Collaboration with: T5.4-P20 Nuclear Pacific: An International Public Inquiry on French Nuclear Testing in French Polynesia Nabil Ahmed (Forensic Architecture, Goldsmith University of London) [email protected], Olga Lucko (architect) [email protected] NUCLEAR PACIFIC INVESTIGATION: MURUROA AND FANGATAUFA ATOLL FORUM United States, France and Britain conducted over 315 tests France conducted atmospheric and underground nuclear sites have become waste sites with former boreholes used According to the United Nations Decolonization Committee We seek to facilitate an international public inquiry and explore in the Marshall Islands, French Polynesia, Kirimati, and weapons tests on and under the atoll of Mururoa and Fangataufa as waste depositories. It is argued that underground tests in French Polynesia remains a non self-governing territory and possible international legal forums to seek accountability of Australia between the 1940s to the 1990s. The tests have in the Tuamotu Archipelago in French Polynesia between the two atolls have led to the leaching of radioactive material an overseas territory of France. As in other Pacific islands, France to compensate the victims of nuclear testing in French left a legacy of ocean and land contamination, nuclear waste, 1966 and 1996. Forty four atmospheric tests were carried into the surrounding marine environment. Nongovernmental there has been a popular anti-nuclear movement in French Polynesia as well as the Pacific environment, using the law displacement and intergenerational health impacts on island out between 1966 and 1974, seventy eight underground groups claim that lasting damage has been made to the Polynesia led initially by independentist leaders such as of Ecocide or Crimes Against Nature. populations and workers employed in the nuclear industrial tests between 1975 and 1986 and further underground tests stability of the atolls as a result of the underground tests.

  • Ancient Magic and Religious Trends of the Rāhui on the Atoll of Anaa, Tuamotu Frédéric Torrente

    Ancient Magic and Religious Trends of the Rāhui on the Atoll of Anaa, Tuamotu Frédéric Torrente

    2 Ancient magic and religious trends of the rāhui on the atoll of Anaa, Tuamotu Frédéric Torrente This paper is based on vernacular material that was obtained from one of the last of the ancient vanaga, masters of pre-Christian lore, Paea-a-Avehe, of Anaa1 Island. Introduction Throughout the last century, in the Tuamotuan archipelago, the technical term rāhui has been applied to ‘sectors’ (secteurs): specified areas where the intensive monoculture of the coconut tree was established, at that time and still today, according to the principle of letting these areas lie fallow between periods of cropping. The religious reasons for this method have been forgotten. The link between Christian conversion and the development of coconut plantations has changed the Tuamotuan atoll’s landscape through the introduction 1 Anaa is the Tahitian name of this atoll (‘Ana’a). In Tuamotuan language, it should be noted ‘Ganaa’ or ‘Ganaia’. This atoll is situated in western Tuamotu, in the Putahi or Parata linguistic area. 25 THE RAHUI of new modes of land occupation and resource management. In old Polynesia, the political and the religious were intertwined, as well as man and his symbolic and ritual environment. Political and social aspects are studied elsewhere in this book. This essay considers the religious and ritual picture of pre-European life on the islands, and shows how religious concepts influenced man in his environment. The Tuamotuan group of islands represents the greatest concentration of atolls worldwide; they are a unique, two-dimensional universe, close to water level and lacking environmental features, such as high ground, that could provide a place of refuge.

    The Effects of the Cyclones of 1983 on the Atolls of the Tuamotu Archipelago (French Polynesia)

    THE EFFECTS OF THE CYCLONES OF 1983 ON THE ATOLLS OF THE TUAMOTU ARCHIPELAGO (FRENCH POLYNESIA) J. F. DUPON ORSTOM (French Institute ofScientific Research for Development through cooperation), 213 Rue Lafayette - 75480 Paris Cedex 10, France Abstract. In the TUAMOTU Archipelago, tropical cyclones may contribute to the destruction as well as to some building up of the atolls. The initial occupation by the Polynesians has not increased the vulnerability of these islands as much as have various recent alterations caused by European influence and the low frequency of the cyclone hazard itself. An unusual series of five cyclones, probably related to the general thermic imbalance of the Pacific Ocean between the tropics struck the group in 1983 and demonstrated this vulnerability through the damage that they caused to the environment and to the plantations and settle­ ments. However, the natural rehabilitation has been faster than expected and the cyclones had a beneficial result in making obvious the need to reinforce prevention measures and the protection of human settle­ ments. An appraisal of how the lack of prevention measures worsened the damage is first attempted, then the rehabilitation and the various steps taken to forestall such damage are described. I. About Atolls and Cyclones: Some General Information Among the islands of the intertropical area of the Pacific Ocean, most of the low-lying lands are atolls. The greatest number of them are found in this part of the world. Most atolls are characterized by a circular string of narrow islets rising only 3 to 10 m above the average ocean level.

    FRENCH NUCLEAR TESTING 1960--French Test in Algeria Brings Radioactive Cloud Across Mediterranean to Europe. 1961

    FRENCH NUCLEAR TESTING 1960--French test in Algeria brings radioactive cloud across Mediterranean to Europe. 1961--French Minister for Overseas Territories says "no nuclear tests will ever be made by France in the Pacific Ocean." 1963--Nuclear Test Ban Treaty (prohibiting atmospheric testing). 1963--France announces its nuclear testing would be moved from Algeria to French Polynesia. 1966-74--41 announced atmospheric tests take place at Moruroa, French Polynesia University of Hawaii School of Law Library - Jon Van Dyke Archives Collection FRENCH NUCLEAR TESTING 1973--New Zealand and Australia file action in International Court of Justice against French atmospheric tests, arguing trespess by radioactive materials over their territory and over the high seas. Court issues preliminary order restraining France from continuing tests while case is being decided. 1974--French President Giscard d' Estaing announces that after 1975 all future tests will be conducted underground. International Court of Justice accepts Frances unilateral commitment, and dismisses case as moot. University of Hawaii School of Law Library - Jon Van Dyke Archives Collection FRENCH NUCLEAR TESTING 1979--Two serious accidents occur at Moruroa--the first one kills two workers and seriously injures four others; the second (caused by the detonation of a bomb that became stuck far above its proper location) caused destruction to the test site and a tidal wave that caused damage to neighboring atolls. 1980 (November 28)--Moruroa severely damaged by cyclone; numerous buildings destroyed; 3,000 workers survive by taking refuge (for 24 hours) on platforms 4.5 meters above surface of the atoll. 1981 (March 11)--A second cyclone hits Moruroa.

    The Large-Scale Spreading of Radioactive Matter in the Ocean

    IAEA-SM-354/57P XA9951304 THE LARGE-SCALE SPREADING OF RADIOACTIVE MATTER IN THE OCEAN Results of a numerical study related to potential releases at the Mururoa/Fangataufa atolls (French Polynesia) EKKEHARD MITTELSTAEDT (BSH) Bundesamt fur Seeschiffahrt und Hydrographie,Hamburg, Germany JOCHEN SEGSCHNEIDER (ECMWF)* European Centre for Medium Range Weather Forecast, Reading, UK A world ocean circulation model was applied together with a tracer dispersion model to study the large-scale effects of potential radioactive releases which might arise at Mururoa and Fangataufa due to the French nuclear tests in the past at these sites. Constant as well as time-dependent radioactive sources have been assumed as input for simulations of the activity concentrations in the South Pacific ocean emanating from the test sites. Two scenarios were envisaged: the total radioactivity released enters the ocean through the lagoon the total radioactivity released enters the ocean sideways at subsurface depths through the karst layer. The karst represents a potential conducting medium for radionuclides coming from the vulcanic formations down below. The circulation model used were developed at the Max- Planck-Institute for Meteorology, Hamburg, to study global climate changes. It is a prognostic OGCM and has a special resolution of 3.5 x 3.5 degrees in the horizontal and 22 layers in the vertical. It provides the input data for the Lagrangian transport model (tracer dispersion model). The horizontal and vertical spreading of the tracers considered due to the large- scale circulation and subgrid-scale mixing is treated by means of Lagrangian partical tracking combined with a Monte Carlo- method .
  • The Effects of Nuclear Testing in French Polynesia Ginger Mckay

    The Effects of Nuclear Testing in French Polynesia Ginger Mckay

    The Effects of Nuclear Testing in French Polynesia Ginger Mckay In some ways, the effects of the French’s government’s nuclear testing in French Polynesia between 1966 and 1995 have been rigorously investigated. Existing research has studied the amount of radiation released in the atmosphere, and its effects on cancer rates. But this research has not been holistic in nature (de Vathaire et al.; Gleize et al.; Challeton-de Vathaire et al.). Scholars and government officials have not addressed the economic impact of nuclear testing on tourism, or the results of economic changes on the health of the indigenous people in French Polynesia. It is important for anthropologists to do ethnographic research in French Polynesia to help study the health issues that may have arisen from the impact of nuclear testing on the local economy, and how these issues might be addressed. To understand the relationship between the economy and the health of this population, we need to understand the lifestyle of the Polynesian people, and how it has changed as a result of government policies. French Polynesia is a territory consisting of five archipelagos: the Marquesas Islands, Austral Islands, Windward Islands, Leeward Islands, and the Tuamotu-Gambier archipelago. Sixty to eighty percent of the inhabitants live in the Society Islands, consisting of the Windward and Leeward Islands and including the island of Tahiti, located about equidistant between California and Australia. (Many people use Tahiti as a general name for all of French Polynesia.) Most of the medical care is located in Papeete, the main city on Tahiti (Gleize et al.; de Vathaire et al.).
