France conducts enhanced thermonuclear missile test
France conducts improved ASMPA nuclear missile test shot from Rafale https://www.flightglobal.com/defence/france-conducts-improved-asmpa-nuclear-missile-test-shot-from-rafale/141862.articleBy Craig Hoyle7 January 2021 France has performed a first test firing of an updated MBDA ASMPA nuclear missile from a Dassault Rafale fighter.
Conducted on 9 December 2020, the test activity involved the airframer and weapons provider, plus the flight-test organisation of France’s DGA defence procurement agency. Tracking of the unarmed medium-range missile was performed from facilities in Biscarrosse, Hourtin and Quimper, the DGA notes. The French air force and navy have been equipped with supersonic ASMPA strategic weapons since 2009 and 2010, respectively, currently on F3-standard Rafales. Paris in December 2016 launched a mid-life modernisation activity for the weapon, intended to address obsolescence issues and “improve missile performance”. An MBDA fact sheet describes updates as including “significantly enhanced” range and penetration capabilities, along with the integration of a “new, medium energy thermonuclear charge”. The DGA says the recent test firing marks the completion of detailed design activities, with the updated weapon’s formal qualification expected early this year. This will be followed by series production work and a future qualification firing before the ramjet-powered weapon is approved to enter operational service. France plans to eventually replace the air-launched ASMPA with a future nuclear weapon named ASN4G. |

Hinkley Point C mud dredging – radioactive mud could be dumped off Somerset instead of south Wales.
Energy is considering two sites in the Bristol Channel.
over concerns the mud was contaminated by nuclear waste. But a private disposal site off Portishead, on the England side of the channel, is also under consideration. A public outcry over the original mud dumping led to protests and petitions attracting hundreds of thousands of signatures online, a full Senedd debate and an acknowledgment by both the developers
and Natural Resources Wales that better communication with the public was needed over the plans.https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/uk-wales-55577848
