Mayak citizens are about to become victims again, this time of the western 'democracies' who want to export their nuclear waste there. Help us to help the people of Mayak: Write to your Government urging it not to turn Russia into the world's nuclear waste dump. There are no international conventions banning the dumping of radioactive waste. Help us to call for one! All spent fuel transports must stop immediately and the Mayak facility should be decommissioned.

We need an International convention on dumping of radioactive waste

There are international conventions governing toxic substances in our environment and radioactive substances in our oceans but there is no international convention to stop the dumping of radioactive waste on land. Help us to push for one.

All spent fuel transports must stop immediately

Transports of radioactive material threaten the health and livelihoods of millions of people worldwide and their environments. These deadly transports are unnecessary and, in addition, it is rare that the very people threatened by these transports are informed about their passage through the areas where they live.
