Maryknoll calls for end to nuclear energy;
Urges world leaders to address grave threats to human life

As the world prepares to mark the first anniversary of the tragic tsunami and nuclear accident in Japan, Maryknoll missioners convey their continued sympathy for all those directly impacted by the disaster, and present a new statement that expresses their deep reservations about the continued reliance on the use of nuclear power and the development of nuclear weapons.

Washington, D.C.: In a new statement released today, Maryknoll addresses a range of threats posed by nuclear power and urges political leaders to reject the cultivation and use of nuclear power as an alternative to fossil fuel. "We believe that the radiation and proliferation hazards endemic to nuclear energy production breach the safety and security of human life and endanger the integrity of creation," the statement reads.
