Current Concerns.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Much of the focus of anti-nukiller-power activists of late has focused up stopping new build at Hinkley<\/a>, Wylfa,<\/a> and Moorside<\/a>.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is because nukiller New Build will result in:- <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– More pollution as the result of Uranium Mining.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– More Uranium Enrichment work being done at Capenhust with all the dangers which go with it.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– Much more highly radioactive waste to deal with.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

That is why we continue to put a lot of our effects in to opposing such plants<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Future and Recent Events.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– Saturday July 23rd.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

This is the DRS [ Direct Rail Services ] open day at Crewe.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There will be some activists leafleting outside of the DRS Crewe depot that day.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There will also be co-ordinate leafleting sessions outside many of the railway stations which nukiller waste trains go though.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So far confirmed leafleting sessions include London, Bridgewater, and Carnforth in Cumbria.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We will publish a full list neared the time.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

– Tuesday September 20.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There is an Emergency Exercise at Capenhurst that day.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So the idea is the hold a picket outside the plant, and bring along the Geiger Counter in order to make sure that nothing is going wrong inside the plant.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

There should be some press coming along to see our Geiger counter in use. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

More details to follow in the next few months<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Counting their profits.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Full Year 2015 Audited Financial Results for URENCO were published published in March.<\/p>\n

You can read them here.<\/a><\/p>\n

New publications<\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

We have updated our leaflet<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Don’t Hex the Hex<\/a>. <\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The Uranium enrichment process at Capenhurst involves the use of Uranium Hexafluoride (Hex).<\/span><\/strong><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Once enriched in the form of a Uranium Hexafluoride, it is transported by Advance <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Uranium Asset Management (AUAM) on public highways to the Toshiba owned <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Westinghouse Springfields plant near Preston. It is then converted to atomic fuel rods. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A vast and unknown quantity of depleted Hex is in storage at the Capenhurst plant.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

More on the <\/b><\/i>Urenco <\/u><\/b>Partnership with the Science Museum<\/i><\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Urenco have given put more information about their sponsorship of the new Science Museum Gallery <\/a>which opens later on on this your<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Activists within Kick Nuclear are also aware of this. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

A protest will be held outside of the museum when it opens<\/a>. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Though there is no exact date as to just when that will be, <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Cher30byl \u2013 Fuku5hima: Beyond Nuclear<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

During March we participated in the Cher30byl \u2013 Fuku5hima: Beyond Nuclear<\/i> conference which was held in Manchester. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

The major presentations which were given that weeken<\/a>d are to be found upon the Nuclear Free Local Authorities website. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Getting Involved in the Work.<\/b><\/i><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

As with all anti-nukiller-power campaigns there are very few of us working to stop these dangers.<\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus there is a need for more activists, and many more people knowing just what we are working upon. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n

So if you are both willing and able to join in with the work, or would like a someone to speak in your area, then please contact us. <\/b><\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
