans for this are absurd. 152 CASTOR containers with the old atomic fuel elements are supposed to be transported to Ahaus, North Germany without actual need. Jülich is place of location in research and development for URENCO, enrichment of uranium and production of nuclear fuel elements worldwide. But resistance is rising! An information event on the topic will take place June 28, 2012 at 7.30 PM at ALTE FEUERWACHE, Melchiorstr. 3, Köln (Cologne), Germany. German website and contact: antiatomplenumkoeln at gmx.de http://antiatomplenum.blogsport.de/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. Australian uranium fuelled the Fukushima disaster --------------------------------------------------------------------- Australian uranium was used in the Fukushima reactors. The mining companies won't acknowledge that fact - instead they hide behind bogus claims of 'commercial confidentiality' and 'security'. But the truth is out. The Australian Safeguards and Non-Proliferation Office acknowledged in October that: "We can confirm that Australian obligated nuclear material was at the Fukushima Daiichi site and in each of the reactors - maybe five out of six, or it could have been all of them". Read the whole story: http://www.thepunch.com.au/articles/australian-uranium-fuelled-the-fukushima-disaster --------------------------------------------------------------------- 11. Walkatjurra Walkabout - Walking for Country --------------------------------------------------------------------- This walkabout is a celebration of Wangkatja country, a testament to the strength of the community who have fought to stop uranium mining at Yeelirrie for over forty years, and a chance to come together to continue share our commitment to a sustainable future without nuclear. It is a chance to reconnect with the land, and to revive the tradition of walking for country. more info at http://walkingforcountry.com --------------------------------------------------------------------- 12. Reclaim Hinkley - Mass Act of Civil disobedience --------------------------------------------------------------------- International Callout: On Monday October 8th we invite you join us in an act of mass civil disobedience as we trespass on the development site of the proposed Hinkley C. Learn more: http://www.greenkids.de/europas-atomerbe/index.php/Reclaim_Hinkley_-_Mass_Act_of_Civil_Disobedience --------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. Dutch Royal Family goes nuclear --------------------------------------------------------------------- On June 7 Willem-Alexander, the to-be King of the Netherlands, and eldest son of current Queen Beatrix, will open a new production facility of the Urenco uranium enrichment plant in Almelo, Netherlands. Dutch anti-nuclear groups will start a letter-writing campaign to urge Willem-Alexander not to do so. On several occasions he has openly declared himself reluctant to the further use of nuclear energy and a great supporter of renewables (sun and wind explicitly). Its therefor a shame that he will now be involved in a clear pro-nuclear propaganda activity. contact: wiseamster at antenna.nl --------------------------------------------------------------------- 14. France: Camp against High Voltage Power Lines 22-24 June --------------------------------------------------------------------- Since December 2011, the pylon construction sites have started and with them the violence of the state and RTE (forced signatures, destruction work employed legally or not, etc.). Given this situation, many individuals have decided that the time has come to do direct action to try and stop this "steamroller". They are calling on each and everyone of you out there to participate with the means that you deem appropriate, to interfere with the progression of the sites. The reasons we are forced into these practices is that popular opposition to this project has, since the project has begun, been met only with contempt and arrogance on the part of the state and RTE. Everyone will understand that there was nothing to expect from these institutions. It is only by organising ourselves with our ways that we can curb the omnipotence of the state. Call out in French: http://valognesstopcastor.noblogs.org/1087 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 15. Nuclear power is not a good business anymore --------------------------------------------------------------------- Recent news show nuclear power is not a good business anymore. After Fukushima accident, more projects have been cancelled around the world, but Finland seems to go on with new nuclear plants. The Fennovoima project may have problems in financing, experts say. The biggest shareholder, E.On (34%) has already stepped aside from all nuclear projects and says it will concentrate on renewables. Small investors might have problems if the construction starts. Plant prices have risen about 100% from the beginning of the project. Making profit with new nuclear means electicity prices must rise.

Special report: Management of spent fuel and radioactive waste --------------------------------------------------------------------- Since the beginning of nuclear power the claim is that there will be a solution for nuclear waste soon. But as the authors of "Management of spent fuel and radioactive waste. State of affair, a worldwide overview" describe, non of the 34 countries with spent fuel (reprocessed or not) from nuclear power reactors have a final disposal facility, be it in deep geological formations or (near) surface. A very large majority of those countries are not even close. Some postpone the need for final disposal by long term interim storage of up to 100 years; and other countries use (the future option of) reprocessing as an alibi for postponing that decision. Read the whole story: http://www.greenkids.de/europas-atomerbe/index.php/Special_report:_Management_of_spent_fuel_and_radioactive_waste --------------------------------------------------------------------- 17. UK: No to Keekle Head nuclear low level landfill dump --------------------------------------------------------------------- Cumbrian Councillor Brenda Grey said it was “wrong to open up new sites and contaminate new ground. All nuclear sites should keep their own waste on site. We should lobby government to have the law changed back so it (Low Level Nuclear Waste) cannot go into landfill” Read more: http://mariannewildart.wordpress.com/2012/05/08/cumbria-county-council-unaminuous-no-to-nuke-landfill-in-keekle-head/ http://www.newsandstar.co.uk/news/nuclear-dump-bid-firm-set-to-appeal-cumbria-council-s-refusal-1.951825?referrerPath=news --------------------------------------------------------------------- 18. Rock Solid? - High level nuclear waste in Cumbria --------------------------------------------------------------------- Turkeys don't vote for Christmas but this is what West Cumbria may be about to do. A trap has been set deliberately in London to make Cumbria, Copeland and Allerdale councils overturn the Nirex Inquiry findings by arguing exactly the opposite of what they said at the inquiry more than fifteen years ago. There will be no turning back: if they want to pull out in the future, they will have to find new evidence to justify another U-turn. A lecture by Dr. Helen Wallace on this topic is part of the series of events alongside the exhibition 'Rock Solid?' Expo at Kendal Museum. Read more: http://www.kendalmuseum.org.uk/news-12-01-23-rock-solid.php http://virtual-lancaster.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/rock-solid-expo-set-to-challenge.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- 19. When the water flows - a graphic novel --------------------------------------------------------------------- This graphic novel tells the story of retired Lakeland farmers, Tom, Ellen and collie dog ‘Blue.’ A government quango called ‘Managing Radioactive Wastes Safely’ sets out with careful orchestration to seduce Tom and Ellen with promises of unlimited money and persuasive reassurances in return for ‘volunteering’ their homeland as a nuclear sacrifice zone. http://wildartbooks.wordpress.com/2012/02/01/when-the-water-flows/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 20. 101 Uses for a Nuclear Power Station - Use No 39 Uplifting the Land with Radioactive Gases --------------------------------------------------------------------- The government quango 'Managing Radioactive Wastes Safely' are promoting Cumbria/The Lake District as the national geological dump for nuclear wastes. Professor Stuart Haszeldine has said: "Emplacement of hot wastes will force rock to expand, with the strong probability that new fractures will be created. The fractures can allow radioactive gas to rapidly leak to the surface. Land users and housing at the land surface will be uplifted." http://101-uses-for-a-nuclear-power-station.blogspot.co.uk/2012/04/use-no-39-uplifting-land-with.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- 21. Rosatom continues dangerous experiments at nuclear power stations --------------------------------------------------------------------- During antinuclear rallies at Chernobyl day in Russia activists demanded to stop the experiments and shut down 11 Chernobyl-tupe reactors. Antinuclear rallies took place in Moscow, Murmansk, Nizhny Novgorod, Chelyabinsk and other places in Russia. Activists demanded to stop the most dangerous "experiments" of the Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom. These are: - operation of 11 extremly dangerous Chernobyl-type reactors RBMK-1000 - lifetime extension of 18 reactors, including 7 Chernobyl-type RBMK-1000 - increasing of thermal capacity of VVER reactors - construction of new experimental type reactors VVER-1200 and SVBR-100 Acitvists demanded to cancel these experiments and to relocate governmental efforts and money to support renewable energy. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 22. Lithuania's agreement with Hitachi criticized --------------------------------------------------------------------- Visaginas nuclear power plant (NPP) project would not be profitable. This is one of the reasons, why Lithuanian Green Party urges the Parliament not to approve the Concession Agreement with Japanese company Hitachi. The reasons were set out in Lithuanian Green Party's statement, prepared in cooperation with Lithuanian Energy Consultants Association and Green Policy Institute.

Stop Kola Nuclear Power Plant! --------------------------------------------------------------------- Nature and Youth (Young Friends of the Earth Norway) and one of our sister organizations in Russia, Priroda i Molodezh, have since February this year had an ongoing petition for the closure of an old and dangerous nuclear power plant in the North-West of Russia. Three out of the four reactors at Kola NPP are operating beyond the 30-year recomended lifetime, which makes it even more risky not to shut it down. If you also want to support our campaign and learn more about Kola NPP, visit to our website (www.stopkolanpp.com) and sign the petition. Please make sure to share the link on facebook and/or twitter as well to make even more people aware of Kola NPP.

Petition against state guaranteed prices for nuclear power --------------------------------------------------------------------- Upper Austrian regional environment minister Rudi Anschober (Greens) started a petition aiming at not letting the EU start financing the nuclear lobby by supporting a state financed minimum price level for the in NPP produced electricity, as was proposed by nuke hardliner states like Great Britain and the Czech Republic. This petition can be signed on-line also from abroad.

Lessons from Fukushima tour in the Czech Republic --------------------------------------------------------------------- Jan Beránek from Greenpeace International undertook an information tour in the Czech Republic, where he gave first-hand insights, in what he had heard and seen in Japan, having visited this country, which has now, after having been target of nuclear bombs at Hiroshima and Nagasaki in 1945 to cope with another nuclear disaster after the meltdown in Fukushima. People have been left dying in hospitals, evacuations were made into regions more affected by radioactive fall outs than were the people´s homes, simply because of special wind conditions, that had not been calculated. There is a complete booklet about the "Lessons from Fukushima" available in English with an abstract planned in Slovak. see also: http://www.greenpeace.org/international/en/publications/Campaign-reports/Nuclear-reports/Lessons-from-Fukushima/ --------------------------------------------------------------------- 26. BBC documentary: Inside the Meltdown --------------------------------------------------------------------- A year after the disaster of Fukushima (March 2011) the BBC film "Inside the meltdown" documents the drama, which will influence Japan still for decades to come, so drastically, that other similar films, made some years ago, might seem unreal. Reality, including the fact, that politicians are helpless facing such a tragedy, has left behind fiction by far. see here the whole film: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IwBELPtVUCA --------------------------------------------------------------------- 27. Temelín 3+4 - EIA-process with more than 22.000 objections from Austria --------------------------------------------------------------------- The Czech Republic is planning to built another 2 reactor blocs at the NPP site of Temelín and possibly another one at the Moravian site of Dukovany. The technical documentation of the project is lacking some important details, including questions of reactor parameters. Still there are thousands of pages to be studied, and questions to be asked. Austrian NGOs collected within a very short period of time more than 22.000 signatures from people claiming their rights as citizens of a neighbour country. Since the whole EIA-process however seems to be on a vague basis, some NGOs might in the end think of boycotting the process fearing, that it will only be a public presentation of the new NPP-Project and hidden PR für the biggest utility of the country ČEZ. --------------------------------------------------------------------- 28. Austria: Federal government wants to get the country nuclear free --------------------------------------------------------------------- After consultations with NGOs (e.g. www.global2000.at/site/en) the Austrian federal government tries to get the country´s power system nuke free by a mixture of incentives and transparency. Austria does not have a nuclear reactor for producing electricity (after a referendum of 5.11.1978 they even have forbidden it in their constitution), but is nevertheless importing around 4 % of its electricity consumption coming from foreign NPPs. It is a government-encouraged voluntary attempt to bring the rest of nuclear power out of the country´s power system, since it would probably not be possibly to simply forbid nuclear power as commodity as such. It remains to be seen, if this approach will work. Austrian economics minister Reinhold Mitterlehner (Concervatives) puts much hope also into the continued change of the German energetic system, away from NPPs towards renewables. more here: http://www.oekonews.at/index.php?mdoc_id=1069876 --------------------------------------------------------------------- 29. Public money needed to make construction of NPP financially feasible? --------------------------------------------------------------------- The controversial Temelín NPP respectively company ČEZ (mainly state owned) are awaiting the first bids for constructing the planned blocs 3+4. There seem to be three interested firms, among them Russian Atomstrojexport/OKB Gidropress, French Areva and American Westinghouse, who all offer possibilities for Czech companies to take part. Technical details of the planned reactors are not yet specified, which underlines other uncertainties of the project. Since the stock price of electricity is - as result of the worldwide financial+economical crises with around 50 € per MWh instead of the necessary at least 60 € too low, ČEZ is trying to find willing co-investors and even suggested, a guaranteed price system for nuclear power, where the state would take over any financial losses - similar to the system used in the introduction phase of the renewable energy sources. ČEZ director David Beneš used as argument also, that in England they reportedly have a similar system, where the state guarantees a minimum price for the produced nuclear power. Funny, if one of the most capitalistic countries in the world wants to kick out market dynamics from the nuke business, isn´t it? see also: http://www.praguepost.com/business/12706-temelin-nuclear-tender-deadline-looms.html --------------------------------------------------------------------- 30. International Committée on Nuclear Justice --------------------------------------------------------------------- International Committée on Nuclear Justice (ICNJ), with scientific secretary Pr Chris Busby, are starting Nuclear Justice process opening up the issue of the EURATOM Basic Safety Standards Directive reassessment focusing on the Radiation Risk model used by the governments all over the world. The currently used ICRP model is the cause to the tragical underestimation of the risks in Japan, Fukushima. The European Commission and the Member State Competent Authorities by law have to re-open the issue of EURATOM Justification if there is new evidence that their original justification was faulty. Since 1996, the European Committée on Radiation Risk (ECRR) has published 2 much more reliable risk models that are now recommended by eminent radiation experts all over the world. It is about time to challenge the Radiation Risk models of ICRP and ECRR to get a pan European scrutiny.

Koodankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP) --------------------------------------------------------------------- The construction of the NPP is completed and commissioning put on hold due to the anti-nuclear protests by the locals and PMANE (People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy is situated in Koodankulam in the southern Indian state of Tamil Nadu). An Inter-Governmental Agreement on the project was signed on November 20, 1988 by Prime Minister Rajiv Gandhi and Soviet President Mikhail Gorbachev, for the construction of two reactors. The project remained in limbo for a decade due to the political and economic upheaval in Russia after the post-1991 Soviet breakup. Since the plant was conceived in the mid-1980s, People's Movement Against Nuclear Energy was opposing the plant for about 25 years. Construction eventually began in 1997. The cost was estimated to be US$ 3 billion in 2001. A small port became operational in Kudankulam in 2004. This port was established to receive barges carrying over sized light water reactor equipment from ships anchored at a distance of 1.5 kilometres (0.93 mi). Until 2004 materials had to be brought in via road from the port of Tuticorin, risking damage during transportation. The protests have been intensified during the last months with mass protests and different activities including Gandhi-inspired fast-campaigns cumulating end of March 2012. After around 10 days of fasting the soul of the protests, Mr. S P Udayakumar stopped fasting, after his friends had begged him and the government had signalled some kind of compromise. Before however there was heavy discrimination against the activists, like charges of waging war against India, the observation of 77 foreign NGOs and the claim, that the local resistance would be financed from abroad. There was even one german citizen (Rainer Hermann Sonntag) expelled from the country as being behind the protests, which are however organized by thousands of locals closely cooperating with Mr. S P Udayakumar whose home had been raided by the police, after having interrupted his fast. The protest are surely not over yet and a globalization of the debate would be important right now! --------------------------------------------------------------------- 34.
