Did you know that there have been five nuclear meltdowns during the last 42 years, and all of them have happened during springtime?

Here you will read and sometimes hear from the Fairewinds Crew, our colleagues, and other researchers and journalists as we share current and archival material with you. We hope our readers and supporters will use this series to reflect upon atomic power and nuclear weapons risks.

Let’s all look forward to a future filled with renewable and sustainable energy, so our planet is safe for humankind and the other species that inhabit it.
