Abstract: Although to outsiders the Pacific islands may seem far removed
from the center of activities and controversies related to nuclear
energy, this area has had more direct and negative experiences with
nuclear issues than any other area in the world.
These experiences
have led to a deep-rooted skepticism of all nuclear activities in which
distinctions between civilian and military activities, weapons and
power, and low- and high-level waste bear little relation to the
important Pacific concerns.
Antinuclear sentiments are intimately
linked to anticolonialism, growing regionalism and emerging cultural
pride.
Opposition and concern have been expressed in a number of
international, regional, national and nongovernmental forums. In this
climate, arguments about the relative safety of various waste disposal
operations and other nuclear activities are not likely to be
meaningful.
