Our Activities against Nuclear Energy

In addition to its fight against nuclear weapons, IPPNW has realized the connection between nuclear energy and nuclear war. Nuclear power powers the bomb! That is why we as medical students should inform the public about the grave health impacts nuclear energy poses to world health and how nuclear energy paves the way for nuclear weapons.

IPPNW Statements and educational web brochures on nuclear energy:

• Arguments against nuclear energy: Educate yourself about why nuclear energy is not the answer. Written by former international student representative Alex Rosen.


• Facts on nuclear energy: Find out more about nuclear energy in your language of choice. There are slide shows and text files available on this IPPNW site.


• Appeal against nuclear energy: Read Ron McCoy's appeal against nuclear energy.


• The ongoing health effects of Chernobyl: Learn about the lasting effects of the 1986 meltdown of the Chernobyl power plant. Also written by former international student representative Alex Rosen.
