Nuclear news – week to 31 July

Some bits of good news -   Syrian refugees in Jordan empowered through heritage restoration work, employed by UNESCO.     "A Thousand Colours"  https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qz4pLmi6tDY   This new UNESCO-Khalili Foundation film "A Thousand Colours" aims to humanize the notion of cultural diversity. Why is cultural diversity important? What are some of the current challenges that undermine it? And what can we do to protect and promote cultural diversity? These are some of the questions addressed by the short film, which gathers testimonies from a number of key global actors including UNESCO Goodwill Ambassadors and advocates.  Saving the world is cheaper than ruining it.

TOP STORIES

If Albanese's such a buddy of Biden's, why is Assange still in jail? Australia Agrees To Build US Missiles; US Dismisses Australian Concerns About Assange.

William Hartung, Cashing in on a Perpetual Nuclear Arms Race.

Why investing in new nuclear plants is bad for the climate. Small Modular Nuclear Reactors (SMRs) are supported by ideology alone.

Aboriginal Australians defeat nuclear dump,

Western media as cheerleaders for war.

Climate. 'Era of global boiling has arrived,' says UN chief . 'Project 2025': plan to dismantle US climate policy for next Republican president.

Nuclear. Militarism rules - not always nuclear-related, but pretty much so. I am currently feeling overwhelmed by the speed of my own country, Australia, in its hurtling rush to be a servant of the USA's NUCLEAR-MILITARY-COMPLEX. No voice from the people - just a straightout government sellout.

Christina's Notes. Jobs! jobs! jobs! - IN THE DEATH INDUSTRY.  Aliens in outer space – a little sad on watching earthlings.

CIVIL LIBERTIES. AUSMIN and Assange: The Great Vassal Smackdown

ECONOMICS.   Money talks: 109 global institutions restrict investments in nuclear weapons.        There's no such thing as a new nuclear golden age–just old industry hands trying to make a buck. Keeping contentious nuclear plant open could cost Californians $45B: report.        As UK's Hinkley nuclear plants costs rise to £32 billion ($41.5 billion) EDF Sees Higher Risk of Delays.  Government must back Rolls-Royce on nuclear, says ex-boss Sir John Rose.

EDUCATION. University of New Mexico Course Expands Understanding of Nuclear Impact.

ENERGY. Oppenheimer and nuclear energy: Is India and the world moving away from this power source? Old Nuclear Weapons Sites Targeted for Clean Energy Projects.

ENVIRONMENT. Failed Fukushima System Should Cancel Wastewater Ocean Dumping.

HISTORY. St. Louis link in 'Oppenheimer' is latest reminder of city's nuclear legacy. Oppenheimer sent 'chilling message' to Jawaharlal Nehru about US building a deadly weapon, 'begged' him not to give access to raw material available in India.

LEGAL. Key British Assange supporter says Wikileaks founder could cut deal to secure freedom.

MEDIA. Oppenheimer's Long Shadow- Reads on the atomic bomb and its creator. Nauseating subservience of Australia's media and politics to American militarism. Readers disgusted with pro militarism report on Australia getting a "missiles industry".    Australian media's alarm over Chinese spy ship highlights stark double-standard.   

NUCLEAR TECHNOLOGY. To avoid nuclear instability, a moratorium on integrating AI into nuclear decision-making is urgently needed: The NPT PrepCom can serve as a springboard

OPPOSITION to NUCLEAR . 90 Seconds to Midnight - nuclear weapons are still a threat, not a lesson in history.

POLITICS. 

  • USA. More Warmongers Elevated In The Biden Administration.     Massachusetts rejects Holtec's request to discharge radioactive water from closed nuclear plant into bay. Past and Future Collide over Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant .  No new nuclear facilities along vulnerable coasts, Alaska regulators say. Connecticut governor should veto bill funding unneeded nuclear.       
  •  UK.  UK govt to pour another £170million of taxpayers' cash into planned Sizewell C nuclear plant: is it value for money? UK's nuclear power ambitions for 2050 lack clear plan, say MPs. UK Government's infrastructure advisors cast doubt over UK's biggest energy projects including nuclear clearup. Now, not in 15 years': Call for public vote on Theddlethorpe nuclear waste dump. Cumbria set for more nuclear reactors as questions are raised over why land isn't being used for renewable energy. 

POLITICS INTERNATIONAL and DIPLOMACY.

  • Japan Doesn't Want to Fight for Taiwan and Neither Do Other US Allies. Will the small states of Oceania be able to maintain their independence in the face of a new Sino-American Cold War?
  • Russia prepared to seek diplomatic solution in Ukraine, NATO refuses to talk. The coming Russian-Polish war.
  • Iran says ready to settle remaining dispute with IAEA over nuclear program. Rising Global Interest to Join Nuclear Damage Compensation Treaty.

SAFETY. The misguided push to weaken nuclear safety standards is gaining steam. The Global Crisis at the Zaporizhzhia Nuclear Site Demands Immediate United Nations Intervention. Will this experimental nuclear reactor escape federal scrutiny? Aware people in Suffolk are astonished that very few people or organisations are consulted about changes to Sizewell C Nuclear's Emergency Plan.

SECRETS and LIES. UPDATE – The Zaporozhiya Nuclear Plant: Zelenskiy's Next Simulacra? CIA-Linked Security Company Targeted Former Ecuador President Who Granted Assange Asylum.

SPACE. EXPLORATION, WEAPONS. NASA solving climate crisis by facilitating escape to Mars? Funny How The UFO Narrative Coincides With The Race To Weaponize Space. Legal action over dangerous crowding of satellites and debris in space. NASA is planning to use nuclear power for the first human trip to Mars. Military interest in nuclear-powered space travel, but solar-powered is just as good, -and safer.

WASTES. IAEA report on Fukushima waste-water is wrong - nuclear scientist. Not in our backyard: Securing a referendum over Canada's plan for a nuclear waste dump. AUKUS nuclear dump deal decades in the making by nuclear evangelists with prescience.

WAR and CONFLICT. Overnight drone attack on Moscow injures one and temporarily closes an airport as Russia suffers 'consequences'. US admits to pushing Ukraine into a fight it can't win .     Discarding Illusions, Ending Wars.       Nuclear weapons on the table if Ukraine counteroffensive succeeds: Russia's Medvedev.       Ukrainian drone attack on Moscow is 'international terrorism' – Russia's Foreign Ministry. 

 70 Years Later, The Korean War Must End. Washington's looming war against China. The vanishing profession of preventing nuclear war.

WEAPONS and WEAPONS SALES. Trident nuclear project can't be delivered, says watchdog.      Bombs away: Confronting the deployment of nuclear weapons in non-nuclear weapon countries.         Following the pattern of weapons to Ukraine, Pentagon to send $1billion of weapons to Taiwan .        What would George Washington do? He would have audacity to end nuclear weapons.
