Nuclear Power:

The Critical Question

First hand reports from the frontlines of the nuclear fuel chain

"If you say, you do not know that your steak comes from a cow, people will think 
you are really stupid - but with energy it is the same." Alain de Halleux, interviewee.

A quarter of Germany's electricity comes from nuclear power plants.
Those of us at WECF wanted to know what's actually behind nuclear energy 
production. And that is why we followed the path of uranium, the raw material 
of nuclear power, from the mine to enrichment and milling through power 
production and waste storage across the world.

As a result, we encountered individuals who have been effected by the nuclear fuel 
chain. In this booklet, insiders report on their direct experience with uranium mining 
and enrichment, with nuclear disasters and with the storage of radioactive substances. 
They offer testimony about the internal operation of nuclear power plants, the use 
of depleted uranium (DU) munitions in war zones and the impacts of nuclear fuel 
reprocessing.

All who testified have one thing in common: They know that the road to the future 
must be different than the uranium path of the past.
