CND call for end of atom power THE chair of CND Cymru urged the world to reject nuclear power on the 20th anniversary of the Chernobyl disaster. Plaid Cymru MEP for Wales and CND Cymru Chair Jill Evans also renewed calls for a full independent inquiry into the world's worst nuclear catastrophe. She was speaking after returning from a visit to Chernobyl to see first-hand the devastation caused by the disaster. It was revealed last week that the final number of cancer deaths attributable to the radiation from Chernobyl may be as high as 90,000. Ms Evans said: "Today the world remembers the victims of Chernobyl. "Twenty years have passed since that terrifying day in April 1986 and the disaster continues to cause pain and suffering for thousands. The only way to ensure it never happens again is to reject nuclear power. "When I visited Chernobyl and the surrounding contaminated area in northern Ukraine last weekend I was struck by the silence. "We couldn't see the radiation all around that will make this area, where over 100,000 people once lived, uninhabitable for generations. The final toll of the Chernobyl disaster may never be known. "Nuclear power is not the answer to the world's energy crisis it can never be safe, cost effective nor sustainable." |
