Let’s act together against nuclear power – Support the Belrad Institute

Around April 26, 2010 many actions will be organised both in France and abroad. Every year Chernobyl Day highlights the health disaster which Belarus has been enduring for 24 years.
This year we are supporting the Belrad Institute, the only independent scientific organisation to provide assistance to irradiated children. In Belarus, four out of five children are contaminated by the radiation resulting from Tchernobyl.

The whole area is durably contaminated. The radioactivity is invisible but it will remain lethal for many generations.
For 24 years, the international authorities, and particularly the World Health Organization (WHO), have been incapable of responding to the needs of the affected people. The disaster continues.

Without any public support, Belrad measures the radioactivity in humans and prescribes treatments that eliminate 30 to 70% of contaminants within three weeks. Though vital, this treatment is not the perfect solution and should not serve as an excuse (for the rest of the world??) not to deal with the consequences of the catastrophe on the population and the environment, today and in the future. For more details, see http://enfants-tchernobyl-belarus.org

Twenty four years after the Tchernobyl catastrophe, many of us intend to participate in order to denounce the lack of official response, to help the victims, to reject the plans for a nuclear revival and the massive risks nuclear industry imposes on humanity.

> Register your actions in the agenda. It is great if you organize something related to Belrad, but any kind of action against nuclear power is welcome.

Please spread this information as widely as possible. A complementary action will take place in Paris, between April 27 and May 7; it will be directed against nuclear weapons.
