Podcasts about nuclear free

It's time for A-Z of Aotearoa, where we take you through a subject that plays a huge role in New Zealand life. We're working our way down the Alphabet from A for Aviation to Z. This week we officially cross the halfway point with the 14th letter of the alphabet - N We considered Nuclear Free, The Nikau Pine, and the NZX, but we landed on N for Northland or Te Reo Maori Te Tai Tokerau. Home to just over 200,000 of us, or 16 people per square kilometer, as well as places like Ninety Mile Beach, Kai Iwi Lakes, Bay of Islands, and our tallest tree Tane Mahuta. Sometimes referred to as the Birthplace of the nation, its history stretches all the way back to the 13th century. Ralph Johnson and Peter De Graaf chat to Jesse.

My guest today, Zia Mian is co-director of Princeton University's Program on Science and Global Security. He's a physicist who has long studied nuclear weapons and nuclear security. In our conversation Zia Mian explains how scientists have impacted policy discussions about nuclear weapons since the dawn of the nuclear age, and how as the nuclear security landscape is evolving--and as science is advancing, scientists can continue to contribute to our understanding of the effects of a nuclear war.  In addition to his perch at Princeton, Zia Mian serves as Co-Chair of the Scientific Advisory Group of the United Nations Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons. This is the first first international scientific body created by a United Nations treaty process for the purpose of advancing nuclear disarmament and in our conversation he explains how the work of scientists can contribute to a nuclear free world.  We kick off, however, discussing the recent conflict between India and Pakistan and what this conflict says about the role of nuclear weapons in international security today.  We recorded this conversation in conjunction with the Carnegie International Nuclear Policy Conference.

Host Joe DeMare talks about Easter, Flowers, and Frogs. Next he interviews Brennain Lloyd with Nuclear Free North about plans to dump nuclear wastes on the indigenous people living in northern Ontario. Rebecca Wood talks about eggs. Ecological News includes more electric cars, salmon on Xanex, and Trump wiping out marine sanctuaries. 

In this episode, we bring you voices from the Nuclear-Free Gathering held in Naarm in February 2025.We hear from Dr. Margie Beavis (Medical Association for Prevention of War) on the dangers of nuclear energy, Dimity Hawkins (ICAN) on Australia's role in global nuclear militarisation, Aunty Sue Coleman on the colonial violence of uranium mining, and Wendy Farmer (Voices of the Valley) on regional community resistance to nuclear projects. With AUKUS ramping up nuclear expansion, communities are pushing back, demanding a future that is nuclear-free and just.Recordings captured by 3CR's Radioactive Show.

Native Title and Nuclear Colonialism "The sacred sites we're protecting have been handed down to use from generation to generation... We're fighting to protect that country because that's where it all is... Our spirituality is out there, that's our church, our grocery shop, our butcher's, our pharmacy. Everything that we have been taught over all our lives is on country." - Aunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine In the wake of Peter Dutton's nuclear energy plan announcement, First Nations organisers and allies are wondering where all the waste will go, and calling out the corrupt consent processes used by corporations and governments to get away with desecrating country. We hear from Aunty Sue Coleman-Haseldine and Bundjileenee Robbie Thorpe, as part of a panel discussion at the recent Nukes-Free Gathering on Wurundjeri country. Drawing on decades on the frontlines, they share the truth about Native Title, the corporatisation of consent processes, and what happens when Southern Launch wants to launch rockets from your country. The Nukes-Free Gathering was a project of Old Country Calling and Nuclear Free at Friends of the Earth. Earth Matters #1426 was produced by Mia Audrey on the lands of Wurundjeri Woi-wurrung in Narrm (Melbourne).

We have to ask some simple questions around our attitude to nuclear and whether we are capable of becoming slightly more mature about it. This country got semi-famous for its anti-nuke stance. We are still anti-nuke, but we got famous a lifetime ago and the world has changed. Amazon and Google and Oracle are building their own nuclear reactors and, if not building, they are buying nuclear deals with places like Three Mile Island, which also a lifetime ago made headlines around the world. They need nuclear to run data centres. Data centres need astonishing amounts of power. New Zealand wants to host data centres. Can New Zealand be a data centre hub, given the power system we now run? No. Ironically, just yesterday Genesis announced they will be buying more coal for next winter to cover the gap. The ongoing gap. That's not for data centres. That's to turn the lights on, on a cold morning. This country, as we found out this winter, can't handle cold far less data centres, and nothing is changing between now and next winter. Factor in EV's if you want and we return to the ongoing but unanswered question - just what is it we are going to run the country on? Hydro is good, but not reliable. And neither is any of the other options we may or may not ever get around to producing at scale, like wind or solar or batteries. Nuclear is not only reliable, it's good for the environment. So we want to run data centres, but we don't have enough power, we are still burning more coal, and the thing we hate is a viable option and being picked up and run with around the rest of the world. Are we to be left behind? Or are we to grow up and move forward? I would have thought it answers itself. But let's see. See omnystudio.com/listener for privacy information.

Here's your chance to be inspired and after hearing from those who know, become an anti-nuclear campaigner enabling you to talk with others about the myths and weaknesses of the poorly thought-through idea the Liberal-National Party Coalition has for using nuclear energy to power Australia. First, you should listen to/watch the recent virtual event - "Don't nuke the climate: How to stop Dutton's nuclear power reactors" - take a close look at the "Don't nuke the climate" web page and then study the "Friends of the Earth Australia's Nuclear-Free Campaign".

Under current net zero plans, local renewables should directly supply 75% of our energy needs. What about the remainder? Dr Karl consults an engineer on why atomic reactors are a very poor choice for Australian conditions. Dr Barnes drkarl.com

On this week's episode, we speak to Sanne de Swart, Coordinator of the Nuclear Free Collective at Friends of the Earth Melbourne, and has been part of the anti-nuclear struggle since 2011 when she joined the ‘Walk Away from Uranium Mining' event in solidarity with Aboriginal people to push for a ban on uranium mining in Western Australia. With the Coalition's power plan having thrust nuclear energy into the public sphere, I spoke to Sanne about the realities of this proposal, the dangers of nuclear energy and radioactivity as well as the long history of First Nations activism and organising against the nuclear and uranium mining industries. This conversation first aired on 3CR Tuesday Breakfast on June 25 2024.//Resources:Don't Nuke the Climate websiteDon't Nuke the Climate Facebook PageDon't Nuke the Climate Instagram Page Friends of the Earth's statement on the climate announcement and Gippsland says NO to nuclear petition.

At the start of the 21st century, several groups began efforts aiming not just to control nuclear weapons but to eliminate them altogether. The so-called Gang of Four, William Perry, George Shultz, Sam Nunn and Henry Kissinger, wrote numerous powerful op-eds, urging us to work towards a world without nuclear weapons. Bruce Blair turned from academics to founding Global Zero, dedicated to the same goal. And a coalition of activist groups formed the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons, ICAN. In 2017, the United Nations adopted the Treaty on the Prohibition of Nuclear Weapons, and ICAN was awarded the Nobel Peace Prize.

Keeping the Pacific nuclear-free, in line with the Rarotonga treaty, was a recurring theme from the leaders of Tonga, Cook Islands and Samoa to New Zealand's Pacific Mission. Foreign Affairs Minister Winston Peters and Health and Pacific Peoples Minister Shane Reti are back in Aotearoa after a whirlwind trip last week of three nations in three days. The New Zealand ministers reiterated to Pacific leaders that they care about the region and were indicating their support by visiting in the first 50 days of the new government. RNZ Pacific's Eleisha Foon covered the tour.

Samoa's Prime Minister tells New Zealand keeping the Pacific nuclear-free needs to be central to any AUKUS discussions.

The Pacific Islands Forum is continuing, with Labour's deputy leader Carmel Sepuloni and National Party foreign spokesperson Gerry Brownlee representing Aotearoa. University of Canterbury professor Steven Ratuva says the biggest issues facing the forum this year is the "freshening up" the 1985 treaty that makes the Pacific a nuclear-free zone, and climate change. Ratuva spoke to Corin Dann.

Susan Crane is a Peace Activist.  Susan and I met last year at the 2022 International Peace Delegation in Germany. This year that same peace delegation will be held again in the Netherlands at the Volkel Air Base. The 2023 Volkel Peace Delegation will focus on the climate and a nuclear free world. Activists from the Netherlands, Belgium, Germany, the United States and possibly other countries get together for these days of action. The Netherlands is one of five NATO members to host US nuclear weapons on its territory as part of a nuclear-sharing agreement. The Dutch air force is assigned approximately 15 B61 nuclear bombs, which are deployed at Volkel Air Base. And The F-35 and F-16 fighter-bombers emit over 10 tons of CO2 per flight hour practicing to bomb the world with new, even ‘better' nuclear bombs in the next war. And when those nuclear bombs are used, it is very harmful to the climate and to all life on earth. With Susan we talk about the delegation, actions that will take place, the main objectives, why nonviolence, and more.  Contact and connect with Susan: susan.s.crane@gmail.com  More on the international camp: https://noelhuis.nl/peace-camp-volkel-2023/  https://www.icanw.org/netherlands

Japan has made assurances the wastewater it's dumping in the Pacific is safe – but not everyone is convinced.

New Zealanders are being assured talks underway for possible participation in AUKUS would not compromise Aotearoa's nuclear free status. The alliance - between Australia, the United States and the United Kingdom - is widely seen as a direct response to China's push for greater regional influence. The first, key, element is a multi-billion dollar deal for Australia to get the technology and capability to deploy nuclear-powered submarines. The second is about partner countries working together to make rapid progress in the military tech space - which is where New Zealand could become involved. Here's political editor Jane Patterson.

Oceania is a vast sea of islands, large scale political struggles and immensely significant historical phenomena. Pasifika Black: Oceania, Anti-Colonialism, and the African World (NYU Press, 2022) is a compelling history of understudied anti-colonial movements in this region, exploring how indigenous Oceanic activists intentionally forged international connections with the African world in their fights for liberation. Drawing from research conducted across Fiji, Australia, Vanuatu, Papua New Guinea, Britain, and the United States, Quito Swan shows how liberation struggles in Oceania actively engaged Black internationalism in their diverse battles against colonial rule. Pasifika Black features as its protagonists Oceania's many playwrights, organizers, religious leaders, scholars, Black Power advocates, musicians, environmental justice activists, feminists, and revolutionaries who carried the banners of Black liberation across the globe. It puts artists like Aboriginal poet Oodgeroo Noonuccal and her 1976 call for a Black Pacific into an extended conversation with Nigeria's Wole Soyinka, the Nuclear Free and Independent Pacific's Amelia Rokotuivuna, Samoa's Albert Wendt, African American anthropologist Angela Gilliam, the NAACP's Roy Wilkins, West Papua's Ben Tanggahma, New Caledonia's Déwé Gorodey, and Polynesian Panther Will 'Ilolahia. In so doing, Swan displays the links Oceanic activists consciously and painstakingly formed in order to connect Black metropoles across the Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian Oceans. In a world grappling with the global significance of Black Lives Matter and state-sanctioned violence against Black and Brown bodies, Pasifika Black is a both triumphant history and tragic reminder of the ongoing quests for decolonization in Oceania, the African world, and the Global South.
