Some Flats data public - The Denver Post
U.S. District Judge Richard Matsch on Monday agreed to release some documents in a long-sealed case involving the Rocky Flats grand jury, but it was a hollow victory for jurors. Matsch ruled that court filings, memos and other ancillary information be released. But he kept a lid on the testimony of jurors who think the Justice Department undermined their 2 1/2-year criminal investigation and instead cut a deal for an $18.5 million fine against Rockwell International, the operator of the former nuclear weapons plant in Jefferson County.

Charlotte Observer | 04/29/2008 | Duke can keep nuclear costs secret
Duke Energy won't have to reveal the cost estimate for a proposed nuclear plant any time in the near future, North Carolina regulators ruled Tuesday. The N.C. Utilities Commission agreed with the Charlotte electric utility that the estimated cost of a proposed nuclear plant is a "trade secret" under N.C. law. Duke Energy officials argued in a public hearing that revealing the cost estimates now would give tactical advantage to vendors and contractors during sensitive negotiations.

American arrested as nuclear spy for Israel - Yahoo! News
WASHINGTON (Reuters) - The United States arrested an 84-year-old American on Tuesday suspected of giving Israel secrets on nuclear weapons, fighter jets and missiles in the 1980s, in a case linked to the Jonathan Pollard spy scandal that rocked U.S.-Israeli relations. The arrest of Ben-Ami Kadish indicates that Israeli spying revealed by the Pollard case, still an irritant to the U.S. alliance with Israel, may have spread wider than previously acknowledged.

Sibel Edmonds - A Snap Shot that Speaks Volumes
April 28, 2008 -- Syria, a member of George W. Bush’s “Axis of Evil”, is in the spotlight again as an alleged recipient of nuclear technology from North Korea and a potential producer of nuclear weapons. We have heard it all before but even if it is true, and let us assume it is true, there is more to this accusation than what meets the eye. We need to revisit what the courageous whistleblower, Sibel Edmonds, testified to behind closed doors in the Senate.

Charlotte Observer: Nuclear-cost secrecy fuels 2-state outcry
As the fight over nuclear energy shifts from safety to cost, timing the announcement of a multibillion-dollar expense takes on an increasingly strategic value to both sides. The estimated cost of new nuclear power plants has tripled, with projections now hitting $6 billion to $9 billion per reactor. Cost estimates are expected to continue escalating and make new nuclear power even harder to sell to a public that will ultimately pay for new plants through rate increases.

Russian Feud Goes to Court in London - New York Times
LONDON — A long-running feud between two of the richest post-Soviet entrepreneurs reached the High Court in London on Friday. The court began hearings on a $2 billion lawsuit by Boris Berezovsky, self-exiled in London since 2000, against Roman Abramovich. The two so-called oligarchs amassed fortunes in Russia during the privatization of state-owned assets in the 1990s, when the country’s first post-Soviet president, Boris Yeltsin, oversaw a large sell-off of the Soviet Union’s principal industries, including oil and gas.
