"Uranium is the raw material of a power-elite who has taken Mother Earth's every living creature hostage."
The Late Petra Kelly, Founder of the Green Party

We should not be building or refurbishing any more nuclear reactors for the following reasons:

Nuclear waste is the only product of all nuclear reactors.

Nuclear waste is destructive of all living things.

The Nuclear industry does not know how to undo the nuclear waste they produce.

Nuclear waste lasts virtually forever and will also require management for as long as it lasts.

Nuclear waste cannot be buried and forgotten. It will destroy any material containment. It will require perpetual management.
The Nuclear waste stored at Fukushima has gone critical and defies all efforts to contain and manage it. It continues to be released into our biosphere now and is poisoning every living thing it encounters.
Nuclear warheads are fashioned from the nuclear waste produced in nuclear reactors.
Greed for profit is the main motive that drives the nuclear industry.
