In the course of planning for two new nuclear power plants in the Netherlands, a strategic environmental assessment (SEA) is being carried out. This SEA is focussing on site selection. We demand that the SEA includes a proof of safe management of spent fuel and radioactive waste, an assessment of alternative options to produce electricity,…
Vattenfall intends to build a new NPP with two big or three to five smaller reactors (SMR), with a total output of 2,800 MWe, in Varberg at the Ringhals nuclear site. An Environmental Impact Assessment started with the scoping phase. The Joint Project submitted a statement that was signed by six European NGOs.
At the nuclear site of Khmelnitsky, two new reactors are foreseen by Ukraine (KhNPP 5&6). Two reactors are already in operation at the site (KhNPP 1&2), and for two other reactors construction was stopped (KhNPP 3&4). An Environmental Impact Assessment is being conducted in spring 2025. The Joint Project participated and submitted a statement that…

Poorly advised governments and the geopolitical interests of the U.S. company Westinghouse, which has…
The tendering process for construction of new nuclear reactors has become a major topic of Czech public debate in the recent months. It is no wonder, as it concerns hundreds of billions of crowns and the parties are aware that the big project might fail. After all, the companies that participate in the tender have…
The Joint Project organized this workshop on 18 June 2024 in Prague. The nuclear revival as it is termed by the nuclear lobby is strongly felt in Central and Eastern Europe (CEE). A close look however makes clear that this high number of planned nuclear power plants is to be built by three reactor manufacturers…
Paks II is one of the most controversial new nuclear power plant construction projects in the EU. Apart from the general problems of nuclear energy utilisation (lack of economic efficiency, risk of accidents, unresolved nuclear waste disposal, etc.), the availability of balanced information for the public is not sufficient, especially in Hungary, also due to…
