Meet the Author – Dr Helen Caldicott
Thursday 24 August 2006 5.30 for 6.00pm
The Sydney Mechanics School of Arts Sydney, Level 1, 280 Pitt St, Sydney.

In a world torn apart by wars over oil, politicians from both sides of the political spectrum have begun to seek for alternative energy sources-and their leading choice is nuclear energy. The myths that have been spread about nuclear-powered electricity are that it does not cause global warming or pollution, it is inexpensive and it is safe.

Join Helen Caldicott in conversation with Christine Slade as they examine the real costs and consequences of nuclear energy being used as an alternative to current power sources.

Nuclear Power is not the Answer
Helen Caldicott
Nuclear Power is not the Answer to Global Warming or Anything Else lays out the reasons why nuclear power will solve nothing but will add substantially to the problem of global warming.

It is a unique book addressing nuclear power and global warming, the economic costs, the medical implications of the nuclear fuel cycle, the new generation of reactors and their future contribution to the proliferation of nuclear weapons facing the world today.

The book presents arguments as to why renewable energy solutions are amenable, cheap and immediately available.
