Mezinárodní léto akcí proti atomu, které bylo dílem mnoha skupin z
 +
 různých zemí, je za námi. Proběhla řada podniků, při kterých zájemci
 +
mohli různými způsoby vyjádřit svůj negativní postoj k jaderné
 +
energii. Jedním z nich byl protijaderný letní tábor v Döbelnu
 +
organizovaný aktivisty z Nuclear Heritage Network, během něhož jsme
 +
mluvili o pomocných prostředcích pro protijadernou práci angažovaných
 +
lidí z celého světa, např. také o „NukeNews“. Sešlo se asi 50 lidí ze
 +
13 zemí a 4 kontinentů, aby se navzájem poznali, dozvěděli se o úsilí
 +
těch druhých, diskutovali různé strategie a plánovali aktivity do
 +
budoucna.
 
   
 
   
 +
Tento Newsletter obsahuje zprávy o vývoji jaderné tematiky v Česku,
 +
Slovinsku a Kanadě, jakož i zprávy o protijaderných aktivitách ve
 +
Velké Británii a Spojených státech. Kdybyste se vy a vaše skupiny

  3.  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. "In 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.

  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 +
On 17th June, 2017, we in London held a conference, "No Need For
 +
Nuclear: The Renewables Are Here", in Conway Hall, London. We filmed
 +
the 16 speakers, and made 16 little videos of their speeches and their
 +
slide presentations, (plus one of the welcoming/intro speeches.) Here
 +
is a link to the videos.

  5.  UK: Beware nuclear trains bearing gifts
 
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 +
As announced in the last newsletter, British activists with "Close
 +
Capenhurst" and "Radiation Free Lakeland" took an action at Direct
 +
Rail Services open day on 22nd of July in Carlisle. Braving the rain
 +
in Carlisle campaigners went to bear witness to the Nuclear Industry’s
 +
whitewashing of its seemingly never ending transports of mountains of
 +
spent fuel and nuclear materials.
 +
 +
Created in 1994 by British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. (now the Nuclear
 +
Decommissioning Authority) to take over British Rail’s handling of
 +
nuclear material. DRS has since diversified into other freight
 +
operations including food.

  6.  UK: "The last radioactive particle has been picked up" from St
 +
    Bees beach
 
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 +
On 30th of July Cumbria Wildlife Trust held again an annual event
 +
"Beached Art" for young children at St Bees beach encouraging them to
 +
play for hours in this same sand where there are the most dangerous
 +
radionuclides which should be kept separate from the biosphere.
 +
This sand sculpture event organised by a trusted charity is not only
 +
unethical but it is aiding and abetting the continuing tsumani of
 +
radioactive wastes being dumped into the Irish Sea.
 +
 +
Radiation Free Lakeland point out that the Sellafield Annual Report
 +
states that one of the last radioactive particles to be picked up from
 +
St Bees was a tiny metal particle of Cobalt 60 which is a synthetic
 +
radioactive isotope of cobalt with a half-life of 5.2714 years. It is
 +
produced artificially in nuclear reactors. CWT insist that all
 +
radioactive particles have been picked up from St Bees beach. However,
 +
Sellafield themselves admit that their monitoring is limited, they do
 +
not pick up all radioactive particles, monitoring stops over Easter,
 +
Summer and Christmas in order not to frighten beach users.

  10. Anti-nuclear updates from California
 
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 
  ----------------------------------------------------------------------
 +
Other than the bay area's annual nuclear weapons action at Livermore
 +
Labs, activists have been watching three legal cases in California and
 +
the Trump administration's push to restart Yucca Mountain. The World
 +
Business Academy's lawsuit to reverse the state's decision to extend
 +
Diablo Canyon's lease of state's lands beyond 2018 failed (our last
 +
chance to close it early). Diablo Canyon's Public Utilities Commission
 +
process to close Diablo Canyon in 2024 is winding down, and attempts
 +
to reverse the amount of money the owner of San Onofre wants for
 +
closing the twin reactors is also in a legal quagmire. On 8-28 a judge
 +
accepted a proposed settlement between a number of public interest
 +
groups and the utility operating San Onofre, that the company would
 +
move the reactors spent fuel inland to a safer location within five
 +
years even though there is no repository - possibly to the Palos Verde
 +
reactor in AZ. San Onofre is less than 50 miles from Los Angeles and
 +
is near a number of active earthquake faults.

11. World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2017 released
 +
----------------------------------------------------------------------
 +
12th of September, 2017, the new World Nuclear Industry Status Report
 +
in the 2017 edition has been published. Independent nuclear
 +
consultants Mycle Schneider and Antony Froggatt are the main authors
 +
of this critical annual report that sketches the ongoing decline of
 +
the global nuclear industry, that has been published every year since
 +
2007. It is an important, if not the most relevant, study on the
 +
development of commercial atomic reactors in the world. The authors
 +
not only compare statistical data on constructions starts,
 +
cancellations and closures, but analyze the economic situation of
 +
nuclear operators and the atomic policies in several countries. While
 +
the report shows again that the nuclear industry is in a financial
 +
crisis and affordable prices on electricity produced by atomic power
 +
plants remains an illusion, it also points out the rapid development
 +
of the competing renewable energy installations.

Firma ČEZ uzavřela pojištění svých jaderných elektráren na škody v

 řádu desítek miliard korun. Česká vláda se však vyhýbá tomu, aby plně 

pojistila obyvatele a podnikatele v okolí jaderných elektráren
Dukovany a Temelín proti jaderné havárii. Skrývá se za tímto chováním

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 Dolní Rožínka uranium mines, 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.

3.  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. "In 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.

4.  UK: "No Need For Nuclear" conference videos
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On 17th June, 2017, we in London held a conference, "No Need For
Nuclear: The Renewables Are Here", in Conway Hall, London. We filmed
the 16 speakers, and made 16 little videos of their speeches and their
slide presentations, (plus one of the welcoming/intro speeches.) Here
is a link to the videos.

5.  UK: Beware nuclear trains bearing gifts
----------------------------------------------------------------------
As announced in the last newsletter, British activists with "Close
Capenhurst" and "Radiation Free Lakeland" took an action at Direct
Rail Services open day on 22nd of July in Carlisle. Braving the rain
in Carlisle campaigners went to bear witness to the Nuclear Industry’s
whitewashing of its seemingly never ending transports of mountains of
spent fuel and nuclear materials.

Created in 1994 by British Nuclear Fuels Ltd. (now the Nuclear
Decommissioning Authority) to take over British Rail’s handling of
nuclear material. DRS has since diversified into other freight
operations including food.

6.  UK: "The last radioactive particle has been picked up" from St
    Bees beach
----------------------------------------------------------------------
On 30th of July Cumbria Wildlife Trust held again an annual event
"Beached Art" for young children at St Bees beach encouraging them to
play for hours in this same sand where there are the most dangerous
radionuclides which should be kept separate from the biosphere.
This sand sculpture event organised by a trusted charity is not only
unethical but it is aiding and abetting the continuing tsumani of
radioactive wastes being dumped into the Irish Sea.

Radiation Free Lakeland point out that the Sellafield Annual Report
states that one of the last radioactive particles to be picked up from
St Bees was a tiny metal particle of Cobalt 60 which is a synthetic
radioactive isotope of cobalt with a half-life of 5.2714 years. It is
produced artificially in nuclear reactors. CWT insist that all
radioactive particles have been picked up from St Bees beach. However,
Sellafield themselves admit that their monitoring is limited, they do
not pick up all radioactive particles, monitoring stops over Easter,
Summer and Christmas in order not to frighten beach users.

8.  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.

9.  Canadian federal government wants more information on impact of
    proposed nuclear-waste bunker near Indigenous community
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Further information on how a proposed nuclear-waste bunker near Lake
Huron might affect area First Nations peoples is needed before the
government decides whether to approve the project.

10. Anti-nuclear updates from California
----------------------------------------------------------------------
Other than the bay area's annual nuclear weapons action at Livermore
Labs, activists have been watching three legal cases in California and
the Trump administration's push to restart Yucca Mountain. The World
Business Academy's lawsuit to reverse the state's decision to extend
Diablo Canyon's lease of state's lands beyond 2018 failed (our last
chance to close it early). Diablo Canyon's Public Utilities Commission
process to close Diablo Canyon in 2024 is winding down, and attempts
to reverse the amount of money the owner of San Onofre wants for
closing the twin reactors is also in a legal quagmire. On 8-28 a judge
accepted a proposed settlement between a number of public interest
groups and the utility operating San Onofre, that the company would
move the reactors spent fuel inland to a safer location within five
years even though there is no repository - possibly to the Palos Verde
reactor in AZ. San Onofre is less than 50 miles from Los Angeles and
is near a number of active earthquake faults.

11. World Nuclear Industry Status Report 2017 released
----------------------------------------------------------------------
12th of September, 2017, the new World Nuclear Industry Status Report
in the 2017 edition has been published. Independent nuclear
consultants Mycle Schneider and Antony Froggatt are the main authors
of this critical annual report that sketches the ongoing decline of
the global nuclear industry, that has been published every year since
2007. It is an important, if not the most relevant, study on the
development of commercial atomic reactors in the world. The authors
not only compare statistical data on constructions starts,
cancellations and closures, but analyze the economic situation of
nuclear operators and the atomic policies in several countries. While
the report shows again that the nuclear industry is in a financial
crisis and affordable prices on electricity produced by atomic power
plants remains an illusion, it also points out the rapid development
of the competing renewable energy installations.
