What is the N-BASE Information Service ?
The N-Base Information Service is now provided by Chris Bunyan, but previously was
provided by NENIG - the Northern European Nuclear Information
Group. NENIG was based in the Shetland Islands of Scotland
and provided information on the nuclear industry and its environmental
consequences, particularly reprocessing at Dounreay and Sellafield, nuclear
transports, waste production and storage, marine pollution and other related
issues. The service included:
- N-Base Database - a unique reference
source containing about 12,000 records of UK newspaper articles dating
from 1987.
- N-Base Briefings - up-to-date accurate
reports on the civil nuclear industry which are e-mailed to subscribers
every 7-10 days.
NENIG members were Sanne Bruyne, Chris Bunyan, Alistair Easton, and Rose Young. Its income came from subscriptions to the N-Base Briefings together with a few donations and grant aid from Shetland Islands Council. Funding was extremely limited and greatly restricted the ability to improve and widen the information services.
- The perspective of Europe from Shetland looks very different.
