Stop India-Japan Nuclear Agreement: An International Appeal Please sign and circulate this appeal to your friends. This appeal will be released during the Indian Prime Minister’s visit to Tokyo on May 29th. THANKS! Endorsments can also be sent to [email protected] directly. Stop India-Japan Nuclear Agreement, Stop Nuclear Export Policy
We, the undersigned, are concerned citizens of the world and we write this in support of the people in India and Japan. We stand in complete opposition to the India-Japan nuclear cooperation agreement that is currently under intense negotiation. The governments of both countries must refrain from promoting nuclear commerce, jeopardising the health and safety of their people and environments. The Fukushima accident in Japan should provide an eye-opener to the Indian government and it must realise that cooperation in/supply of nuclear technology comes with insurmountable safety risks. Nuclear accidents result in totally unacceptable damages to people and the environment. Even more than two years after the accident in Fukushima the reactors are far from being under control and massive radioactive releases have contaminated the ground, air and water, contaminations that coming generations will have to endure even after it has taken its toll on the current generation. The criminal nexus of the nuclear Industry and policy makers now stands exposed. India must behave responsibly and should rethink its use of nuclear energy. Nuclear energy currently provides less than 3% of its total electricity and can be easily replaced, freeing the country to embrace renewable and sustainable alternatives. Japan must refrain from exporting nuclear technology to other countries, especially non-signatories of the NPT and CTBT. The current policy option of exporting nuclear energy to countries like India, Vietnam, Jordan etc… are totally unjust while Japan is reeling under the huge financial losses posed by the Fukushima accident and its citizens are observing massive protests to demand a nuclear-free future and the victims of the triple meltdowns remain uncompensated. For the children, women and coming generations of India and Japan, and of the planet as a whole, we demand a moratorium on Japan’s nuclear export policy and the termination of India-Japan civil nuclear negotiations with immediate effect.
