To the United Nations Organization. To leader of the countries of the world

People of the Earth!

To you apply the persons who know what nuclear energy did for the Mankind and for everything living on the Earth already and what it will be able to do in future.

According to the academician Kapitsa’s creative expression nuclear power plants are nuclear bombs giving electricity.

Nuclear power plants are nuclear mines placed by own hands in the territory of own countries. Nuclear power plants have already changed many Countries of the World into real minefields.

The accidents at the nuclear power plants are much more dangerous as nuclear bombs explosions. Nuclear power plants can not be protected by any caps or “the most modern” means of safety from difficult accidents, non-competent or premeditated interference into their work. Nuclear power plants are a willing target for terrorists.

But also within the period of so-called "accident-free work" each nuclear power plant constantly ejects much radioactive substances poisoning wide surrounded areas in the atmosphere. These substances can radically change the characteristics of the atmosphere of the Earth that leads to destruction of the settled rhythm of the planet, to the increase of the number of natural cataclysms and to the increase of their weight. Each year the result becomes more sensible: these are hurricanes, tornados, dry thunders with fires in huge areas, high waters, sudden temperature variations.

Nuclear power plants are built about seven and more years, producing electric energy thirty or fewer years and forever remain the objects being fraught with a large risk for everything around. And having been put out of order they continue requiring the constant and very complicated service. The attempts of bringing the stopped power plants in safety regime will cost not cheaper than their building. There are no countries in the world having serious experience in  putting stopped nuclear power plants into safety order.

The basic product of nuclear power plants is many thousands of tons of the most dangerous radioactive substances produced by them during the period of their operation including the materials necessary for production of nuclear and thermonuclear weapons. The bigger part of these most harmful materials including "eternal isotope" Plutonium was not peculiar to the Earth, the Earth was presented endowed with it by nuclear energy. Nobody in the world knows how to keep safely radioactive products. The Earth is being changed into the dump of radioactive waste from nuclear power plants.

Due to the nuclear energy in the world there appeared a black market supplying all interested persons with nuclear technologies and materials which are necessary for producing nuclear weapons. The responsibility for the derangement of all the attempts for non-proliferation of nuclear weapons weighs on nuclear power engineering specialist’s conscience.

Nuclear power plants yield sharply to modern thermoelectric power stations in terms and costs of their construction as well as in cost price of produced energy. Many kinds of renewable resources power engineering such as sun, thermo- and electroenergy, wind energy, biomass energy, hydrogen energy etc. are found to be more profitable than nuclear energy. And completely harmless for Nature and for a Man.

Millions of people lost their health and future, hundreds of thousands lost their lives because of nuclear energy. And this is only beginning.

People, do not believe in rosy promises of the "nuclear paradise on Earth", already today this “paradise" have brought us many disasters including the Chernobyl disaster. Will the Earth overcome such new disasters? It is high time to come to our senses and to stop “nuclear experiment” on the Mankind and on our home – the Earth. Asking question: if there was a life in Mars, we should not forget that we risk to put our Earth in such condition.

The continuation of maintenance of nuclear power plants aggravates so difficult and insoluble problems. The nuclear energy is not compatible with the notion of Life. And Life requires the immediate closing of all the nuclear power plants.

Dear friend, colleague, like-minded person!

The tragic 20th anniversary of Chernobyl and growing consequences of this and other accidents at nuclear objects make us appeal to UNO and to the leaders of the countries of the World with the Declaration of danger of not only the further development but also of the continuation of the operation of more than 400 nuclear reactors existing in the world.

We suggest you to joint this Declaration as well as to appeal to the like-minded persons, colleagues with the suggestion about the support of the present Declaration. If you agree to sign this Declaration please write us an e-mail about it to the following addresses:

Lepin@tut.by

Nester@tut.by

belrad@tut.by.

In a letter it is required to mention your full name, speciality, titles, degrees and ranks as well as addresses, telephone numbers and E-mail.

Professor Georgy Lepin,
Professor Vasily Nesterenko (corresponding member of the National Academy of Sciences of Belarus).
