help stop new nukes in the USA
For the first time in decades, the nuclear power industry is considering building new nuclear reactors in the United States.

Rann Drives Mining Without a License
More acid insitu-leaching (ISL) mines for South Australia? This process involves injecting sulphuric acid into groundwater to dissolve uranium, which is then brought to the surface for processing. It poses grave risks to ground water. To highlight the dangers associated with this mining process, a ‘mock trial mine’ will be established in Adelaide this weekend.
