Abhijit Naskar
“One nuclear warhead contains 9 lbs of plutonium,
Which can electrify 2000 households for a year.
Yet you use that majestic power of atom as pawn,
In your stoneage geopolitical games of fear.”
Abhijit Naskar, Tum Dunya Tek Millet: Greatest Country on Earth is Earth

Steven Magee
“The Fukushima nuclear complex went on to become the worst man-made engineering disaster in all of human history, outside of war.”
Steven Magee, Health Forensics
