From Los Alamos to the Pine Ridge reservation, where weapons testing and mining poisoned the health and cultures of native people, to Rocky Flats, where U.S. corporations committed what should be a crime against humanity for poisoning surrounding communities, workers and the ecosystem, to Chernobyl and Fukushima, where hubris and corruption betrayed the societal commons, participants tell their stories.

First panel, moderated by scholar and activist Norma Field, at a conference on the radioactive nightmare resulting from 70 years of power and weapons production. With no safe place to put reactor waste and large areas of the mid-Continent U.S. contaminated with uranium mine tailing dust, the NRC still allows more nuclear waste to be made. Activists gathered to share their campaigns at Ending the Nuclear Age.

Dr. Norma Field, Professor Emerita, Japanese Studies, Department of East Asian Languages & Civilizations, University of Chicago, has identified the nuclear issue and the struggle for social justice as a major front-line. She has hosted several conferences about the Nuclear Age, nuclear weapons and nuclear power. (keynote) norma.field@gmail.com
