Anti-nuclear movement in Russia

'''[There should be a very brief introductory sentence that also summarizes who, what, when, where, why there is a anti-nuclear movement in Russia. For example: "The anti-nuclear movement in Russia is a social movement against nuclear technologies, largely stemming from the results of the Chernobyl incident in 1986.] 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.(1) In the several years leading [up to/before/prior to] 1954, Russia began building more nuclear power plants, and by the mid-1980s, Russia had twenty-five power reactors.(2) Now(3), 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. [delete]And in the Eastern part of Urals, you are able to find the other two nuclear power plants.(4)'''

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 [???] in the post-Chernobyl period.(5) On April 26, 1986 when the Chernobyl Nuclear Plant malfunctioned, it gave birth [add] to the '''[delete. 2nd '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[s], which motivated people to pursue the anti-nuclear law which[replace with 'that'] was later to be found to be short lived, due to the collapse of the Soviet Union. In the earlier years of the anti-nuclear movement, there were several activists that followed thorough[???] agendas to help them[the movement] pursue the big dream[goal] of becoming an anti-nuclear[denuclearized] 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.(6)

Protest
Rostov Nuclear Power Plant Around the 1970s, Russia began to construct the Rostov Nuclear Power Plant, which 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 water which would go into the town’s drinking water.(7) Due to the townspeople's protest, the construction of the nuclear power plant was canceled .

Several years later in 1996, the nuclear power ministry 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. However, the protest against building the power plant began again on July 27, of the same year. 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 '''concrete. These young 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[peaceful?] protesters by setting their tents on fire and burning them to the ground. Many 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[???delete???] Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant, '''being[delete. "which was"]''' built in Sosnovy Bor. The Leningrad Nuclear Power Plant had many incidents that caused people to die due to radiation.(8) 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 Voronezh nuclear power plant, there were three people that were arrested.(9) That same day, the Eurasian anti-nuclear networking conference was being held in the city of Voronezh. Due to the conference, a protest was supported by local residents, those of whom voted against the 1990 referendum.(10) The referendum of 1990 was what stopped the nuclear heating'''[??? only for heating?] plant from being built, though now[ambiguous time reference]''' there has been some conflict with the decision on the power plant to be reserved.

Reactors Prevented from being Built
Several nuclear reactors were prevented from being built due to the efforts of anti-nuclear activist from 1988 to 1992. The ["planned (construction of the)"?] reactors below were prevented[cancelled]:

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.(11) 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.(12) 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 ["earlier/a previous"] '''explosion["bombing." Explosions can be accidental, where bombings are intentional] happened["occurred"]''' on August 31 at Manezh Palace in Moscow. After the explosion["incident,"or as noted] on August 31, several more bombings occurred which agitated many people, leading 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.(13) 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.(14) 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 in/of Chernobyl was thyroid cancer. There was a great increase in not only thyroid cancer 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[delete] radiation [on] the lives of many[delete] civilians before and after the accident. There were two major differences between the numbers of pre-Chernobyl and post-Chernobyl. They[???who/what???] 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 was already difficult enough to prove that radiation was the only cause of the increase of these diseases.

=========================================================================================== (1) Please rephrase for clarity, as well as explain "MWe". Suggestion: The first nuclear power plant in Russia was built in 1954, a 5 MWe reactor in Obninsk.

(2) Rephrase for clarity: What kind of "power"? wind power? Nuclear coal? Cole power? The word "reactor" implies "nuclear," and so "power" may be omitted.

(3) "Now". Someone can access wikipedia decades later from when you post this. You should have a more solid frame of reference, such as "As of 2018,"

(4) Remove second-person perspective, i.e. "... two other reactors can be found." Better yet, combine this sentence with the previous one.

(5) Run-on.

(6) Clarify; how would it do that? What do you mean by getting rid of the part?

(7) Clarify; potent? the water is strong??? maybe you mean "potentially dangerous?"

(8) Clarify; How? did people fall into the nuclear reactors? waste water mishandled? poor radiation shielding?

(9) Clarify: Why were they arrested?

(10) Ambiguous. All of the attendees voted against the referendum, or only a few? [Suggested revision]: "...residents, and among those were several that voted against the 1990 referendum."

(11)Clarify: do you mean to say that the activists were responsible for the bombing, and so they were arrested? You should note that: "... detained under suspicion of...(planting the bomb/planning/coordinating/conspiracy to)"

(12) Clarify: is it Slivyak only, (who himself was both the activist and camp leader), or was it Slivyak and an unnamed camp leader that were pushed into a car?

(13) Clarify: reported doing what, and for what?

(14) Clarify: standards for basic safety of what? — Preceding unsigned comment added by Asaelee0438 (talk • contribs) 22:21, 19 April 2018 (UTC)
