International appeal to Prime Ministers of Japan and India, Shinzo Abe and Narendra Modi.

DO NOT SIGN THE INDIA-JAPAN NUCLEAR AGREEMENT
DO NOT ALLOW THE REPROCESSING OF SPENT NUCLEAR FUEL

In late July and early August, a leading member of India’s Coalition for Peace and Nuclear Disarmament, Kumar Sundaram, visited several Japanese cities in order to speak to the mass media and Japanese citizens about the proposed Japan-India nuclear energy agreement. He timed his visit to Japan to precede that of Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi at the end of August. Modi will meet with his Japanese counterpart in hopes of finalizing a deal to allow the purchase of vital components of nuclear power plants that are proposed or under construction.

The newly elected Indian Prime Minister would be visiting Tokyo soon to finalise a nuclear supply agreement with Japan. This deal has been long pending despite immense pressure from the nuclear industry inside Japan, and also the nuclear lobbies of the US and France, which require crucial parts from Japan.
