Moruroa, French Polynesia, French Nuclear Testing Zone. The History, and Environmental Information. A Book on Moruroa Environment. On July 2, 1966 the calm of French Polynesia's Mururoa atoll was shattered by an explosion of unbelievable force. Within a second, the azure tropical sky flashed bright orange, and was ruptured by a towering radioactive cloud that mushroomed into the atmosphere; the placid lagoon was stirred into a tempestuous cauldron, while the coconut trees on the white sand islets were bent by the sheer force of the nuclear explosion. "It's beautiful," said President Charles de Gaulle at the sight of the first of France's 193 nuclear tests in the South Pacific. But for French Polynesia and many of its people, the fallout from decades of nuclear weapons testing is still being dealt with 50 years after the first test

"During the last thirty years thousands of Polynesian men and boys worked at Moruroa and Fangataufa, the two atolls in the Pacific where France conducted its nuclear tests. A curtain of silence has so far existed around their experiences, motivations and anxieties. In this report a representative number of former workers and islanders living in the vicinity of the test sites speak out. Their hidden histories and problems are revealed." -- Back cover.

"... French nuclear testing at Moruroa Atoll is of particular concern to the peoples of the Pacific. At first the tests were conducted in the atmosphere, and detectable amounts of radiatio were recorded as far away as New Zealand. Since the mid 1970s, however, the tests have been conducted underground. Coral atolls are not designed to withstand nuclear explosions, and it is no surprise that severe fracturing of the atoll should occur. Releases of radioactivity through these fractures are not measured. However, it is inconceivable that they do not occur -- and it is not the people of France, but the peoples of the Pacific who are being affected. The campaign against the French nuclear testing at Moruroa Atoll is, however, just one small part of a much larger campaign. That campaign will end when there are no more nuclear weapons anywhere, when the world is in peace, when the human race lives in harmony with its environment." -- Introduction.

"This book is based on interview with people who have worked at Moruroa, or who live on islands near the site. It describes the effects of the nuclear test programme on their lives, and the lives of their families and friends. The interviews took place in 1987, when Dr Andy Biedermann, a Swiss doctor and crew member of the Greenpeace campaign ship Rainbow Warrior in 1985, made two trips to Polynesia, visiting Tahiti and some of the outer islands. At the end of his stay, Dr Biedermann was expelled from the territory for alleged "interference" in French defence affairs. Most of the people interviewed are Polynesian ... This is the first time many of them have spoken out about their experiences. Many fear the possibility of official repercussions, and so their names have been changed to protect them. They describe the environmental and health problems they have witnessed since the test programme began, and the effects it has wrought on their society ..." -- Introduction.

A fascinating, comprehensive history of French colonialism After Moruroa looks at the history of French colonialism in the Pacific—from the French Revolution to the Matignon Accords in New Caledonia and the end of nuclear testing at Moruroa and Fangataufa atolls. What is the future for France’s Pacific colonies? As France integrates further with the European Union, can it retain ties with Pacific islands on the other side of the world? How will political changes in New Caledonia and a growing independence movement in French Polynesia impact on Paris? Nic Maclellan and Jean Chesneaux review the social, cultural, political and environmental impact of France’s presence in the region. They document French policy over two centuries, drawing on sources from Europe, Australia and the Pacific. With France’s “Grand Design” for the Pacific under challenge today, this authoritative study looks at the future for the South Pacific—after Moruroa. Nic Maclellan has worked as a journalist, researcher and community development worker in the Pacific islands. He currently works with the Pacific Concerns Resource Centre (PCRC) in Suva, Fiji. He has written widely on development, environment and disarmament issues, and is co-author, with Jean Chesneaux, of La France dans le Pacifique: De Bougainville à Moruroa (Editions la Découverte, Paris, 1992). Jean Chesneaux is emeritus professor of Asian and Pacific History at the Sorbonne (Université de Paris VII). He has traveled extensively the Pacific region since 1970. His recent publications include: Transpacifiques (Editions la Découverte, Paris, 1987), Brave Modern World (Thames and Hudson, London, 1993) and Abiter le temps (Bayard, Paris, 1996).

Fourteen boats sail against winter gales from New Zealand through the Roaring Forties to a South Pacific atoll to join a small flotilla protesting against nuclear weapons testing. For 30 days, JOIE and crew withstand aggressive intimidation from a hostile French Navy, gear failure, and storms. This three-month, 6,000-mile voyage is an amazing achievement in high-action sailing.
