Lockdown Campaigning<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

As with many campaigning groups and organisations, it is extremely difficult to plan any protests, pickets, leafleting sessions, or public events at present.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus we are spending a lot of out time keeping up to date with various nukiller developments, and trying to work out just where we might hold events over the next year to 15 months.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The problem is that many of the places we wish to hold events in are now back in lockdown again. A good example being Preston near Springfields. While many of the events at which we have had stalls in the past have been cancelled this year.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On the plus side it is giving us time to evaluate just how we will continue to campaigning over the next few years.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Current Campaigns<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There are currently a lot of news stories about reactor developments with possible new build, Hinkley, Sizewell, & Bradwell.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Rather than just link, or reproduce all this news information, we recommend everyone to take out a subscription<\/strong> to the No2NuclearPower<\/a> daily news briefings.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Other blogs and websites which we also recommend in terms of keeping up to date on energy and nukiller power issues are that of<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Dr Ian Fairlie<\/a>, Dave Toke’s Green Energy Blo<\/a>g , RADIATION FREE LAKELAND<\/a>, <\/a>Beyond Nuclear International<\/a>, <\/a><\/strong>Fairewinds Energy Education,<\/strong><\/a> <\/strong><\/em>and the WISE Nuclear Monitor<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also keep up to date upon what’s new via our facebook page.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Petitions<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Currently there are a number of online petitions calling for action to stop the nukiller power industry.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

A number of these are to be found on the Stop Hinkley Website.<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

There is also a Petition calling on the Welsh Government to invoke the Environment (Wales) Act 2016,<\/a> and thus stop the dumping of radioactively contaminated mud in Welsh waters.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keeping Informed Via Out Publications<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Unlike many campaigning groups we are not holding online talks, but you can still keep yourself informed by reading our publications online.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here are the links to them.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Capenhurst<\/strong>. The facts.<\/strong><\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Spotlight on Springfields<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Wildlife and the Atom<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

You can also find a lot of information via our Issue Briefings<\/a>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRS Updates<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

DRS are still moving used nukiller fuel rods to Sellafield.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Recent waste flask movements included to and from Torness on May 14th<\/sup> & June 16th<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

While they were also observed going through Crewe on May 20th<\/sup> & June 6th<\/sup>.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

It is also of note that DRS are still recruiting for more drivers, which will be based in their London and Rugby depots.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Future Events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Windscale Fire Anniversary events<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

On October 10th<\/sup> it will be the 63nd Anniversary Of The Windscale Fire.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

At the moment we intend to mark this anniversary.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

How exactly this will be done will depend upon both local lockdowns, and the availability of public transport.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So more information about what we intend to do much nearer the time.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
