TESTIMONIES
CHERNOBYL PAPERS No.1

Since the very beginning of its existence, Greenpeace has campaigned to unveil the 
"Atoms for Peace" myth. Ten years after the Chernobyl accident, it has become even 
more apparent than ever that nuclear power is an ultimate problem, rather than the 
ultimate solution.
In this report we offer first hand accounts by those who experienced the Chernobyl 
disaster and now live with the consequences – evacuation from their homes, poverty, 
ill health and the death of loved ones. This report is not intended as a scientific 
account of the accident, but as a testimony to the fact that Chernobyl is an on going 
human tragedy.
Nuclear power is a deadly legacy from the past. This report is a stark reminder of the 
real price humanity has to pay for nuclear technology. Greenpeace believes that now 
is the time to build a future based on realistic, safe and sustainable technology that 
does not carry the environmental and financial costs associated with nuclear energy.
Greenpeace is promoting a "New Energy Deal", encompassing the concepts of energy 
efficiency and renewable energy sources.
The technologies to implement those concepts exist already. They do not have to be 
invented, they are ready - they use new materials, lightweight metals, 
microcomputers, silicon film, arrays of semiconductors and new electric filament; 
they run on wind, sunlight, ocean waves and organic gas. These energy sources are 
sustainable because they do not "run out", and they do not pass on a legacy of 
environmental pollution and devastation to future generations.
Now is the time to stop all further developments in the nuclear industry, and now 
is the time to start to implement the "New Energy Deal".
