to the re-launch of the newly designed blog “www.nuclearwaste.info”.

It was long overdue to question the previous format of our blog and to take the appropriate steps to adapt it. Now we welcome you all to the re-launch of the blog. With the relaunch of our information platform, we want to give our voice, which is independent from external interests, the necessary space again. On the one hand, to continue to question the disposal projects for nuclear (and other highly toxic) waste, and on the other hand, as a forum for the feedback from the readership. The fact that this is still urgently needed is shown not only by the developments in Switzerland but also in many other industrialized countries.

The changes to the blog are primarily of a formal nature: it makes our goals more clearly visible, separates background articles more clearly from factual articles, operates with better (and increasingly own) image material and organizes the contributions and the archive more clearly. A major change concerns the expansion of our blog into English: we will henceforth translate all our articles into English as well, in order to give more visible presence to the dissemination of our analyses abroad.

We enjoy continuing our “blogging” and wish you pleasant holidays, and a joyful new year!
