The Anti-Nuclear Movement is a social and political campaign that opposes the use of nuclear energy and weapons. It emerged in the mid-20th century, particularly after events like the bombings of Hiroshima and Nagasaki during World War II. Activists argue that nuclear power poses significant risks, including accidents, radioactive waste, and the potential for nuclear proliferation. The movement has seen various forms of activism, including protests, educational campaigns, and legal challenges. Key events, such as the Three Mile Island accident in 1979 and the Chernobyl disaster in 1986, galvanized public concern. Organizations like Greenpeace and the Nuclear Information and Resource Service have played vital roles in advocating for alternatives to nuclear energy.
