'Solar Rollers' hit the road against Yankee - Bennington Banner

Fri, 15 Aug 2008 06:44:34 -0000

With the Vermont Legislature set to vote on Vermont Yankee's future next year, groups opposing the nuclear power plant's relicensing are more active than ever.

On Monday, the "Solar Rollers" coasted down Route 9 into Bennington after a grueling ride from Brattleboro.

Thirty years after their first bike ride to oppose nuclear power, Tom Wilson and David Detmold, both from Massachusetts, are riding through Vermont, along with others, in opposition of nuclear power, and additional years for Vermont's lone plant, which is owned by Entergy. The duo founded the group in 1978 to oppose the construction of a nuclear power plant in Seabrook, Mass.

The issue before the board, meeting inside the quaint Windham County Superior Court building, was whether the Vermont Yankee nuclear power plant is ready and able to deal with aging component problems should the facility win permission to stay in operation until 2032.

Mairead Corrigan-Maguire: Let Mordechai Vanunu go | Comment is free | guardian.co.uk

Fri, 11 Jul 2008 08:39:16 -0000

In 1986, a young Israeli man called Mordechai Vanunu followed his conscience and told the world that Israel had a nuclear weapons programme. He was convicted of espionage and treason and sentenced to 18 years in prison. After serving this (12 years of which were in solitary confinement), Vanunu was released. In April 2004, about 80 people from around the world went to welcome him out of prison. Unbelievably, upon his release Vanunu was made subject to severe restrictions, which forbade him many basic civil liberties (including his right to leave Israel, to speak to foreigners and foreign media) and restricted his travel within Israel.

The new nuclear abolitionists | Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists

Fri, 30 May 2008 22:13:23 -0000

Twenty-five years ago, the Nuclear Freeze campaign mobilized hundreds of thousands of Americans to demand an end to the testing, production, and deployment of new nuclear weapons. At that time, advocating the complete abolition of nuclear weapons was a fringe position confined to a few utopians on the left. Even most antinuclear activists struggled getting past the "you can't put the genie back in the bottle" common sense of pundits and arms control experts.
