CADU in Hiroshima For 60th Bomb Anniverary

CADU’s Rae Street was in Hiroshima for the World Conference Against the A and H Bombs, it was a useful opportunity for her to meet with our Japanese ICBUW members.

‘’The NODU Hiroshima Project met on the afternoon of the 6th August with about 80 people in the audience from different regions throughout Japan. But at all the meetings I attended, there were questions about DU munitions and strong support for working on a ban. Radiological weapons have a strong resonance in a country where so many suffered so deeply from those fateful explosions 60 years ago. At the international meetings, anti-nuclear activists were keen to link up with, for example, uranium mining areas in Australia and with those who have suffered from the affects of uranium mining in the past. For example, native Americans such as the Navajo from New Mexico.’’
