Nuclear dumps to run out of space by 2002, says report

Article Abstract:

There are serious problems with military waste management in the UK, according to a report produced following an investigation undertaken by Labour MP Alan Simpson and the Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament. In particular, difficulties have arisen as a result of the lack of a nuclear waste disposal strategy following the abandoning of plans for the Nirex deep-waste repository at Sellafield, England. There will be no more space to store radioactive by-products from the Trident nuclear programme at the Atomic Weapons Establishment in Aldermaston, England, from 2002.

UK firms suffer in Suharto fallout

Article Abstract:

The new Indonesian government is reviewing contracts connected with former President Suharto and his family and friends. This could create difficulties for UK companies involved in deals in Indonesia. A 225 million pounds sterling contract involving Thames Water and Suharto's eldest son has already been suspended, and the Indonesian government is now set to cancel a $625 million joint venture between UK construction concern Trafalgar House and Suharto's daughter.

A muddy deal in the name of the son

Article Abstract:

The Thames Water contract to supply half the citizens of Jakarta, Indonesia, which may now be abandoned by the new Indonesian government, was to have brought substantial benefits for Sigit Hardjojudanto, the oldest son of former President Suharto. Under the deal, he would have received 20% of profits for 25 years. The contract is a clear example of how the Suharto family managed to accumulate wealth at the expense of foreign investors and ordinary Indonesians.
