THE NUCLEAR ISSUE

ARE YOU READY TO SPEND R400 BILLION TO BE NUKED  Article 20-06-2007

Resources

Nuclear Energy - The Basics A must read.
Debunking Nuclear Myths  - Jan Willem Storm van Leeuwen and Philip Smith
Death threats, secrets and lies - Death threats, medical secrets, lies and payoffs are some of the menacing tactics power giant Eskom and nuclear fuel company NECSA use against its employees and others to keep a lid on the hazardous health effects of its nuclear technology.
Coalition of environment and health groups nuclear report  -  Warning, do not inhale air
Is Nuclear the answer?  The nuclear "debate" has taken off in Australia, but what needs to be reinforced is that nuclear power vs fossil fuels is a false dilemma.
ACF - Nuclear Free  -  Despite enormous community opposition to the nuclear industry in Australia, Europe and the US, weapons stockpiles continue to grow, nuclear waste dumps are overflowing, mines are still scarring the landscape, and casualties of radioactivity are on the rise.
FOE Anti-Nuclear  -  Friends of the Earth Australia is campaigning against uranium mining, the proposed nuclear waste dump in the Northern Territory, food irradiation, the nuclear 'research' reactor at Lucas Heights in Sydney, nuclear power and nuclear weapons.
Yes! to a Nuclear Free Australia  -  Nuclear power produces deadly radioactive waste that remains toxic to people and the environment for more than 250,000 years. After 50 years of the industry, there is no safe proven method of disposal for long-lived radioactive waste anywhere in the world.
WWF says nuclear no answer to climate change
Greenpeace - Nuclear power  -  Nuclear power is still as radioactive, dangerous and expensive as ever. And it is no solution to climate change.
