About NukeNews ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 1. Accident in German fuel elements fabrication factory ---------------------------------------------------------------------- On December 13, 2018 about 110 people met in Lingen in Northern Germany to protest against ANF fuel elements fabrication factory after a fire inside the facility. There had been was an explosion during the night shift. Nearly nobody was on site, it turned to be a big action for more than 100 fireman...

Ontario, Canada opts for nuclear rebuilds and extensions ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Ontario is at a crossroads - we could phase out our 18 aging nuclear reactors OR we could rebuild and extend them, locking us into high cost nuclear power for the next 50 years. Our governmentt has chosen to rebuild 12 and extend the life of 6. Meanwhile, our neighbor Quebec is offering us low cost renewable water power at one third the price. The Ontario Clean Air Alliance continues to advocate for a deal with Quebec to replace our aging high cost nukes.

CESOPE's anti-uranium struggles in Tanzania ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Uranium mining is an activity with long term negative consequences. Since 2008 CESOPE along with other CSOs (civil society organizations) have been trying to advocate against uranium mining in Bahi-Dodoma region, Manyoni-Singida region and in Namtumbo-Songea Region, creating awareness to the communities that will be affected by uranium mining. CESOPE has also been able to influence decision making spaces and channels of influence at different levels at national and international levels. This report provides a snapshot of activity achievements that we were able to implement in the year 2018.

Polish nuclear program developments ---------------------------------------------------------------------- Without having announced the updated nuclear power program (including the decision on whether to continue the first build plan or not), on 23 November, 2018, shortly before the UN Climate Summit (CoP24) was held in Katowice, the Polish Ministry of Energy (MoE) announced its draft 'Energy policy for PL through 2040' (PEP2040), submitting it for public consultation (which was closing on 15 January, 2019). Some of the Polish environmental NGOs noted that the draft was not accompanied by a draft SEA (strategic environmental assessment), therefore it is invalid and breeching the PL and EU law.

India: no remarkable nuclear developments last year ---------------------------------------------------------------------- 2018 neither any exceptional acquisitions or advancements have been made by the Indian government, nor has any massive anti-nuclear people’s mobilization taken place at the grassroots compared to the immediate post-Fukushima years. On all these counts, the observable surface-reality appears less remarkable than what most observers would have expected. Nevertheless, many smaller steps happened, and the Dianuke.org editor composed a detailed report about the atomic activities of India last year.
