Inhumane Nuclear Testing Admitted By UKAEA

Posted 30th September 2001
The UK Atomic Energy Authority (UKAEA) today admitted that the bones of babies were used to test the effects of nuclear weapons between 1954 and 1970. The bones were removed from babies without the knowledge or permission of the grieving parents and were tested on in laboratories in Glasgow and Woolwich.

It is claimed that these tests led to the ending of nuclear testing.

It is presumed that the researchers involved discovered that at the radiation levels associated with ground zero of nuclear weapons attack, bones are incinerated instantaneously something which was discovered beyond doubt in Hiroshima and Nagasaki in1945.

Children are still being born suffereing from the genetic effects of the A-Bombs in Japan. People are still contracting cancer at disproportionately high rates also. The effects of nuclear attacks do not just disappear, they are with us for generation to generation.

Today's announcement will bring a wave of emotional suffering to all those families who lost a child in the 26 year time-frame mentioned. The exact number and details of which babies' bodies were desecrated in this way by a UK Government organisation may never be known.

Nuclear weapons are inhumane and were declared by the World Court in 1996 to be generally illegal under International Law. The testing admitted today, further indicts a system which conducted nuclear tests in Australia on land populated by the Maralinga Tribe in 1952.

There are also claims that disabled people were used in tests in Australia the same year. A Royal Air Force pilot reports flying disabled people from the UK into the area of the tests, never to see them return.
