Alice in Nuclear Blunderland

Chernobyl certificate No 000358

Being a victim of the Chernobyl disaster means more than just a number. Often it's a lifetime of suffering due to a dirty, dangerous industry still being promoted with your tax money.

Nukes, Iran, the UN: a grave mistake

Somewhere out there, the only winners in the current conflict over Iran's nuclear programme are rubbing their hands with glee. They love hearing about the "inalienable right" to build nuclear power plants. They love watching nuclear superpowers try to bully non-nuclear states into agreeing not to develop nukes, yet fail to explain why they themselves haven't gotten rid of theirs. They love seeing nuclear weapons being presented as the measure of a country's greatness. That's because the only winners in this conflict sell the stuff that makes all this war drumming possible. They sell nuclear power plants. They build nuclear weapons.
