Editorial

MARCH 1st marked the60th anniversary of

‘Castle Bravo’, the detonationof the world’s first hydrogenbomb by the US in the Pacific.The resulting explosion wasmuch greater than expectedand fall-out from the shatteredcoral atoll fell on theunsuspecting islanders ofRongelap and Utrik and spreadaround the world. The Pacificislanders’ homeland waspolluted and the populationsuffered severe healthproblems, including birthdefects. The US and Japanesegovernments’ reactions were todeny there were any problems. Since then, nuclear incidents

at Three Mile Island, Chernobyland Fukushima (the three yearanniversary of which CNDcommemorated last month)have resulted in similar official

Nuclear casualtiesdenials. The fact that thousandsof people living near the nuclearpower accidents at Chernobyland Fukushima have had toleave their homes has receivedlittle attention in the media. Here in the UK, we have

been told not to worry aboutthe recent disclosure that radio -activity was found in the coolingwaters of a nuclear submarinetest reactor in Scotland. The development of nuclear

technology has sadly resulted incasualties and continues to doso. We should not forget thevictims of deadly uraniummining and processing, thedisplaced and forgotten peoplesof the Pacific or the safetyincidents that eventually come

to light at sites such asAldermaston. This is one of thereasons CND campaigns againstnuclear weapons.In this issue of Campaign you

International disarmament

WITH the nuclear weaponstates currently on

standstill on disarmament issues,little is realistically expectedfrom them at the next meetingof the Nuclear Non-Prolifera -tion Treaty (NPT) PreparatoryCommittee in New York at theend of April. The NPT requiresthat review conferences are heldevery five years, with pre-meetings such as this one heldthree years prior to each one.The NPT is an international

treaty signed by 189 countries.It commits its signatories toeither not develop nuclearweapons if they haven’t already,or to work towards disarma -ment if they do possess them.The agreement from the lastreview conference in 2010called on the nuclear weaponstates to ‘undertake furtherefforts to reduce and ultimatelyeliminate all types of nuclearweapons’ and ‘further diminishthe role and significance ofnuclear weapons in all militaryand security concepts, doctrinesand policies’. Not much progress has

been made in these objectives

especially by the UK govern -ment, who, by replacingTrident, is putting nuclearweapons at the heart of itsdefence policy.Non-nuclear weapon states

are fed-up with waiting for thenuclear weapon states to disarmand are taking the initiativethemselves. 132 governmentsattended a conference in Oslolast year to discuss the humani -tarian impacts of nuclearweapons, the follow-upconference in Nayarit, Mexicoattracted 146 states. CND VicePresident Dr Rebecca Johnson,was at the event. She says:‘CND, as an ICAN

partner, participated in theNayarit Conference andapplauded its conclusions. Wecall on the UK government toparticipate in the nextconference, which Austria willconvene later this year. It isclear that under standing theglobal humani tarianconsequences of nuclearweapons should impelgovern ments to a new legallybinding treaty that wouldstigmatise and prohibit all

nuclear weapons and accel -erate their total elimination.’The meeting in Austria could

lead to concrete steps towardsestablishing a new treaty thatwould make nuclear weaponsillegal. The UK government isrefusing to engage in theprocess as they say the NPT isthe only appropriate instrumentfor disarmament. But the NPTis dependent on the will of thenuclear weapon states, which donot seem in any hurry to get ridof their nuclear weapons. Allfive legally recognised nuclearstates are either deploying newnuclear weapons and deliverysystems or plan to do so. No wonder the non-nuclear

weapon states have decided it’sup to them to get thingsmoving.

THE RETHINK TRIDENTcampaign has relaunched!

Along with the other initiatingorgan isa tions – the CWU, Waron Want, Pax Christi, andScientists for GlobalResponsibility – CND isworking to build a broad,unified, civil society oppositionto Trident replace ment over thenext two years.Celebrity signatories already

include Annie Lennox, ThomYorke, Vivienne Westwood andOwen Jones. The number ofMembers of Parliament whohave signed the statement is 22and rising. Many trade unions,including the FBU and theRMT, are already on board,along with organisations such asPeople and Planet, Compass,The Joint Public Issues Teamand Quaker Peace and SocialWitness.

Rethink Trident will becampaigning ahead of 2016when Parliament is expected todebate and vote on whether ornot to replace Trident with anew generation of nuclearweapons. This decision willdetermine whether Britain willproceed with spending over£100 billion on immoral, illegal,strategically redundant nuclearweapons at a time of economiccrisis, public service spendingcuts, and increasing internationalpressure for nuclear abolition.Back in 2006, CND spear -

headed the original RethinkTrident campaign whichopposed the government’s drivetowards Trident replacement in akey parliamentary vote in March2007. This campaign saw100,000 people take to thestreets and prompted the biggestbackbench rebellion on a

domestic issue since 1924. Aweek before the vote, anopinion poll showed 72% of theBritish public disagreed with thegovernment on Tridentreplacement.CND, along with its partners,

believes that to proceed withTrident replace ment would bemadness both economically andmorally. We will be building onexisting widespread anti-Tridentsentiment that is strengtheningthrough out society, as shown bythe Trade Union Congress’adoption of the following policymotion last September: ‘Publicfinances can also be improvedby addressing tax avoidance andscrapping the replacement ofTrident’.

AS THE GOVERNMENTploughs ahead with major

Cold War-era militaryprogrammes, including theTrident replacementsubmarines, aircraft carriers andnew fighter jets, the launch ofNET’s new report The UK’sDefence Needs and InternationalNuclear DisarmamentResponsibilities demonstrated thegrowth in critical thinking fromacross the political spectrum onthe UK’s defence and securitypriorities.Labour’s Margaret Beckett,

the Lib Dems’ Nick Harvey andConservative chair of theCommons Defence CommitteeJames Arbuthnot were joinedby a host of MPs and Peers atthe launch of the report, withmost questioning whetherTrident really suited the UK’smodern security needs. There was widespread

agreement that any decision onTrident replacement should bedelayed until after the GeneralElection and the publication ofa new Strategic Defence andSecurity Review. The launch closely followed

the publication of a DefenceCommittee report which said,

‘the 2010 Strategic Defence andSecurity Review and the 2010National Security Strategy weregoverned by the overridingstrategic objective of reducingthe UK’s budget deficit. Wehave found it difficult to divineany other genuinely strategicvision in either document’.Jeremy Corbyn has since

tabled EDM 1190 urging theTrident replacement Main Gatedecision to be delayed until afterthe next Defence Review.CND launched our own

report, People not Trident: theeconomic case against Tridentreplacement as part of Budgetweek. The report details how£100 billion could be spent inareas such as education, health

and energy. An astounding £6.6million a day is currently spenton nuclear weapons in the UK –money that could pay for newschools, housing and apprentice -ships. As well as having animmediate improve ment onpeople’s lives, the report showsthat these kind of economicinvestments have a far betterlong-term impact than spendingon nuclear weapons. The report,with an introduction byeconomist Michael Burke, isavailable on CND’s website.As questions grow amongst

senior politicians and evidence ofthe unjustifiable cost of replace -ment mounts up, we mustredouble our campaigning toscrap Trident completely.

Ben Folley, CND’s Parliamentary Officer, describes how two newreports are contributing to the disarmament debate.

IN THE RUN-UP to anexpected vote in parliament in2016 on whether to go aheadwith Trident replace ment,CND is working with newpartners to encourage widerpublic debate about the futureof Britain’s nuclear weaponssystem. This spring, CNDVice-President Bruce Kentwill be travelling the countryas part of a multi-faith tour,taking part in meetings hostedby various religious groups. Faith groups have an

important history within CND,with our specialist sectionChristian CND especially activeover the years. The tour hopesto build stronger relationshipswith more faith communities.Bruce is looking forward to it.‘I hope to increase interest inall religious communities in themoral issues involved inspending as much as £100billion on yet another genera -tion of nuclear weapons,’ hesaid. ‘Some religious groups likethe Quakers, Methodists and

other non-conformist bodieshave from the start beenentirely opposed to nuclearweapons. In the Church ofEngland, there have beendivisions. There was adramatic change in theCatholic Church’s position in2006, when the Bishops calledon the govern ment todecommission all Britishnuclear weapons as a steptowards global elimination.The Muslim community hasfrequently said that nuclearweapons are against Qu’ranicteaching on warfare.’Bruce thinks it’s very

important that CND engageswith religious groups, saying‘too often those on the left ofpolitics in this country fail torecognise how influentialreligious communities havebeen in some areas of socialprogress.’Hoping to use his influence

to make a difference in thedebate is the Archbishop ofWales, Barry Morgan. He has

repeatedly expressed hisconcern regarding the govern -ment’s intention to replaceTrident, saying ‘we toleratehunger, poverty and impurewater and yet are prepared to

contemplate spending ourresources on weapons of massdestruction’.The Archbishop has also

pointed out that ‘theacquisition and possible use ofnuclear weapons does notsquare at all with the Christianidea of a just war’. Speaking toCampaign, the Archbishop saidhe believed there is moreopposition to nuclear weaponsin faith communities than incommunities as a whole. Heencouraged CND to contacteach Council of Churches toask their opinion on nuclearweapons. ‘Public opinion canchange overnight,’ theArchbishop concluded. ‘Thecampaign against Tridentreplacement can be successful.’Sharing the Archbishop’s

opposition to nuclear weaponsis Omer El-Hamdoon, thePresident of the MuslimAssociation of Britain. He saidto Campaign: ‘I think the worldneeds to move towardsdisarming nuclear weapons, asthey are catastrophic incidentswaiting to happen. Trident willbe an important factor in theupcoming elections.’ Omer is assisting with

arranging one of the events inBruce’s tour. He’s excited aboutthe meeting and thinks CNDshould reach out to moremosque, church, synagogue andtemple leaders and get theminvolved in the discussionabout nuclear weapons.

YOU MIGHT be forgivenfor forgetting that

Fukushima actually happened,so little is it covered in the pro-nuclear UK media. I can’tforget, as I was living there withmy family at the time of theaccident. Although we werelucky enough to be able to leave,the family and friends we leftbehind are in our thoughts daily.We are particularly concernedthat many thousands ofchildren, young women andpregnant women areencouraged by the national andFukushima prefectural govern -ments to return to areas withhigh radiation exposure. 74 definite and suspected

cases of thyroid cancer from

254,000 children tested wereofficially announced in February,a huge rise from the pre-disasterfigures which were around oneor two cases per 100,000. Many parents have spoken

about their experiences of theirchildren’s damaged health, withimmune systems impaired, mul ti -ple infections, respiratory prob -lems and nose bleeds verycommon. The ‘official line’ is thatthere is definitely no conn ec tionwith these problems and radia -tion, despite a lack of detailedresearch in many of the key areasof this most political andeconomically prejudiced subject.There are also no plans to testthe population’s blood system at i -cally or to track health outcomes.

Fukushima aftermath

Meanwhile, parents arecriticised for worryingunnecessarily, some officials andjournalists even claimingwithout evidence that it is thisvery concern that will be thesole cause of any adverse healtheffects. Mothers at the forefrontof campaigning for radiationsafety have recently been visitedby the police, with one currentlybeing prosecuted.

The new vague Secrecy Lawunder which information aboutradiation or accidents can bedeclared a state secret and theon-going refusal to record orrelease detailed information willmean that we will learn littlenew or reliable about radiationand health from Fukushima.

Last month, CND marked the third anniversary of theFukushima nuclear accident. Tens of thousands ofrefugees are still unable to return to their homes due tothe area being contaminated with radiation. Geoff Read was one of those who left his home inthe area following the disaster. He has created a websiteto publish pictures drawn by Fukushima’s children.

THOSE OF US who knowwhat a nuclear weapon is

capable of would recoil inhorror if suddenly presentedwith a nuclear warhead.However, there is actually agood chance that you havecome very close to one. Severaltimes a year, Trident warheadsare transported on the roads ofBritain. They are taken from theassembly facility at Burghfieldnear Reading to the armamentsdepot at Coulport on the Clyde. Thirty years ago this May a

group of Faslane PeaceCampers first followed awarhead convoy to Carlisle.Since then, a network ofactivists up and down thecountry, calling ourselves‘Nukewatch’ have climbed trees,waited in lay-bys and drivenmany miles to gather inform -ation on the whereabouts of themost deadly load on our roads. We now need more of us.

The convoys travel at all hoursof the day and night and weneed people to keep an eye outand let us know when they see

Labour policyLabour is ‘committed to aminimum, credibleindependent nucleardeterrent,’ which it believesis best delivered ‘through aContinuous At-SeaDeterrent. It would require asubstantial body of evidencefor us to change this belief.’

That’s what is written in theLabour Party draft manifestodocuments for the 2015election. Labour CND hasdrafted an amendment andbelieves a debate on Tridentcan be secured at theSeptember conference. It isnow busy urging Labouractivists to submit theamendment through theirlocal constituency partiesbefore the 13th Junedeadline. Non-members canmake online submissions.

The amendment states ‘Werecognise the success of pastinternational bans indelegitimising weapons ofmass destruction such aslandmines, cluster munitions,and chemical and biologicalweapons and support asimilar process to ban nuclearweapons, as acomplementary andnecessary mechanism to ourdisarmament commitmentunder the Non-ProliferationTreaty.

There were renewed callsfor Trident to be scrappedand the replacementprogramme ended, as theDefence Secretary PhilipHammond announced thathundreds of millions wouldneed to be spent on thesubmarine and facilities,following a radiation leak at atest nuclear reactor for theVanguard submarines.Hammond said that £120million would be spentreplacing the reactor core ofHMS Vanguard, the oldest ofthe four Trident submarines,while a further £150 millionwould have to be spent atRaynesway and Devonportconstruction and refitting

facilities. Questions were leftunanswered about the need toreplace reactors on the otherVanguard submarines, orpotential impact on futuresubmarine construction.

Talks are continuingbetween Iran and the US,Russia, China, Germany, Franceand the UK on limiting itsnuclear developmentprogramme in return for aneasing of sanctions. Iran hasalready agreed to an interimagreement. Intense discussionshave been ongoing since theelection of new PresidentHassan Rouhani. Iran maintainsit has no ambitions to develop anuclear weapon, ‘out of

principle’. The EU’s head offoreign policy, Catherine Ashton,has said a final deal will be‘difficult’.

A new report found that theconsortium running Britain’snuclear weapons factories giveover £8m a year in researchfunding to more than 50universities. The AtomicWeapons Establishment (AWE),has formed ‘strategic alliances’with some of the UK’s leadinguniversities. The authors of thereport (Nuclear InformationService and Medact) say that theaim of much of the fundedresearch is to maintain anddevelop the UK’s nuclearweapon programme.
