Unfortunately, right now when alternative news on nuclear issues is needed more than ever, our international website, nuclear-news.net is not available. This is due to a domain name problem, which I hope will soon be fixed. Nuclear-news.net has, for over 12 years, been gathering together those few news items that show the ‘other side’ of nuclear news – in a media landscape dominated by glossy spin from the nuclear lobby – regurgitated by the corporate media.
Indeed – right now – it borders on the hilariously funny – as corporate media pushes nuclear power as safe and clean, while Ukraine, Belarus, even Europe anxiously fear catastrophe at Zaporizhia.
