Nuclear Power

Honouring the Life and Work of Chiyo Nohara
Chiyo Nohara, who died aged 60, was member of the research team that published the first scientific evidence of harm to a living organism from radioactive contamination due to the accident at the Fukushima Daiichi Nuclear Power Plant

A Dangerous Nuclear White Elephant
The UK government is bound and determined to build a power station that even supporters of nuclear power say is far too expensive; meanwhile renewable energy generation is streaking ahead with flexible energy storage technologies making both fossil fuel and nuclear energy obsolete and redundant as well as dangerous
Prof Peter Saunders 5th October 2015

Spiralling Cost of Nuclear Power Station
The estimated cost of building the Hinkley Point C power station has risen more than 4-fold in just over 6 years since the UK Parliament voted in favour of it based on insufficient information and misleading estimates...

UK Government's Great Nuclear Blunder

Prof Peter Saunders 8th January 2014

Fukushima Crisis Goes Global
Massive radioactive leaks continue from the badly damaged structures as the dangerous operation of moving spent fuel rods begins, and still greater challenges of decommissioning the meltdown reactors yet to come; international help is urgently needed to stem the ongoing release of deadly radioactive isotopes and remediate the badly contaminated environment
Dr Mae Wan Ho 6th January 2014

The World Must Take Charge at Fukushima
Massive leakages of heavily contaminated water, crumbling structures, and spent fuels that if exposed to air could release 85 times as much lethal caesium as was released at Chernobyl are obvious reasons why urgent help is needed from the world’s top experts
Dr Mae Wan Ho 30th September 2013

Nuclear Subsidies Largesse by other Names
A new inquiry into energy subsidies has been launched by UK’s cross-party Environment Audit Committee [1], but will it uncover all that are to go into nuclear energy?

Announcing Death Camp Fukushima Chernobyl - an ISIS special report
The potential future for the Fukushima children victims is written starkly in the government birth and death registries of the heavily contaminated regions in the Chernobyl fallout: close to a million excess deaths, a doubling or tripling of general mortality rates.

Many of the deaths and sicknesses could have been avoided had governments not done their best to suppress the evidence from the start, aided and abetted by the nuclear lobby posing as regulators.

This report is a succinct account of the real evidence from scientists and doctors persecuted for telling the truth. A global phase out of nuclear power is in order, given that a combination of renewable energy options can provide all our energy needs safely, sustainably, and at much more affordable costs.

Fukushima Fallout Rivals Chernobyl
State-of-the-art analysis based on the most inclusive datasets available reveals that radioactive fallout from the Fukushima meltdown is at least as big as Chernobyl and more global in reach
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 11th June 2012

Apple Pectin for Radioprotection
A group of doctors and scientists risked their lives and careers to help children living in the most contaminated areas of the Chernobyl fallout and discovered a simple treatment that clears the radionuclides from their bodies, offering hope for future generations of Chernobyl and Fukushima victims
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 7th June 2012

Truth about Fukushima
The release of radioactivity from Fukushima is at least as great as from Chernobyl, and a humanitarian disaster on the scale of Chernobyl needs to be averted by acknowledging the truth and taking responsibility for mitigating measures
Dr. Mae-Wan Ho 5th June 2012

Bystander Effects Multiply Dose and Harm from Ionizing Radiation
Effects of radiation felt by non-radiated neighbouring cells prompt a rethink of radiation risk, radiotherapy and radioprotection

The True Costs of French Nuclear Power
Not only is French nuclear power nowhere near as safe as has been portrayed, it is also far from cost-effective, to put it mildly
Susie Greaves 23rd January 2012

French Nuclear Power Not Safe
French nuclear power is far from safe, and the government covered up effects of the Chernobyl disaster on French people
Susie Greaves 16th January 2012

Thorium the Answer to Clean Energy?
The Fukushima disaster has rekindled interest in thorium reactors, which may be both safer and more economical as their proponents claim, but do we need nuclear power at all?
Prof. Peter Saunders 14th September 2011

Fukushima Fallout
With the Fukushima crisis still running, many countries are shifting away from nuclear power. India and the UK, however, are still firmly committed

Lessons of Fukushima and Chernobyl
Chernobyl deaths many times the official figures and Fukushima not unanticipated
Prof. Peter Saunders 3rd May 2011

Fukushima Nuclear Crisis
Fukushima is just one among many similar disasters waiting to happen worldwide; governments and regulators have systematically downplayed the risks and hidden the real costs of nuclear power; there is no place for nuclear in a truly green energy portfolio; furthermore, there is a lot we can do to put the nuclear genie back into the bottle
