Finnish Nuclear Power Plant is Safe - Norden - 06 May 08
"'As a result of these measures it has been possible to establish that the original safety and quality requirements have been met. There is therefore no risk of any of the problems raised in Greenpeace’s fact sheet on safety at the nuclear power unit Olkiluoto 3', says [Finland’s Minister of Trade and Industry, Mauri] Pekkarinen. Pekkarinen refers to a fact sheet about problems at the nuclear power plant compiled by Greenpeace. In the fact sheet Greenpeace raises questions, amongst other things, about the quality of the concrete, the planned storage of nuclear waste and the lack of competent manpower.
The Danish MP Kristen Touborg sent a written question to the Finnish government in the spring with reference to Greenpeace's fact sheet."

Slovak Green Party Criticises Issuing of Uranium Mining Research Permits - Slovakia News - 06 May 08
"The Slovakia's Environment Ministry has allowed geological research into uranium deposits without considering village development plans or public opinion, Green Party vice-chairman Peter Novacik said. 'If uranium mining is permitted, 360 Slovak villages and towns inhabited by a million people will be in danger,' added Novacik. The Green Party recommends that the state should reject requests for research permits in the public interest."
"The Green Party criticises Slovak laws, which it claims are favourable towards foreign mining companies, and has asked for a new geological and mining law. According to the party, the state shouldn't disregard public opinion in the areas concerned. 'People have already voiced their disagreement with the mining of uranium in a petition, collecting 73,000 signatures. We want to reach the threshold of 100,000, as Slovakia's Parliament would be then obliged to deal with it,' said party chairman Pavol Petrik."
