Challenging Nuclear Secrecy: A discussion of hierarchies, ethics and barriers to access in nuclear archives
This new report from the Nuclear Truth Project is a deep discussion on how affected communities, researchers, civil society and governments interact with nuclear archives.
It includes case studies and community stories around nuclear archives, and some tools for researchers coming to this work. The report is informed by experiences of affected community members, researchers, and activists.
Please contact the Nuclear Truth Project to share your thoughts on the report or to request a high resolution version of the report.
Currently we have permission to share these papers prepared by our members Dr Arjun Makhijani and Assoc Prof Tilman Ruff for the International Campaign to Abolish Nuclear Weapons in July 2022.

DNA has the ability to repair itself through complex mechanisms and pathways when damage occurs. Its intricacy of repair can be compared to the creation of beaded items in Native Culture. Designs are thought out ahead and require skill and patience to be able to bead such intricate pieces. When a beaded necklace comes undone, the stones/beads are restrung by using what is already there. The design used is from the Crow Nation. The use of the flower design symbolizes the idea of regrowth.
