Antinuclear

pro-nuclear hype, Italy and France’s nuclear wastes

Review, by Christina Macpherson 22 Sept 09 Pro-nuclear hype stepped up over the past week, with the worrying connection being pushed that somehow “nuclear energy and nuclear disarmament” are goals that go together!

In Australia, Paul Howes the very right-wing union leader, and hopeful ALP politician, is to speak on nuclear power, at a Liberal Party seminar! ANU to pursue nuclear research with ANSTO. Ziggy Spinowski spruiking nuclear power for Australia.

Internationally, the push to include nuclear at climate talks continues. The nuke lobby, (including Ziggy) tout Italy and France as winning nuclear examples. But Italy is in the throes of a nuclear waste scandal – ships scuttled in the Mediterranean . In France AREVA’s finncial problems continue, and its nuke waste disposal is coming under scrutiny, too.
