A decade after Snowden exposed NSA’s mass surveillance in cooperation with the British GCHQ, only about 1 percent of the documents have been published, but three major facts can finally be revealed thanks to a doctoral thesis in applied cryptography by Jacob Appelbaum.

I plan to start making my articles bilingual and start printing out bilingual zines.

What else can we do to alleviate this problem?

Is anyone apart of an org here?

Give your thoughts down below.

In past negotiation cycles, the UAW has chosen one of the Big Three legacy automakers (Ford, General Motors, and Stellantis) as a strike target, picking the company the union believed would agree to the best deal in order to set a pattern for the remaining two.

This time, the UAW has broken from this practice — UAW president Shawn Fain has said all three companies are targets, leaving the companies guessing.

https://sputnikglobe.com/20230728/russias-rosatom-to-create-nuclear-power-fleet-for-africa-1112221153.html Russia's Rosatom to Create Nuclear Power Fleet for Africa — Russian state nuclear corporation Rosatom proposes to create nuclear power fleet for Africa to supply the continent with electricity, Rosatom's head, Alexey Likhachev, said on Friday.

US/EU nuclear industries get ~12/20% of their nuclear fuel from Rosatom. The U.S. and its European allies are importing vast amounts of nuclear fuel and compounds from Russia, providing Moscow with hundreds of millions of dollars in badly needed revenue as it wages war on Ukraine. The sales, which are legal and unsanctioned, have raised alarms from nonproliferation experts and elected officials who say the imports are helping to bankroll the development of Moscow’s nuclear arsenal and are complicating efforts to curtail Russia’s war-making abilities.

Russia’s energy strategy for the period up to 2030, which was adopted in 2009, provides for an increase in electricity production at nuclear power plants to 356-437 billion kWh per year. So, at the moment, active construction work is underway in Russia on several such objects:

Kursk NPP 2 2️⃣✌️😈 — This plant is being built to replace four decommissioned generator sets of the operating Kursk NPP, due to the depletion of their resources (in 2021, the first of them was been decommissioned). The last one should close in 2030. The new power plant project includes four VVER-TOI type reactors. Last year, the reactor vessel of power unit No. 1 of the Kursk-2 nuclear power plant was brought to the design position. In addition, the construction of an evaporative cooling tower with a height of 179 meters was completed, which became the highest in our country. It is assumed that the last of the planned power units will be commissioned by 2029.

Leningrad nuclear power plant 2 2️⃣✌️😈 — The appearance of this power plant is associated with the gradual dismantling of four power units of the Leningrad nuclear power plant. The launch of the first power unit and its inclusion in the unified energy system of Russia took place on March 9, 2018, the second on October 22, 2020. Last summer, preparatory work began at the construction site of 3 units and 4. The commissioning of two new power units is planned for 2030 and 2032, respectively.

“BREST-OD – 300” in Seversk (Tomsk region) 🤯 — As part of this project, a nuclear power plant with an innovative fast neutron reactor “BREST-OD – 300” is being built. As the facility is built, a nuclear power plant with a fast neutron reactor and an on-site closed nuclear fuel cycle should appear at the site selected during the design. Rosatom plans to launch a new power unit in 2029. More details: https://www.neimagazine.com/news/newsrosatom-begins-construction-of-lead-cooled-brest-fast-reactor-8810811 😈⚛️♻️⏪▶️ The reactor will run on mixed uranium-plutonium nitride (MNUP) fuel, specially developed for this facility. ODEK comprises three interconnected facilities - a nuclear fuel production plant (for fabrication and refabrication), the BREST-OD-300 power unit, and a facility for irradiated fuel reprocessing. The reactor will be supported by closed nuclear fuel cycle servicing enterprises on a single site. After reprocessing, the irradiated fuel from the reactor will be sent for refabrication as fresh fuel.
