wednesday may 31: radioactivists meeting
Caution - Radioactive: Turkey, Syria, Lebanon, Italy, Greece, Cyprus,
Egypt, Israel, Palestine, Jordan, Armenia, Albania ...
These are some of the places that could be devastated by radioactive
fallout, if an earthquake hits a nuclear plant proposed for Akkuyu Bay,
Turkey. The site is near the Ecemis fault, in one of the most seismically
active regions of the world. If an earthquake strikes a nuclear plant,
radioactive fallout could threaten the Middle East, southern Europe and
northern Africa. Thousands of people could develop cancer.
Do you want Atomic Energy of Canada Limited (AECL) to export nuclear
reactors to Turkey, with the help of $1.5 billion from Canadian taxpayers?
Or would you like to help stop another Chernobyl from happening?
Join the Radioactivists, and support environment-friendly alternatives
to nuclear energy.
