People Power against Nuclear Power! Anti-nuclear action camp in Pyhäjoki/Finland ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Fennovoima nuclear power company plans to start building a new nuclear power plant on the ecologically valuable Hanhikivi Cape in Pyhäjoki, northwest of Finland. Let's stop this irresponsible and dangerous project!People power against nuclear power! Anti-nuclear action camp is organized near Hanhikivi Cape June 8-21 by Hyökyaalto, a grassroots action network (Rising Tide Finland). During the camp we aim to learn and share skills and ideas on different forms of direct resistance. Participants are encouraged to provide programme related to the topics. Consensus decision making is preferred. Any kind of discrimination based on gender, sexuality, ethnicity etc. is strictly forbidden. Party political or nationalist signs do not belong to the camp.

Official Report: Nuclear Waste Accident Caused By Wrong Cat Litter ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A yearlong investigation by the US Dept. of Energy, in a 277 page report, has concluded that a major accident at a nuclear waste dump in New Mexico in Feb. 2014 was caused by the wrong brand of cat litter. This is the same nuclear waste dump that the NWMO has held up as a model for their own nuke dump proposed for the shore of Lake Huron, Ontario. http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=998fedf8a7&e=2ece43c12c ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Ontario remains comitted to nuclear power ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ON is in the midst of an energy revolution, but remains stubbornly committed to nuclear. While most of Ontario's nuclear power plants are entering the end phase of their design life, the Ontario government continues to sink billions of dollars into extending their life, when there are much more economically viable and renewable options. http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=8b90a4eda8&e=2ece43c12c ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Fennovoima already clear-cuts protected forests for planned NPP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- In the Hanhikivi cape in Pyhäjoki, Finland, Fennovoima is cutting forests and destroying delicate nature to build a road for the nuclear plant. Now they have permits from the local municipality to cut down about 100 hectares of ecologically valuable area by the end of April, which is one fifth of the whole Hanhikivi cape. The Finnish decision in principal was given for the plant conditionally, and there are many important questions open: whether there will be enough Finnish or European stakeholders in the project or what will be the plan for the nuclear waste. If the plant is never built, the area is spoilt for nothing. The Hanhikivi natural habitats of the land uplift coast and the threatened and protected plant and bird species are too valuable to waste. The springtime is especially bad timing because of the migratory birds and nesting time.

Flooded proposed uranium mine in Australia points out risks ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lake Way, the site of the proposed Toro Energy uranium mine has flooded causing deep concerns about the future of proposed uranium mining on the lake bed. Toro Energy Ltd plans to store radioactive tailings from the proposed Wiluna uranium mine - up to 100 million tonnes - in the mined-out Centipede and Millipede pits, which will also reside on the lake bed and are currently underwater. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Poland: Heads of local governments urge to make decision on siting of the planned NPP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Three heads of the gminas (local governments) urged, in a letter to the new Prime Minister, Ewa Kopacz, to take a final decision on constructing (or not) the NPP in one of their location. They claim the lack of a firm decision and constant delays lead to tangible losses in their budgets (PLN 6 m for each gmina so far, with the total budget of PLN 40 m of a single one) as well as to hindering their development. They point at the need to have it decided against the EU projects to be applied for. They also claim the local populations are welcoming and are ready for the possibile construction of the NPP.

Polish-French intergovernmental consultations on climate and energy ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Polish-French meeting (labelled as intergovernmental consultations) was held on 2nd February, 2015, concerning climate and energy issues such as: the concept of the energy union and the climate and energy policy framework. Nuclear energy development was discussed as well but no further details were reported in the media. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 8. 77 percent of Poles support renewables ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A new poll by The Public Opinion Research Center (CBOS) revealed in the beginning of February, 2015 that 77 percent of Poles think that Poland should increase the use of renewable energy sources. Renewables are supported mainly by females, young Poles, as well as wealthier individuals.

Chernobyl Day in Vienna ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On 24th April 2015 the Viennese Platform Nuclear-Free commemorated the catastrophe of Chernobyl, which occurred 29 years ago. Activists - dressed in wasp-like yellow - gathered in front of the Austrian Federal Chancellor's office and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to warn about the radioactivity that might threaten Austria due to the construction of new nuclear reactors and their radioactive waste. Once more the activists urged the Austrian government to prevent the construction of new nuclear plants in our neighbouring countries Hungary and Czech Republic. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 10. EURATOM – Nuclear Power's Paper Fortress ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Unchanged since 1957 – even despite Chernobyl and Fukushima! – those letters on paper that make up the EURATOM Treaty are much more powerful and influential than many are aware of, even within the antinuclear movement. Through tremendous privileges for nuclear industry and research laid down in the Treaty itself and in secondary EU legislation (binding regulations, guidelines, recommendations), EURATOM is the fertile ground on which grow new nuclear installations and, subsequently, ever more uranium mining, radioactive waste and weapons material proliferation. Ultimately, this means increased risks on the one hand, and more work, never-ending work for citizens. Lately (2014), the British government and the European Commission (EC) have referred to the EURATOM Treaty (ET) in order to justify the approval of big subsidies for the planned nuclear power station HINKLEY POINT C. Probably because they know full well that the 1957 nuclear-euphoric preamble and introductory articles of the ET provide the only chance for the European Court of Justice (ECJ) to reject the forthcoming Austrian complaint against these subsidies, while EU competition rules would entail legal victory for Austria.

Poland's nuclear plans continue dragging in the mud ---------------------------------------------------------------------- According to the original time plans, the construction of Poland's first nuclear power plant should already have started in 2013. It is now clear that the final go-ahead will not be given before 2017, if ever. Just before his departure to the EU, former Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk forced three other state owned companies, ENEA, Tauron and the copper miner KGHM to take 10% of PGE EJ1. Financing is now foreseen to be organised with a corporate set-up like TVO and Fennovoima in Finland (the Mankala model, whereby no VAT needs to be paid by the first consumers because the owners get electricity to the rate of shares they have in the project "for their own use" and then are responsible for selling it) combined with financial support like the United Kingdom has installed for Hinkley Point C - a deal that these weeks will be put for the European Court by Austria and Luxembourg because of alleged illegal state aid and market distortion.

Co se v Česku děje aktuálně ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Vláda schválila Aktualizaci Státní energetické koncepce (ASEK) ČR 18. května 2015. Calla k ní spolu s dalšími spolky Hnutí Duha a Greenpeace ČR vydaly společnou tiskovou zprávu. Jedním z problematických bodů, který koncepce prosazuje, je vysoký podíl jaderné energetiky a uhlí. Pohledem do studie Chytrá Energie (2009) zjistíte, že koncepce se silně podobá prvnímu a nejhoršímu scénáři s názvem „Vše při starém“, kdy Česká republika nedělá v podstatě nic pro proměnu české energetiky směrem k obnovitelným zdrojům energie (ty mají mít na výrobě elektřiny podíl max. do 25 % a není zřejmé, zda se stát chystá pomoci domácnostem v dosažení energetické soběstačnosti). Naopak, Ministerstvo průmyslu a obchodu (MPO) chce znovu prosadit své plány na nové reaktory. A k tomu má sloužit Národní akční plán pro rozvoj jaderné energetiky v ČR (NAP JE ČR). NAP JE ČR má být přijatý v následujících týdnech. Pracovali na něm ministr průmyslu a obchodu Jan Mládek s ministrem financí Andrejem Babišem. Vznikal za velmi utajených podmínek. Plán prosazuje hned čtyři jaderné reaktory, dva v Dukovanech a dva v Temelíně. Očekává se ale, že stavět se budou nakonec „pouze“ dva (Dukovany z roku 1985-87 mají získat prvenství před Temelínem z 2000-02). Mládek uplatňuje svůj model: teď se rozhodne, začnou běžet povolovací procesy, EIA, územní řízení, výběr dodavatele, utratí se až 1,2 miliardy EUR do roku 2025 a teprve poté se rozhodne, kde se postaví reaktory a jak stát toto rozhodnutí finančně podpoří. http://www.nuclear-heritage.net/index.php/What_currently_happens_in_Czech_Republic ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 13. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 14.
