Informationen zu Reaktorventillecks – kein Sicherheitsrisiko Das Energieunternehmen PreussenElektra hatte das Ministerium in der vergangenen Woche über ein „internes Ventilleck im Kernkraftwerk Isar 2“ informiert. Die Sicherheit ist nicht gefährdet. Gleichzeitig sagte der Betreiber, es seien keine Reparaturen nötig, wenn das Atomkraftwerk wie ursprünglich geplant Ende des Jahres abgeschaltet würde.

Menzies’ constituency is one of the worst affected by shale gas drilling, with seismic events in the Fylde, home to Cuadrilla’s Preston New Road site, twice prompting national moratoriums. “I think the Secretary of State has shale gas in his constituency,” he said. “It would be great for him to lead by example on this, so why doesn’t he ensure that the first shale wells are fracked in his constituency and why not?...

A new study says reduced access to HIV services during early COVID-19 restrictions in British Columbia was linked to a “surge” in HIV transmission among some drug users. The study by University of British Columbia researchers says that while reduced social interaction during the March-May 2020 lockdown worked to reduce HIV transmission, it may not have “compensated” for the increase caused by reduced access to services. The study, published in Lancet Regional Health, found that fewer people started antiretroviral treatment for HIV or had viral load tests under lockdown, while visits to overdose prevention services and safe drinking spaces also fell....

Governors. Ron DeSantis of Florida and Greg Abbott of Texas insist such dramatic steps are needed to highlight a real crisis at the US-Mexico border, where thousands of migrants enter the country illegally every day.
