Bellona’s Russian nuclear project celebrates its 25th anniversary
Bellona’s nuclear project is a tale of how a Norwegian organization and the world community helped Russia dispose of Soviet radioactive waste
The Chernobyl disaster of 1986 was one of the reasons the Bellona
Foundation came to be. In its homeland, the organization engaged in
spectacular protests against Norwegian industries that were polluting
the environment.
But they were also concerned about their proximity to the Soviet
Union and its military activities, which threatened the entire region.
Above all, the Norwegians were worried by nuclear testing on Novaya
Zemlya and the presence of the Northern Nuclear Fleet.
During the Cold War, Norway had no influence over the nuclear and
radiation safety of the Arctic region. With the advent of Glasnost,
Bellona was presented with the opportunity to spread information and
take practical action. It was this that gave our comprehensive nuclear
project a start.
