NEW NIS Submission to the Foreign and Commonwealth Office NATIONAL SECURITY STRATEGY CONSULTATION

Global Security: Non-Proliferation

NIS argues that the risks posed by British nuclear weapons production and road transport of warheads threaten each individual citizen and our way of life. Additionally, the risk of a criticality event at the substandard warhead assembly/disassembly facilities at AWE Burghfield is also unacceptable and unjustifiable.

Sadako was two years old when she was exposed to the A-bomb. Nine years later she developed leukemia, and believing that folding 1,000 paper cranes would help her recover, she kept folding them to the end, on October 25, 1955, in the Hiroshima Red Cross Hospital. http://www.sadako.org/sadakostory.htm <http://www.sadako.org/sadakostory.htm>
Now there are millions around the world and at American and Japanese memorials to Hiroshima children. A garland hangs in the NIS office.
