Movement Against Uranium Mining

The Movement Against Uranium Mining is a community movement concerned about the dangers to human health and the environment brought about by the operation of the nuclear industry. The dangers arise from the radioactive wastes created in nuclear reactors and the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

The radioactivity released during a serious accident in a nuclear reactor makes vast areas unfit for human habitation and plagues whole populations with cancer and other mutation-related diseases.

The plutonium produced in nuclear reactors can fuel nuclear weapons and is thereby contributing to the proliferation of nuclear weapons.

MAUM aims to stop uranium mining and so break Australia's link with the global nuclear industry and the proliferation of nuclear weapons.
