THE NUCLEAR SAHARA — Living with the legacies of French nuclear testing
Join us for an evening of slides and stories from the Sahara:
6.30 pm Sunday 18 March
Travellers Bookstore, 294 Smith Street, Collingwood 3066
Between 1960 and 1966, France conducted 17 nuclear tests in Algeria.
Last month, for the first time, the Algerian government hosted an international conference on the health and environmental consequences of nuclear testing in the Sahara. The meeting brought together former soldiers from France and nuclear survivors from Algeria, together with researchers from the Middle East, France, Tahiti, Japan, Australia and the United States. Nic Maclellan attended the conference and also travelled to the In Eker test site.
Drinks and nibbles provided. Please RSVP 0421 840 100 or email nfip@optusnet.com.au
