************************************************************ * NukeNews 18 – Serwis informacyjny z dziedziny antyatomu * ************************************************************ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0. Tytułem wstępu ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Aktywiści antyatomowi obecnie swoimi działaniami kreatywnymi i obozami protestacyjnymi wywierają presję na konsorcjum Fennovoima-Rosatom, podczas gdy operator powinien już latem tego roku rozpocząć budowę planowanej elektrowni jądrowej w Pyhäjoki, gdyż w przeciwnym razie wygaśnie zasadnicza decyzja polityczna (Decision-in-Principle). Dwie wiadomości z Finlandii w niniejszym wydaniu NukeNews przynoszą informacje na temat nowych działań Fennovoimy i zapraszają do dołączenia do ruchu oporu. Poza tym wiele artykułów przynosi przegląd ostatnich wydarzeń w energetyce jądrowej w niektórych krajach Europy Wschodniej. Przyjrzymy się także wspólnie takim krajom jak Australia, Stany Zjednoczone i Kanada. Ważna dla obywateli Europy i organizacji antyatomowych jest informacja o umowie Euratom, która jest zasadnicza dla rozwoju energetyki jądrowej w Unii Europejskiej oraz odpowiedzialna za niektóre problemy podczas konsekwentnego odchodzenia od tej branży energetycznej. W naszym aktualnym wydaniu wzywamy do kampanii, która powinna zmusić rząd niemiecki, aby upuścił od powyższej umowy, odgrywającej tak zasadniczą rolę w polityce europejskiej. Wierzymy, że niniejsze 18 wydanie newslettera NukeNews spodoba się Państwu. Państwa reakcje będą miło widziane! ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Spis treści aktualnego wydania NukeNews nr 18 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 0.

Obóz akcji przeciw energii jądrowej w Pyhäjoki, Finlandia ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Koncern jądrowy Fennovoima zamierza rozpocząć budowę kolejnej elektrowni jądrowej w unikatowym ekologicznie regionie Hanhikivi Cape w Pyhäjoki na północnym zachodzie Finlandii. Zastopujmy ten nieodpowiedzialny i niebezpieczny projekt! Moc ludzi przeciw energii jądrowej! Od 8 do 21 czerwca sojusz akcji demokratycznej Hyökyaalto (Rising Tide Finnland) organizuje w pobliżu Hanhikivi Cape obóz akcji przeciw energii jądrowej. Na obozie chcielibyśmy się poznać się i podzielić się umiejętnościami i pomysłami dotyczącymi różnych form oporu bezpośredniego. Chcielibyśmy zachęcić uczestników do proponowania programu na te tematy. Decyzje winny być podejmowane na zasadzie konsensusu. Nie ma zatem miejsca na jakąkolwiek dyskryminację ze względu na płeć, orientację seksualną, przynależność etniczną itd. Symbole partyjne czy też nacjonalistyczne nie mają na obozie czego szukać.

Oficjalny raport: awaria odpadów jądrowych spowodowana przez zły żwirek dla kotów ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Po trwającym przez cały rok dochodzeniu, Ministerstwo Energetyki Stanów Zjednoczonych opublikowało liczący 277 stron raport, podsumowujący, że poważna awaria w składowisku odpadów jądrowych w Nowym Meksyku w lutym 2014 roku została spowodowana przez złej jakości żwirek dla kotów. Chodzi o to samo składowisko jądrowe, o którym kanadyjska organizacja ds. zarządzania odpadami Nuclear Waste Management Organization mówi jako o modelu dla składowiska, jakie sama planuje założyć przy brzegu jeziora Hurońskiego w prowincji Ontario. http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=998fedf8a7&e=2ece43c12c ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 3. Ontario upiera się przy energii jądrowej ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Kanadyjska prowincja Ontario znajduje się w samym środku rewolucji energetycznej, jednak nadal niezmiennie upiera się przy energetyce jądrowej. W czasie, kiedy większość elektrowni jądrowych w Ontario zbliża się do końcowej fazy swojego planowanego okresu żywotności, rząd prowincji nadal inwestuje miliardy dolarów w przedłużanie czasu ich eksploatacji. Z ekonomicznego punktu widzenia istnieje przy tym wiele innych, bardziej sensownych możliwości, opierających się na odnawialnych źródłach energii. http://cleanairalliance.us5.list-manage.com/track/click?u=9e0d2b5aacdacc8f6d679bba2&id=8b90a4eda8&e=2ece43c12c ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 4. Fennovoima już teraz wycina lasy pod budowę planowanej elektrowni jądrowej ---------------------------------------------------------------------- W regionie Hanhikivi Cape w finlandzkim Pyhäjoki firma Fennovoima już teraz wycina lasy i niszczy delikatny krajobraz, aby móc tu wybudować drogę do swojej planowanej elektrowni jądrowej. Tymczasem firma otrzymała od tutejszej gminy zezwolenie na wylesienie ok. 100 hektarów ekologicznie cennego krajobrazu, co odpowiada jednej piątej części całego regionu Hanhikivi Cape. Zgoda fińskiego rządu odnośnie budowy nowej elektrowni jądrowej uzależniona jest od spełnienia określonych warunków, wiele ważnych kwestii jednak nadal pozostaje otwartych: na przykład, czy do projektu elektrowni jądrowej dołączy wystarczająco dużo chętnych z Finlandii i Europy, albo także, co się będzie działo w przyszłości z odpadami. Jeżeli budowa elektrowni w końcu nie dojdzie do skutku, to pozostanie nam niepotrzebnie zniszczona przyroda. Naturalny charakter wybrzeża, powstały w drodze podnoszenia się gruntu, tak samo jak zagrożone ptaki i rozmaite gatunki zwierząt, są zbyt cenne, aby je niszczyć w ten sposób. Ze względu na ptaki wędrownicze oraz na okres zagnieżdżania, właśnie wiosna jest szczególnie niekorzystnym okresem do wycinania.

Zatopienie obszaru w miejscu planowanej kopalni uranu w Australii pokazuje ryzyka ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Lake Way - jezioro, które przez większość czasu jest wyschnięte, a w którym firma Toro Energy chce założyć kopalnię uranu, jest zatopione. To powoduje duże obawy odnośnie planowanego wydobycia uranu na dnie jeziora. Poza tym, firma Toro Energy zamierza przechowywać pozostałości radioaktywne z planowanej kopalni uranu Willuna - nawet 100 milionów ton - w już pustych, wyeksploatowanych kopalniach Centipede i Milipede, które znajdują się również na dnie jeziora i obecnie są całe pod wodą. ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 6. Poland: Heads of local governments urge to make decision on siting of the planned NPP ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Three heads of the gminas (local governments), in a letter to the new Prime Minister, Ewa Kopacz, urged to take a final decision on constructing (or not) the NPP in one of their locations. 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 ---------------------------------------------------------------------- A 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 the 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 schedule, 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 created for Hinkley Point C - a deal that in the coming weeks will be put before the European Court by Austria and Luxembourg, because of alleged illegal state aid and market distortion.

What is currently happening in the Czech Republic ---------------------------------------------------------------------- The Czech government approved the State Energy Policy (ASEK) on 18 May 2015. Calla, along with other associations – the Friends of the Earth and Greenpeace - issued a joint press release for it. One of the most contentious issues, which the policy promotes, is the high proportion of nuclear energy and coal. When looking into the study called Smart Energy (2009), you will find that the policy resembles the first and the worst-case scenario called "No Active Policy" because the Czech Republic does virtually nothing for the transformation of Czech energy towards renewable energy (renewables' share in electricity production should be max. 25%, and it is unclear whether the state intends to help households in achieving energy autonomy). On the contrary, the Ministry of Industry and Trade (MPO) wants to re-enforce its plans for new nuclear reactors. And the National Action Plan for the Development of Nuclear Energy in the Czech Republic (NAP JE ČR) aims at pushing these through. NAP ČR is to be adopted in the coming weeks. The MPO Minister, Jan Mládek, and Finance Minister, Andrej Babiš, collaborated on it. The plan's formation could be classified as “top secret”. The plan promotes four nuclear reactors, two at Dukovany NPP and two at Temelín NPP. It is expected, however, that eventually "only" two reactors will go ahead (the Dukovany dating from 1985 to 1987 should outstrip the Temelín from 2000-02). Mládek applies his model: we shall decide now, begin the licensing process, the Environmental Impact Assessment (EIA), urban planning, vendor selection, spend up to 1.2 billion EUR by 2025 and then decide where to build the nuclear reactors and how the State will support the decision financially.

The accelerating decline of French nuclear power ---------------------------------------------------------------------- France is at a crossroads and is having a national energy debate. A draft bill before the French Parliament calls for reducing French reliance on nuclear to 50 % by 2025. Fossil fuels would be cut by 30 % by 2030. Renewables would increase by 32% and overall energy use would drop by 20 % (and drop by 50 % by mid-century), achieved primarily by increasing energy efficiency. The Parliament is expected to approve the policy next month. However, it still needs to pass through the Senate and then back again to the assemblé nationale - it all depends on what the installed capacity limit is. If the capacity is limited at current capacity 63.2 GW it means only one nuclear plant has to close to compensate for the EPR being built at Flamanville. 50 % reduction in nuclear by 2025 sounds good in theory but if overall electricity consumption increases no NPP's will close. The French Senate on the first reading of the law increased the installed capacity limit to 64.85 GW and didn't have a date for the 50 % reduction in nuclear. The proposed law will now go to the French Senate for a second reading before going back again to the assemblé nationale to be adopted definitely so still time for changes.

Austria: Nuclear Energy Conference 2015 - short report ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Linz was the venue, where around 150 activists from 12 countries met on the 19th of May 2015 to listen to interesting talks about the current situation in Germany, Austria, Poland, France, the Czech Republic and England. In each country the work of the anti-nuclear network is quite different, the complications with which the nuclear lobby is battling seem similar however: where to find investors in a field, that is increasingly a financial pain in the neck, while the renewables get cheaper and cheaper? And at the same time how to explain to the public, that they should not worry about their money, .... which will be especially interesting in the British case. The organizers of the conference, atomstopp_atomkraftfrei leben!, Mütter gegen Atomgefahr and Anti Atom Komitee, supported by the Upper Austrian regional government also arranged possibilities for networking before and after the conference. An online presentation of the conference can be found here: http://www.nec2015.eu/en/presentations.php ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 15. Anti-Nuclear Activists go on trial for opposing Trident ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2 Anti-Nuclear Activists from Somerset in the UK, Nikki Clark & Theo Simon, are due to go on trial to defend themselves against allegations of aggravated trespass, at HMP Devonport - a port where Britain's Nuclear Submarines that carry the UK Trident missile system is berthed for major upgrades. The Trial date had originally been set for May 19th, however this date was adjourned on the day before the trial date, the same day as a big Trident Scandal story broke in the UK. A Trident Submariner William McNeilly, published a dossier about Trident safety & security breaches on wiki-leaks after going absent without leave. For more information about the trial see here: http://tinyurl.com/qfndg7q as soon as a date is set it will be published here: https://southwestagainstnuclear.wordpress.com/ and about the dossier on safety & security breaches on Trident: https://wikileaks.org/trident-safety/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 16. Joining the dots on fossil fuels, nukes and climate change ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Climate and Energy Activists in the UK joined up the dots on fossil fuels, nukes and climate change at the Reclaim Power camp in Oxford at the last weekend of May which culminated in a day of direct action on Monday 1st June, which targeted Public Relations firms involved, with fossil fuels, fracking and nuclear power. Actions involved, office occupations with lock-on tubes and street theatre turning Camargue into a Nuclear Contamination Zone... for more info see here: http://www.nodashforgas.org.uk/press-releases/media-zoo-and-camargue-targeted/ ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 17.
