PSR member Dr. Ira Helfand on how the resumption of U.S. nuclear tests would risk our security and health.

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

President Trump says the U.S. will “immediately” resume testing nuclear weapons for the first time since the 1990s.

Nuclear expert and disarmament advocate Dr. Ira Helfand says the move will inflame geopolitical tension and that “our luck is going to run out at some point.”

[IPPNW @ippnw.bsky.social @IPPNW]

IPPNW and @PSRnuclear jointly condemn dangerous recent announcements on a resumption of U.S. Nuclear Testing. Read the statement:

[The Nobel Prize @NobelPrize]

One day, the atomic bomb survivors from Hiroshima and Nagasaki will no longer be among us as witnesses to history.

But with a strong culture of remembrance and continued commitment, new generations in Japan are carrying forward the experience and the message of the witnesses. They are inspiring and educating people around the world. In this way they are helping to maintain the nuclear taboo – a precondition of a peaceful future for humanity.
