Countering Capenhurst – Issue 13 \u2013 August 2017<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Five Years On.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

On August 8th it was five years since the start of the weekly <\/a><\/span><\/span><\/span>Kick Nuclear and <\/span><\/span><\/span>JAN UK<\/span><\/span><\/span> vigil\u00a0 outside <\/span><\/span><\/span>of the <\/span><\/span><\/span>Japanese Embassy.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

This is not something to celebrate, as there will be nothing to celebrate until there are no more nukiller reactors operating in Japan.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the meanwhile, if anyone is in London on a Friday morning, then they should come join in this ongoing protest.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

New Nukiller Waste Train leaflet<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

We have just published a new leaflet about the transport of high lever nukiller waste by DRS [Direct Rail Services].<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It can be distributed outside of any of the railway stations where used atomic fuel rods are taken through.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The leaflet is entitled Beware.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

If you wish to take a part in the campaign to stop this waste being taken through our towns and city,<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

then you can download a copy of it her<\/a>e.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Not a good investment.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It looks like the money markets are now getting the message that there is no money to be made in the nukiller industry.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Here is what has been happening with just three of these companies of late.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

‘Kuwait Investment Authority (KIA) will sell its nearly five percent stake in Areva to the French state as the nuclear group is delisted and will stay away from nuclear investment.’<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

It will be making an 86% loss on these shares.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

‘ Toshiba shares demoted from first section of Tokyo Stock Exchange’<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

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

In march we read that:-<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

‘EDF’s share price has tumbled to an all-time low after it launched a \u20ac4bn capital raising.’<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

While in July we read: – <\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

‘French state-controlled utility EDF said its first-half 2017 core earnings dropped nearly 22 percent to 6.99 billion euros ($8.17 billion) as two nuclear plants remained closed and competition weighed on retail electricity prices.’<\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Some 10 years ago EDF shares were valued at around 83 Euro.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

They are now worth just 8.75 Euro.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The Golden Question.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

There are two major questions which we keep asking.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Just which nukiller power companies has both Urenco and Toshiba Westinghouse got contracts with?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

&<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Just where does the enriched Uranium and Fuel rods produced at Springfields go to ?<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

All we ever get to read are a few reports which give us just a hint of where that might be.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Thus we welcome any scraps of information which will help us to answer these questions.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Shipping Report<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Tracking just where Uranium from Capenhurst is transported to, <\/span><\/span><\/span>or which ports it goes through is very difficult to ascertain.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

We do however know something about when it has done through the German port of Bremen, <\/span><\/span><\/span>thanks to a series of reports which have been produced by the BREMISCHE B\u00dcRGERSCHAFT.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

Here is a link to just two of these reports.<\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Atomtransporte durch das Land Bremen seit dem 30. Juni <\/span><\/span><\/span>2014<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

Atomtransporte durch das Land Bremen <\/span><\/span><\/span><\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n

This covers the period from 2005 to 2010<\/span><\/span><\/span>These are well worth reading as they show just how much nukiller material is being transported by sea.<\/span><\/span><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
