Anti-nuclear movement
The
anti-nuclear movement
is a
social movement
that opposes various
nuclear technologies
. Some
direct action
groups,
environmental
groups, and
professional
organisations have identified themselves with the movement at the local, national, and international level. Major
anti-nuclear groups
include
Campaign for Nuclear Disarmament
,
Friends of the Earth
,
Greenpeace
,
International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War
, and the
Nuclear Information and Resource Service
. The initial objective of the movement was
nuclear disarmament
, though since the late 1960s opposition has included the use of
nuclear power
. Many anti-nuclear groups oppose both nuclear power and nuclear weapons. The formation of
green parties
in the 1970s and 1980s was often a direct result of anti-nuclear politics.
