Operation Atomic Phaseout: Neither Satisfied Nor Pacified

11-10-2011 20:41

Tens of thousands took the streets in Germany after the renunciation of the phony „red-green exit strategy“ by the CDU/FDP government, and in the aftermath of Fukushima the number of people unwilling to accept the threats from atomic technology rose by dimensions. There is little doubt that the closedown of eight reactors and the u-turn of the cabinet on atomic policy were a reaction to the massive protests.

Radioactive leak at Dounreay nuclear power plant

08-10-2011 11:21

A minor radioactive leak has taken place at a nuclear power plant in Caithness. The incident is being described as minor. The corporate media are being very careful to underplay this story. It currently is not on the guardian or daily mail main webpages, and is only a minor story on bbc uk. However the bbc story is very careful to trumpet the site operator's (probably true) claim that no one's lives were put at risk. It seems people will have to die before anyone accepts the danger of nuclear power.

EDF gets green light to trash 400 acres of greenfield land in Somerset

07-08-2011 07:04

EDF Energy (the UK subsidiary of Electricite de France) has been granted permission by West Somerset District Council to trash over 400 of acres of beautiful greenfield coastal land at Hinkley Point, which sits within the Bridgwater Bay National Nature Reserve, overlooking the Severn Estuary RAMSAR site.

EDF plans to uproot all the trees and vegetation, which provide important habitats for birds, bats, mammals and other precious flora and fauna. It also plans to dig up more soil and rock than was done for the preparation of the London 2012 Olympic site. And all of this before EDF has even submitted an application to the Infrastructure Planning Commission for its planned new nu-killer power station. But worry ye not, because EDF says that if it doesn't get permission to build its new nu-killer reactor (or if it changes its mind for economic or other reasons), then it will restore the land to its former glory.

More photos of the beautiful land EDF wants to trash here:
