Our friends at NukeWatch have alerted us to this eye-opening image - it is focused on Fukushima but has great relevance for us here in Cumbria (and worldwide) where Sellafield has been discharging this stuff to the Irish Sea for over 70 years: Global Times, a Chinese English language daily, produced this graphic fact sheet …

Reblogging this from 2018 – export of uranium products to Russia from Westinghouse (Westinghouse currently advertising in the local News and Star as “clean energy”) . These exports of nuclear materials are no doubt continuing from Lancashire. In Cumbria the boss of the coal mine who is advising UK Govnt on nuclear dumping is bankrolled by EMR capital whose Director (also a director of WCM) is bankrolled by the Russian Government. Meanwhile the UK is sending depleted uranium coated weapons to Ukraine to fight Russia . Its a Game, Stupid!
The following has been sent to investigative journalists (too busy) and national press (studiously ignored) . This Ball is WAY Too Hot to Handle?
The Beautiful Nuclear Game?

Most people have heard of the battle to stop fracking in Lancashire, but just what is going on at the other end of Preston New Road and does anyone care?
Major NGOs Greenpeace and Friends of the Earth are high profile in the fight alongside campaigners in the battle to stop the fracking industry taking a hold in Lancashire.
The great and the good are standing shoulder to shoulder on fracking. Baronesses, MPs and Environmental Journalists amongst others have joined the many ordinary folk at the gates of Cuadrilla’s drilling operations to condemn fracking.
This is all heartening. I have joined in the protests in the battle against fracking on…

An Open Letter to the Coal Authority (an executive non-departmental public body, sponsored by the Department for Energy Security and Net Zero). and the Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO)
Dear Coal Authority and Foreign, Commonwealth and Development Office,
The first deep coal mine in the UK in 30 years announced on May 16th that “we have now successfully closed out a new multimillion pound funding package” What they fail to reveal is where the “multimillion pound” investment is coming from. The initial millions largely spent on public relations and investigative boreholes came from EMR Capital whose owner Owen Hegarty is now a director of West Cumbria Mining. Owen Hegarty also has coal mines in Siberia which have been bankrolled to the tune of tens of millions of pounds both by the…

Poster Against the 1990s NIREX plan for a Rock Laboratory to test the geology for deep dumping of low to intermediate level radioactive waste - now in a vicious mission creep the plan is Much Worse and Government and Nuclear Industry are ALREADY on with the rock characterisation over the heads of the public.

When Gail Bradbrook one of the founders of Extinction Rebellion UK visited Cumbria a few years ago she made clear to the Radio Cumbria presenter that XR would not be opposing nuclear and while anti-nuclear activists could join them, XR would not actually be co-opted into a policy of opposing new nuclear. This week XR …
Radiation Free Lakeland have just put together a reply to the Government's consultation on the nuclear dump plans. You don't have to write a long reply to all their (loaded) questions. The main thing is to say that the GDF and Near Surface plans are too dangerous and that the Government should think again. Please …

“Coal consipracy?
It gets worse. The community I am describing is in West Cumbria. Many of you will know of plans to open a new coal mine there. We have heard the arguments that it is for coking coal and that we need it for the steel industry or otherwise we’ll have to import it, stated to be the unsustainable option. The pro’s love to pull this sustainability argument out of the hat; they think they sound so green.
Now, did you know that the CEO of West Cumbria Mining is none other than the same guy the Government has appointed to be its chief advisor on dumping nuclear waste? Something stinks, doesn’t it? His name is Mark Kirkbride. The two areas in Cumbria assigned for the nuclear…
