1 REGIONAL NUCLEAR WAR COULD MEAN GLOBAL NUCLEAR FAMINE Aregional nuclear war involving the numbers of weapons possessed by India and Pakistan would trigger a global climate disaster and could lead to global famine according to findings presented at a joint medical conference on nuclear war organized by IPPNW, its UK affiliate Medact, and the Catastrophes and Conflict Forum of the Royal Society of Medicine. Emergency medical specialist Ira Helfand presented An Assessment of the Extent of Projected Global Famine Resulting from Limited, Regional Nuclear War at the conference Nuclear Weapons: The Final Pandemic Preventing Proliferation and Achieving Abolition, in London on October 5, Dr. Helfand cited research by conference speakers Alan Robock of Rutgers University and Owen B. Toon of the University of Colorado, demonstrating that debris ejected into the stratosphere from about 100 nuclear explosions and subsequent fires would NEWSLETTER FOR THE INTERNATIONAL PHYSICIANS FOR THE PREVENTION OF NUCLEAR WAR (IPPNW) VITAL cause sudden global cooling and decreased precipitation for up to 10 years, resulting in shorter growing seasons and significantly lower grain production. Dr. Helfand warned that a total global death toll in the range of one billion from starvation alone, along with major epidemics of infectious diseases were foreseeable outcomes of the climate effects of nuclear explosions on this scale. He explained that there are already 800 million people in the world whose daily caloric intake falls below minimum requirements. A small decline in available food would put this entire group at risk. A sudden decline in agricultural production could trigger massive famine. The two-day conference also examined the current state of understanding about the health effects of exposure to low doses of ionizing radiation; the impact of uranium mining on the health of indigenous mining communities in SIGNS A sudden decline in agricultural production could trigger massive famine. India, Australia, and elsewhere (see page 6); the dangers posed by the use of highly enriched uranium in reactors that produce medical isotopes; and the humanitarian consequences of a possible US military attack against Iran.

2 IPPNW WORLD NOTES GLOBAL COMMUNITY OF PEACEMAKERS MAKING A WORLD OF DIFFERENCE PHOTO: J.LORETZ PHOTO: K.LUNDIUS I hope that IPPNW s International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons (ICAN) and the campaign for the conclusion of a nuclear weapons convention will yield positive results... The Mongolian Government supports IPPNW s noble goals and activities. H.E. Nambar Enkhbayar, President, Mongolia DOCTOR-TO-DOCTOR DIPLOMACY: IPPNW IN IRAN IRAN Co-President Ime John continued IPPNW s outreach to Iranian physicians with a one-week visit to Tehran and Isfahan in June. Dr. John met with members of the Society of Chemical Weapons Victims Support (SCWVS), including the Society s Head of International Relations, Dr. Shahriar Khateri. In addition to discussing IPPNW s programs and campaigns with Iranian physicians and medical students, Dr. John met with municipal officials in both cities, delivering a letter from Mayor Tadatoshi Akiba of Hiroshima inviting Iranian participation in Mayors For Peace. Recalling the devastation of nuclear war as experienced by the cities of Hiroshima and Nagasaki, Dr. John told an audience at the Tehran Municipality Office that the effects of the atomic bombs on those cities, like the horror of chemical weapons used against the people of Iran during the Iran- Iraqi war in the 1980s should never be allowed to recur. The immense human suffering and the environmental degradation as a consequence of these weapons of mass destruction should be a sad reminder that [all of us must] resist war and embrace peace. On April 7, IPPNW medical students with the Nuclear Weapons Inheritance Project joined with Iranian students to organize a Target X installation in Tehran. Medical student exchanges between Iran and IPPNW s Swedish affiliate, SLMK, are planned for the future. CONDEMNING THE US-INDIA NUCLEAR ENERGY AGREEMENT INDIA AND UNITED STATES Opposition to the nuclear energy agreement between the US and India may prevent it from ever going into effect. Prime Minister Singh told the US in October that political obstacles in his country had frozen the agreement, which had also raised global proliferation concerns.

Contact Daniel Karp: x PHOTO: I.JOHN PHOTO: W.TAO IPPNW RAISES NUCLEAR AWARENESS IN PYONGYANG DEM. PEOPLE S REPUBLIC OF KOREA SLMK brought IPPNW s nuclear abolition message to another critical region in June, when it organized a return delegation of doctors and medical students to the Democratic People s Republic of Korea. Swedish physician Martin Tondel led a group comprising medical students Wenjing Tao, Johannes Norberg, and Thomas Silfverberg, who brought a collection of IPPNW publications along with medical texts to the Korean Anti-Nuke Peace Physicians (KANPP), the federation s North Korean affiliate. At Ansan General Clinic one of several hospitals visited during the trip the delegation had an opportunity to learn about basic health services in DPRK, after which they met with the Dean of the Pyongyang University of Medicine and a group of nine medical students. Dr Tondel presented a new paper on the health consequences of the Chernobyl disaster, which was followed by an open discussion of nuclear issues. We were able to speak more openreleased a joint statement on August 17 condemning the deal, and calling on the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) to block its implementation. The US and Indian affiliates said the deal undermines the Non- Proliferation Treaty (NPT) by allowing India to keep a third of its reactors under military control without international inspection, including two fast-breeder reactors that could produce fuel for weapons. They called instead for investments in renewable sources of energy that will enhance India s long-term energy security. IPPNW, which has been working to oppose the agreement since it was first announced early in 2006, delivered copies of the statement to the foreign ministries of each NSG member country, and will keep up the pressure to ensure that this dangerous deal is rejected. ONLINE: REPORTS A full statement on the US/INDIA nuclear energy agreement available: ippnw.org/news/statements.html ly than we had expected, Dr. Tondel said, both with medical students and doctors and health personnel and we have a good idea about the next steps in strengthening this cooperation.

6 NEW STUDY DOCUMENTS HEALTH PROBLEMS AROUND INDIA S URANIUM MINES INDIAN DOCTORS FOR PEACE AND DEVELOPMENT (IDPD) HAS COMPLETED A YEAR- LONG SURVEY OF HEALTH CONDITIONS AMONG INDIGENOUS COMMUNITIES AROUND THE JADUGODA URANIUM MINES. IDPD researchers, including Satyajit Kumar Singh and Shakeel Ur Rahman, collected health information from 2,118 households in five villages around the mines, tailings ponds, and an ore processing plant operated by Uranium Corporation of India, Ltd (UCIL). They compared this data with similar information gathered from villages some kilometers away from mining activities. IDPD found significant increases in congenital deformities and childhood deaths due to congenital deformities; increased sterility; and elevated numbers of deaths due to cancer. Reduced life expectancy among people living near the mines was also documented. While acknowledging that further study is needed to distinguish radiation effects from the health problems related to mining in general, IDPD blamed UCIL for unsafe operations and for failing to monitor the health of its workers or to provide meaningful treatment PHOTO ABOVE: YOUNG CHILDREN GATHERING AVAILABLE WATER FOR COOKING AND DRINKING. BELOW: INDIAN PHYSICIANS AND RESEARCHERS WITH A HOUSEHOLD THAT LIVES IN CLOSE PROXIMITY TO THE JADUGODA URANIUM MINES. and compensation. Drs. Singh and Rahman referred to a December 2006 incident, when a burst pipe spilled thousands of liters of radioactive waste into a creek for more than nine hours before UCIL acted, as typical of the company s inadequate safety standards. The IDPD study was funded by a grant from the US-based Ploughshares Fund, and was undertaken cooperatively with the Jharkhandis Organisation Against Radiation (JOAR).
