Windscale, Springfields, Fracking, and Hex.
Following on from the event we held outside of the Springfields plant on the 61st anniversary of the Windscale fire, there has been a lot on the press about the Fracking sites in the area.

Rossing Uranium Mine.
The RTZ Rossing Uranium Mine in Namibia will be very familiar to anyone who was active in an earlier age while campaigning against Apartheid. While the activities of the company have been the subject of Shareholders actions by Partizans (People against Rio Tinto and its Subsidiaries).
In November the company announced that it will sell its remaining 60% ownership in the mine to the China National Uranium Corporation Limited.
