'Stop Nuclear Trains through the Olympic Site and Stratford' - Public meeting organised by the Nuclear Trains Action Group, Stratford Advice Arcade, Saturday 18 June 2011

Presentation by Daniel Viesnik, Kick Nuclear

Why are we worried about nuclear waste trains passing through the Olympic site and the local area? This is due to the risk of a terrorist attack or accident.

No more Fukushimas - 10-11 March 2012: Blockade Hinkley Point

Posted Sun, 27/11/2011 - 2:20pm by admin

Surround and blockade Hinkley Point, Somerset

Hinkley Point is the first of eight proposed sites for nuclear new build to go ahead. We stopped them here before in 1987, and we can do it again in 2012. If they fail at Hinkley, it is unlikely the “nuclear renaissance” will have the momentum to continue.

On the 10th -11th March 2012, one year since the Fukushima nuclear disaster began, we will return to Hinkley to form a human chain around the station to show our determined opposition to new nuclear.

Event Date and Time: 
Sat, 10/03/2012 - 1:00pm - Sun, 11/03/2012 - 2:00pm

FUKUSHIMA:
The biggest industrial disaster in history.

Japan, has been brought to its knees by the ongoing events at Fukushima.

The reactors that went into meltdown in March have now melted through the foundations and 40 years of accumulated nuclear waste is emitting vast amounts of radiation, contaminating the land, sea and air. In desperation, the Japanese government is transporting and burning radioactive rubble all over Japan and exporting highly contaminated food as “aid” to developing countries.
