The tour is heavily centered on ‘radioactive racism’ - that is the direct negative impact the nuclear industry is having on indigenous peoples more so, than any other segment of the population.
Through meeting with indigenous peoples as well as local campaign groups, the tour will provide a real understanding into the social and environmental consequences of the nuclear industry.
