Small Modular Nuclear Reactors and Likely Human Health Effects

The "new", smaller reactors now being pushed by the nuclear industry are not new. Some, like the lightwater reactor highlighted in this presentation, exist in larger form today and have a track record of pollution and health impacts, particularly for pregnancy, children and indigenous populations. 

Building more of these reactor types will create more long-lasting problems for human health and the environment while failing to address the climate crisis. A presentation by Cindy Folkers, radiation and health specialist, Beyond Nuclear.
