Nuclear power-fun with Urenco's Richie Enrichment
From 23 to 25 of March the Netherlands is under the spell of the NSS, the Nuclear Security Summit. As a side-event to the NSS, Urenco Ltd. organises in Amsterdam the NIS, the Nuclear Industry Summit. With organising the NIS, Urenco wants to wipe their slate clean of any allegations on proliferation in the slipstream of possible goodwill for the NSS.
As proliferation is the core business of the nuclear industry, its not the first time they're busy cleaning slate; An anti-nuclear activist pointed our attention towards a previous PR-attempt by Urenco: Richie Enrichment.
In order to prepare for the NIS and to demonstrate the awkwardness of much nuclear 'green'wash, we have turned Urenco's Richie-website into a quiz. With this quiz, cyberactivists can get used to the looks and feel of nuclear spin. And it isn't only fun and laughter, it also provides some psychological self-defence for anti-nuclear activists who'll be bombarded with an overload of nuclear PR during the NSS/NIS.
On Monday March 24, during the opening of the NIS, Laka and others organise an anti-nuclear picket-line at the Beursplein in Amsterdam, under the slogan "NUCLEAR BUSINESS = NUCLEAR PROLIFERATION"
Join us! More information (for the moment in Dutch) you'll find on stopkernenergie.nl (rsvp).
The quiz has ended
On Monday March 24, at 9:30, during the picket-line at the Beursplein, Huub Rakhorst, director of Urenco Ltd., will announce the winner of the quiz (tbc).
The winner of the Amazing Richie Enrichment Nuclear Knowledge-quiz can (on his or her own expense) go with the merry-go-round during Kingsday-celebrations on Dam-square.
