A group of IPPNW students and doctors from all over the world have thought of a fitting way to commemorate the first Fukushima memorial day: during the last six months, we have created a poster exhibition on the detrimental medical and environmental effects of the nuclear industry. The people affected by uranium mining that we heard from at the Basel Uranium Meeting, the downwinders of nuclear weapons testing, the survivors of the nuclear bombs in Hiroshima and Nagasaki, the victims of radioative contamination from nuclear facilities like La Hague, Sellafield, Mayak or Hanford and the people suffering from radiation exposure through nuclear catastrophes like Three Mile Island, Chernobyl or Fukushima - all of them have one thing in common: they would all be better off, if the uranium had simply been left in the ground. In a way, they are all survivors of the corrupt, powerful and unhealthy nuclear industry - they are all Hibakusha.
