Society, Environment and Human Security in the Arctic Barents Region Society, Environment and Human Security in the Arctic Barents Region The Arctic-Barents Region is facing numerous pressures from a variety of sources, including the effect of environmental changes and extractive industrial developments. The threats arising out of these pressures result in human security challenges. This book analyses the formation, and promotion, of societal security within the context of the Arctic-Barents Region. It applies the human security framework, which has increasingly gained currency at the UN level since 1994 (UNDP), as a tool to provide answers to many questions that face the Barents population today. The study explores human security dimensions such as environmental security, economic security, health, food, water, energy, communities, political security and digital security in order to assess the current challenges that the Barents population experiences today or may encounter in the future. In doing so, the book develops a comprehensive analysis of vulnerabilities, challenges and needs in the Barents Region and provides recommendations for new strategies to tackle insecurity and improve the wellbeing of both indigenous and local communities. This book will be a valuable tool for academics, policy-makers and students interested in environmental and human security, sustainable development, environmental studies and the Arctic and Barents Region in particular.

  • Tacora Resources Inc. Completes Acquisition of Sydvaranger
    Tacora Resources Inc. 102 NE 3rd Street Suite 120 Grand Rapids, MN 55744 Tel: +1 218-999-7018 NEWS RELEASE ______________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE Tacora Resources Inc. Completes Acquisition of Sydvaranger GRAND RAPIDS, MN, January 14, 2021 – Tacora Resources Inc. (“Tacora” or the “Company”) today announced that it has completed the acquisition of Sydvaranger Mining AS and its subsidiaries (“Sydvaranger”), an iron ore mine and processing plant located in Sør-Varanger, Norway. The acquisition of Sydvaranger provides Tacora with a 4 million tonne per year shovel-ready expansion opportunity and geographical diversification in a tier 1 jurisdiction. Sydvaranger operated from 1910 to 1997, and then from 2009 to 2015 producing high grade iron ore concentrate, with an iron content of 68%, for pelletizing operations. The Tschudi Group, a Norwegian shipping and logistics company, has been involved with the Sydvaranger Mine since 2006. In 2016, the Tschudi Group re-acquired the Sydvaranger assets and has since focused its activities on completing a feasibility study and preparing for restarting the operations. Sydvaranger’s high quality, low impurity, magnetite iron ore concentrate has significant environmental and cost benefits for steel producers and pelletizing operations, including increased blast furnace productivity, reduced slag volumes, lower CO2 emissions per tonne of steel produced and reduced energy requirements for pelletizing, amongst others. Thierry Martel, the President and CEO of Tacora

  • The Tschudi Group Divests Sydvaranger to Tacora Resources Inc
    NEWS RELEASE ______________________________________________________________ FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE The Tschudi Group Divests Sydvaranger to Tacora Resources Inc. OSLO, NORWAY, January 14, 2021 The Tschudi Group today announced that it has completed the sale of Sydvaranger Mining AS and its subsidiaries -Varanger, Norway, to Tacora Resources Inc -based iron ore mining and mineral processing company focused on high-grad iron ore commodities. Tacora recommenced operations after five years closure in June 2019 at the Scully Mine, a 6 million tonne per year iron ore concentrate producer, after its acquisition of the mine in 2017. Sydvaranger operated from 1910 to 1997, and then from 2009 to 2015 producing high grade iron ore concentrate, with an iron content of 68%, for pelletizing operations. The Tschudi Group, a Norwegian shipping and logistics company, has been involved with the Sydvaranger Mine since 2006. In 2016, the Tschudi Group re-acquired the Sydvaranger assets and has since focused its activities on completing a feasibility study and preparing ore concentrate has significant environmental and cost benefits for steel producers and pelletizing operations, including increased blast furnace productivity, reduced slag volumes, lower CO2 emissions per tonne of steel produced and reduced energy requirements for pelletizing, amongst others. The recent Definitive Feasibility Study confirmed a potential for a 4 million tonne pear year iron ore concentrate production. welcome Tacora as the new owners of Sydvaranger. Since 2016, the Tschudi Group has sought to provide Sydvaranger with the financial and operational capabilities to enable a restart of the mining operations. By introducing Orion Mine Finance as a financial partner in 2018 and by now combining Sydvaranger with the operationally experienced Tacora team, we believe Sydvaranger is in an excellent position to succeed with a restart.

  • The Norwegian Contributionthe
    THE NORWEGIAN CONTRIBUTION THE CONTRIBUTION NORWEGIAN THE NORWEGIAN CONTRIBUTION The International Polar Year 2007-2008 (IPY) was one of the largest coordinated research program- mes ever implemented. Through intensive observation and data collection over the course of a two-year period the programme has laid the foundation for studies that will improve our knowledge of the Arctic and the Antarctic in the decades to come. One key topic was the significance of the polar regions for global climate. IPY was also innovative in the way it linked research with educa- tion, outreach and communication. Norway was a major contributor to IPY. This book summari- ses the results and presents the preliminary scientific findings of the Norwegian IPY programme.

  • EPR (Nuclear Reactor)
    EPR (nuclear reactor) Computer generated view of an EPR power plant The EPR is a third generation pressurized water reac- tor (PWR) design. It has been designed and developed mainly by Framatome (now Areva NP) and Électricité de France (EDF) in France, and Siemens in Germany. In Europe this reactor design was called European Pres- surized Reactor, and the internationalized name was Evolutionary Power Reactor, but it is now simply named EPR by Areva. Four EPR units are under construction. The first two, in Finland and France, are both facing costly construction delays (to at least 2018). Construction commenced on two Chinese units in 2009 and 2010.[1] The Chinese units were to start operation in 2014 and 2015,[2] but are now expected to come online in 2016 and 2017.[3] 1 Design The main design objectives of the third generation EPR design are increased safety while providing enhanced economic competitiveness through improvements to pre- vious PWR designs scaled up to an electrical power out- put of around 1650 MWe (net)[4] with thermal power 4500 MWt. The reactor can use 5% enriched uranium oxide fuel, reprocessed uranium fuel and 100% mixed uranium plutonium oxide fuel. The EPR is the evolution- ary descendant of the Framatome N4 and Siemens Power Reactor pressure vessel of the EPR Generation Division “Konvoi” reactors.[5][6] The EPR design has several active and passive protection continues for 1 to 3 years after the reactor’s initial measures against accidents: shutdown (i.e., 300% redundancy) • Leaktight containment around the reactor

Kaivokset sijoittuvat pääsääntöisesti Pohjois- ja Itä-Suomeen. Teolli- suusmineraaleja louhittiin vuonna 2011 noin 30 kaivoksessa tai louhoksessa. Sekä metalli- että teollisuusmineraaleja tuottavien kaivosten tuotteet päätyvät pääsään- töisesti kotimaiseen jatkojalostukseen. Suomen malmivarannoista on kiinnostunut yli 30 toimivaa kaivosyhtiötä. Pohjoiseen ja itäiseen Suomeen on suunnitteilla useita uusia kaivoksia ja nykyisten kaivosten tuotannon laajennuksia. Jos suunnitelmat to- teutuvat, nykyiset kaivoskuljetusmäärät tulevat moninkertaistumaan. Kaivosalan tulevaisuutta leimaa epävarmuus Euroopan ja muun maailman talouden kehityksestä. Kaivostoiminnan ennustettavuus on vähentynyt ja toimintaan liittyvät riskit ovat viime vuosina kasvaneet. Kaivosteollisuuden pitkän aikavälin odotukset ovat kuitenkin edelleen hyvin positiiviset. Väestönkasvu, kehittyvien talouksien ky- synnän kasvu ja kaupungistuminen lisäävät erilaisten metallien ja mineraalien kysyn- tää. Kysyntään vaikuttavat vahvasti etenkin Kiinan ja kehittyvien maiden talouksien kasvu, mutta myös taloustilanne Euroopassa. Euroopan unionin raaka-ainepolitiikan mukaan tavoitteena on vahvistaa EU:n sisällä
