The week in nuclear news

Christina Macpherson’s websites & blogs

Climate change in the news, following the IPCC report . The nuclear front group The Breakthrough Institute fraudulently pitches that report as a pro nuclear document

Economics.

Germany’s renewable energy output lowers European electricity prices

Some top nuclear executives are selling their stock.  Commercial nuclear power shrinking, while plenty of uranium will last. Bavaria shuts down uneconomic nuclear plant. Czech Republic cancels nuclear power expansion

But there’s  a bright side to nuclear economics , as nuclear companies get together to organise the global lucrative business of shutting down nuclear reactors.

  Japan   Harrassment of  Mari Takenouchi a freelance Japanese journalist, who writes about radiation and Fukushima’s children – has escalated.  A very worrying tip of the iceberg of silencing independent opinion about nuclear power and Fukushima.

Decision to restart nuclear reactors may backfire  politically and economically on the Abe government.  Much opposition from public and influential community leaders           Government duplicity in radiation readings 

UK. David Cameron acknowledges damage to offspring of nuclear test veterans. UK defence heavies bullying Scotland which wants to get rid of nuclear weapons base.

South Africa – boosting renewable energy
