The forth annual Nuclear Free Future Run/Walk will start from Horseshoe Mound in Portsmouth Ohio.

We will start this event in Portsmouth close to the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant, located near Portsmouth, Ohio, this plant began operations in 1954 as part of a U.S. government expansion program for the production of highly enriched uranium to fuel military reactors, nuclear weapons production and for use at the Y-12 plant in Oakridge TN.

In May 2001, USEC ceased uranium enrichment operations at Portsmouth and consolidated operations at the Paducah KY plant.

There is now a new plan to build a new enrichment plant in Piketon just north of Portsmouth OH.

We will start this event in Portsmouth Ohio and end at the Y-12 Plant in Oakridge TN. Meeting up with a walk coming from Atlanta GA organized by Nipponzan Myohoji.

Join us in the 7th Annual Prayer Vigil
The Hiroshima-Nagasaki Day
2 Venues:
Mobilization of Communities for the Elimination of design, manufacture, use and proliferation of Weapon of Mass Destruction

On August 6, 1945 first time ever Atomic Bomb was used to kill the innocent human beings, men, women and children, residents of Hiroshima and as if it was not enough, on August 9, 1945 another Atomic Bomb was used to kill the innocent residence of Nagasaki. We should always remember these days and the horror of war especially the horror of nuclear devastation. We should mobilize our communities at home and in the world to rise up against the design, manufacture, use and proliferation of Weapon of Mass Destruction including chemical, biological, and Nuclear weapon and the use of Depleted Uranium. War is a deception! And it does not solve any problem and issue. It only kills innocent people and spread devastation across this earth.
