URENCO at 52
On March 4th it will be 52 years since the founding of URENCO with Treaty of Almelo.
When the 50th anniversary of the treaty occurred in 2020 we stated that was nothing to celebrate.
We will be going back to the Capenhurst plant at 14.00. on March 4th to repeat this statement.
Short news updates

DRS Updates
DRS Claim to be a Low Carbon Company
DRS continues to try to kid us all that they are concerned about the environment. It is all a part of the nukiller greenwashing which we are all so depressingly familiar with,

Flask Movements.
On January 7th Hunterston B stopped producing electricity having first done so in 1976, and following 8 years of construction.

Award Short listing
We are now starting to compile short list for the 2022 George Monbiot Nukiller Greenwash award.
As you will be aware, the award is named after the influential journalist George Monbiot, who mistakenly believes that Nuclear power is the solution to the Global climate change crisis.
So far we have added Drigg and Copeland Council to the short list, but will add more during the year
