If you want to keep up with news about nuclear issues around the world, there’s no easier way to do it than to subscribe to No Nukes News. You can read the current issue online just by clicking on the link above. There’s a button to subscribe at the top of the page.

The newsletter is supported by the Ontario Clean Air Alliance. Consequently, you’ll see the newsletter has a section focusing on events and actions specific to Ontario. However, that in no way prevents their thorough gathering of nuclear news from around the world from being of great value.

I’ve been a subscriber for a while now, and I have not noticed any increase in spam in my email. It seems they do not sell email addresses for any commercial purpose.

The Nuclear Regulatory Commission (NRC) issued the final operating license that DTE Electric (DTE) needs in order to build Fermi 3, a new nuclear rector. They plan to build it on the shore of Lake Erie adjacent to Fermi 2, the world’s largest example of a Fukushima-type reactor. Fermi 2 was already built next to the site of Fermi 1, DTE’s first reactor which melted down in 1966. DTE is planning to double down on the risk of another meltdown.

Just after the fourth anniversary of the ongoing catastrophe at Fukushima in Japan on March 11, here in Michigan we stand at a pivotal moment in the direction of our state’s energy future.  Although we are half a world apart from Japan, on closer examination we’re really too close for comfort.
