Liziwe McDaid
We need to meet early in the year
because our new minister of energy is
meeting the Russuans in Dubai
Money from the RE tariff
being used for nuclear
Agenda EIA
Now we are in the
appeal process
We can appeal to the Minister
if the Environment
[We should also appeal to the Minister
if Finance, Education, etc]

And what issues
were in your mind?
Shirley Walters
Koeberg Alert Alliance
Problems
Corruption
Zuma & the
nuclear deal
He wants the energy Minister to
remain after he leaves
Social
“Empowering myself”Gangsterism
Unemployment
Job creation
Education centres
Education
Safety
Eg laptops on
the bus or taxi
Infrastructure
Water
Water meters
Day Zero
Food
Karoo lamb
Water tanks and gardens in peoples
homes in the Eastern Cape
Energy
Environmental
Anti nuclear
Shacks
It’s a failure
How to get faith leaders involved
in environmental issues
Public water Taps
are switched off
Alresdy causing fights in the heat at
railway stations, eg Muizenberg
Struggles
Have we looked at
peoples struggles
How can we mobilize
around water and nuclear?
We have lost our “defiance
campaign” nature
We don’t have the
proper resources

Concern about a change from
nuclear to water focus
Chemical engineering
Interesting for me
People are against
desalination
Look at Eskom’s 1989
nuclear documentWe need
The names of the
activists & active citizens
To learn how to
access information
To connect the
campaigns
And to realize that
energy is a big subject
Including
Water, Electricity,
Food, Protein, Sun, Wind, Water
When you present to Eg Nersa,
you need to show that you
represent a bunch of people
Violence Prevention Through Urban
Upgrading Michael Graaf
Points in [] are mine
Part 2
Status
Of the nuclear
campaign
Nuclear waste sites
Broken drums
Mines using poverty to
create more poverty
Eg using old mines as nuclear
waste dumping sites
Kamiesberg area
And none of the promised local
infrastructure projects have
materialized, Eg schools, clinics, etc
Look at the downstream water use from
mining and waste dumping
Stop nuclear dumping because
this stops nuclear build
Appeals strategy
“Anti” movements
[We need “pro”
movements]
Engagement
Watch out for corporate engagement
without people involvement
Mobilization
What does p it mean and
what is effective
Rural and
Community
Outreach
Media
The Constitution How does it protect us?
Look at the experience
that is in this room
Talks
Natasha
Media
Engagement
Strategy
Public speak out
March
The “no
confidence”
march
Newsworthy items
around the issue
What goes against the
Constitution and your rights
Let people know about the
alternatives to nuclear
Decentralized options
like wind and solar
Tools
Press releases
Give accurate.
Quality information
Things you are doing in
Your community
Names of
community
members
What they are doing and
why they are doing it
Let the media know
longer in advance
Using online Anniversaries
Eg 10th anniversary
of Fukushima
Social media
Most popular are Facebook & Twitter,
accessible by mobile phone
Using
complementary
things
Eg
Eg budget speach
Big events
Eskom price hike
announcements
Visual media channels
Banners & Placards
Means you don’t
need T-shirts
SABC
Wattsapp groups
Pamphlets At least three
languages
Mobile flyers
Radio
Voice notes, ready
and prepared
Remember
There is always
bigger news!
Events
Make sure you
invite the media
Part 3: Deepen Our
Understanding
Instructions
For
Discussion
Eg Nersa
How do we work
with them?
How do we
appeal to them?
What is? NERSA
National Electricity-Price Rubber
Stamping Association
Presentation 1 Liziwe
What sort of
choice is nuclear?
Energy choice
Electricity prices
Sustainability
Plus
Least damage
Your creditors own you
Reduce or
eliminate your
riskHalf life of Depleted
Uranium 40billion years
Robberies of
radioactive metals
“Government
says it’s safe”
What do you say?
40 seconds
exposure is
enough
Environmental
Economic financial
Social jobs
[Just a reminder that is is the jobs because of the
Electricity not the jobs in the Electricity
production, which will be automatic]
IGA
Inter-Governmental
Agreement
Presentation 2
By Peter Becker Deception
EIA
Started in 2007
Final report submitted in 2016 to the
Department of Environment
Scientific Report said Thyspunt
Approved end of 2017
Read the Authorisation
and the listed activity
Be careful of
“disposal” vs “storage”
Disposal is permanentStorage is temporary
Page 6.1b
See if any “key
findings” are false
Eg re “base load”
Appeal
[My ideas]
[Supplier must insure the
construction and maintenance]
[Supplier country must provide surety for any
accident and provide finance and space for people to
move there should The need arise]
[Supplier must pay 100% for the
construction and the client will pay a
kWh price for the Electricity]
Waste disposal
Not in the EIA
Because Waste will
be taken off site
The process is
incremental approval
Which is hugely damaging in an
environmental sense
And leaking in the “short”term, 1000
years. Concrete containment
designed to last 100years
Can it be recycled?
It can be reprocessed but never
completely recycled into inert matter
Evacuation
How will this happen?
Where do we go?
Gridlock
Sports fields
Community halls
Are there iodine
tablets available?
Children at school?
Part of an after lunch discussion about transport
in groups from different suburbs of Cape Town
and Regions of South Africa
What’s wrong with it
being here now?
NNR
National
Nuclear
Regulator
Site safety report,
including a seismic report
Check the methodology
And the methodology has
changed since the first reports
done when Koeberg was built
Address the 1 in
100 scenario
The NNR must keep a list of
incidents, Eg in Vaalputs in
the Northern Cape
They should be
present at the ports
Ideas
Approach advocate
Paul Hoffman
Walk around Pick n Pay and
the Sushi Restaurant with a
Geiger Counter
Eg fish that is rejected as being radioactive in Japan
might be sent to South Africa, which doesn’t check,
and it might end up as Sushi
You also need a
beckerel counter
The acquirer is
partly radioactive
Tritium in the water
near Koeberg
