Anti-nuclear movement in Russia

User:Jsuarez0458/sandbox Peer Reviewed by Anthony Voto-Bernales Include some type of backstory on what exactly caused this and whose fault it was when, so readers know.The first nuclear power plant was built in 1954 and it was the five MWe Obninsk Reactor or also known as the Obninsk Nuclear Power Plant. In the several years leading after Reword 1954, Russia began building more nuclear power plants and by the mid-1980s (Include dates, &Maybe reword Russia had twenty-five power reactors . Now, Russia has about ten nuclear power plants and thirty-one operating reactors. With these new nuclear power plants and reactors, eight out of the ten nuclear power plants can be found in the European part of Russia. (Dont start sentence with and)And in the Eastern part of Urals, you are able to find the other two nuclear power plants.

Russia has a long history of nuclear power plants and it was beneficial to the country when it first began but the view quickly changed a (Delete this A) in the post-Chernobyl period (Source?). On April 26, 1986 when the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant malfunctioned, it gave birth the the anti-nuclear movement in Russia and many anti-nuclear organizations emerged in the USSR. Many of these anti-nuclear protest or activities took place in the 1980 which motivated people to pursue the anti-nuclear law which was later to be found to be short lived due to the collapse of the Soviet UnionTime frame. In the earlier years of the anti-nuclear movement, there were several activists that followed thorough agendas to help them pursue the big dream of becoming an anti-nuclear country.

Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty
The Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty has helped the anti-nuclear movement in Russia. It has requirements that help to reduce or completely remove all types of nuclear weapons. The Strategic Arms Reduction Talks Treaty (START),the talks would assist in getting rid of the part and significance of nuclear weapons not only in the military, but also in security policies.

Rostov Nuclear Power Plant
Around the 1970s Russia began to construct the Rostov Nuclear Power Plant, whic FIX was in the pre-Chernobyl era. After locals from the nearby town of Volgodonsk learned that the nuclear reactor being built was on an active earthquake fault line, they began to protest. The power plant’s radioactive wastewater would create potent (opinion) water which would go into the town’s drinking water. Due to the townspeople Add apostrophe  protest, the construction of the nuclear power plant was canceled cancelled*.

Several years later in 1996, the nuclear power ministry (Capitalize) of Russia announced that they were going to continue with their plans to start construction of the nuclear power plant in Rostov and have it opened for action by 1998. (A bit awkward maybe rephrase)Though the protest against building the power plant began again on July 27. Around seventy protesters from Russia and several other countries nearby protested near the road of where the plant was going to be built. The protesters barricaded the road by handcuffing themselves to barrels of concreteadd period so no run on these young maybe take it out kind of opinion protesters called themselves the Rainbow Keepers. About two days later, around five-hundred Rostov workers were sent out to stop the protesters. The workers attacked the non-threatening protesters change to peaceful protest by setting their tents on fire and burning them to the ground. Many approximate amount? men and women were severely beaten. Five of the seventy Rainbow Keepers were hospitalized due to brain injuries.

Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant
In Russia, the first reactor was known as the which was Leningrad Nuclear Power Add thePlant being built in Sosnovy Bor. The Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant had many incidents that caused people to die due to radiation. This caused people to feel upset about what was being done after the deaths of many civilians. It soon became a protest which was known as the Nuclear Monsters’ protest of the Leningrad.

Voronezh Nuclear Heating Plant
During a protest in March of 1999 against the construction of the planned delete Voronezh nuclear power plant, there were three people that were arrested. That same day, the Eurasian anti-nuclear networking conference was being held in the city Voronezh. Due to the conference, a protest was supported awk by local residents those of whom voted against the 1990 referendum. The referendum of 1990 was what stopped the nuclear heating plant from being built, though now there has been some conflict with the decision on the power plant to be reserved.

Reactors Prevented from being Built
amountSeveral nuclear reactors were prevented from being built due to the efforts of anti-nuclear activist from 1988 to 1992. The construction of reactors below were prevented:

(Sources for all of them??)
 * Reactor number 1 of the Kostroma NPP
 * Reactors number 3 and 4 of the Kaliningrad NPP
 * Reactor number 4 of the Beloyarsk NPP
 * Reactors number 1 and 2 of the Rostov NPP
 * Reactor number 5 of the Kursk NPP.

Vladimir Slivyak
Right after a bombing in Moscow on September 6, 1999, several anti-nuclear activists were detained. Vladimir Slivyak an activist in the anti-nuclear movement and a Voronezh action camp organizer was pushed into a car by several men who claimed to be Moscow police. The police interrogated and threatened Slivyak for around ninety minutes before letting him go. The Moscow police thought environmentalists from the anti-nuclear movement were with the bombing since an explosion happened on August 31 at Manezh Palace in Moscow. After the explosion on August 31, several more bombings occurred which agitated many people which (I believe this is supposed to be led not lead)lead to the racially profiled arrest of dark-skinned Muscovites and visitors to the Russian capital.

Professor Yablokov
Russian scientists were reported by an anti-nuclear activist named Yablokov in 2010. In Russia, one of Professor Yablokov ’s colleagues, Professor Busby petitioned to the European Union Parliament. His petition was to reconsider the standards of basic safety. Many of Prof. Yablokov’s colleagues and himself were confident enough that the standards of radiation requirements were not providing accurate data. According to Prof. Yablokov and his colleagues, one of the main consequences of the nuclear accident, Chernobyl was thyroid cancer. There was a great increase in not only thyroid cancer (Reference Thyroid cancer article) but many more diseases relating back to radiation (Saenko et al. 2011). Prof. Yablokov and his colleagues asked to report the impacts of how much radiation has impacted the lives of many civilians before and after the accident. There were two major differences between the numbers of pre-Chernobyl and post-Chernobyl. They showed the number of reports being made due to cancer, leukemia and psychological disorders (Yablokov et al. 2010). In addition to the reports being made, it already was difficult enough to prove that radiation was the only cause of the increase of these diseases.

Try to make it more Clear what you're talking about in the fist paragraph if I didn't know what this was about i would be a little confused.

'''If sections have an article already written on them only create a small section to it or it is repetitive information. '''

'''Well good job overall on the article, I believe you can reword some things to make them sound better but overall this is a great article and you guys should be very proud! Great Job!!!'''
