Nuclear Power Is Not The Answer by Helen Caldicott

Trained as a physician, and--after four decades of antinuclear activism--thoroughly versed in the science of nuclear energy, the bestselling author of Nuclear Madness turns her attention from nuclear bombs to nuclear lightbulbs. As she makes meticulously clear in this work, the world cannot withstand either.
Helen Caldicott has been my inspiration to speak out- MERYL STREEP Dr. Helen Caldicott has the rare ability to combine science with passion, logic with love, and urgency with humour. - NAOMI KLEIN

In 2001 she founded the Nuclear Policy Research Institute, which later became Beyond Nuclear, in Washington, D.C.
