Antinuclear

To 4th August – nuclear news Australia

6th August Hiroshima 9th August Nagasaki  – so far these anniversaries are being ignored by the media. But not in Japan.   Japanese children will pass on the history of Nagasaki’s horror nuclear bombing on 9 Aug 1945

The heatwave continues in the Northern hemisphere, but rarely is that awful left-wing term “climate change”mentioned in news reports. It’s affecting all the Northern countries, though there is more news coverage about USA and Europe. Human-caused climate change made heat wave five times more likely.

Much nuclear news about the heatwave, too. The nuclear lobby’s poster boy, France, is copping it, with nuclear reactors having further cuts to their production, their cooling systems being unable to cope. Other countries’ reactors are similarly affected.

• Exposing the lies about planned Kimba or Hawker nuclear waste dump.
• Australian govt names Whyalla, Port Pirie, South Australian Ports to impose nuclear waste shipments.
• Senator Matt Canavan wants a nuclear waste site chosen by November. Is Minister Canavan lying about nuclear wastes, or is he just uninformed?
• Here we go again: nuclear lobby wants more submissions, but it’s worth doing.
• Aboriginal landowners not allowed to vote on planned nuclear waste dump.
• Petition to South Australian Premier to block nuclear waste dump, in line with South Australian law.
• In South Australia pro nuclear people have been seeded into positions of power.
• Catholic Religious Australia: temporary nuclear waste dump will cause serious future problems.
• Spent nuclear fuel moved by road from ANSTO to Port Kembla in late-night operation
• Processing of radioactive wastes at Woomera to take 5 to 10 years.

ANSTO has the luxury of its commercial follies being funded by the tax-payer.
