Icala Lokubhidliza Izikhali ZeNyukliya Lichithiwe - Inkantolo Ithi Isinqumo Sejaji Besingenangqondo

NguJohn LaForge

Inkantolo Yokudlulisa amacala iwahoxile amacala okucekela phansi izishoshovu zokuthula u-Greg-Boertje-Obed, waseDuluth, Min., kanye nabamangalelwa kanye naye uMichael Walli waseWashington, DC, kanye no-Sr. Megan Rice waseNew York City. Isi-6^th Inkantolo Yesifunda Yokudlulisa Amacala ithole ukuthi abashushisi bombuso bahlulekile ukufakazela - nokuthi "akukho jaji eliphusile elingathola" - ukuthi laba abathathu babehlose ukulimaza "ukuzivikela kuzwelonke."

NgoJulayi 2012, u-Greg, uMichael no-Megan badabula ezicingweni ezine bahamba baze bafika “ku-Fort Knox” ye-uranium yezinga lezikhali, Indawo Ethuthukisiwe Yezinto Ze-Uranium Ethuthukisiwe ngaphakathi kwesakhiwo se-Y-12 e-Oak Ridge, e-Tenn. I-uranium icutshungulwa lapho. ibeka u-“H” kumabhomu ethu e-H. Emahoreni amathathu ngaphambi kokuba zibonwe, ababhubhisi bezikhali zenuzi bapenda “Maye Embusweni Wegazi” nezinye iziqubulo ezakhiweni ezimbalwa, amabhanela anqunyiwe, futhi bagubha inhlanhla yabo yokubamba uhlelo lwezikhali zenuzi belele esondweni. Lapho unogada efika kubo, bamnika isinkwa.

Batholwa benecala ngoMeyi 2013 lokucekela phansi impahla nokucekela phansi impahla futhi bagqunywe ejele kusukela lapho. UBoertji-Obed, 59, kanye noWalli, 66, bobabili bagwetshwe izinyanga ezingama-62 ekugwetshweni ngakunye, ukuze bagijime kanye kanye; kanye no-Sr. Megan, oneminyaka engama-82, wanikwa izinyanga ezingama-35 esibalweni ngasinye, naye esebenza kanyekanye.

Imibuzo mayelana nesimo esingokomthetho sezikhali zenuzi yayingekho ekhalazweni, kodwa kunalokho yayimayelana nokuthi uMthetho Wokucekela phansi uyasebenza yini kubabhikishi bokuthula abangalimazi nhlobo izikhali. Phakathi nempikiswano yomlomo yesikhalazo, umshushisi waphikelela ngokuthi lezi zakhamuzi ezintathu esezikhulile “ziphazamise ukuzivikela.” Ijaji Lesifunda uRaymond Kethledge wabuza ngokungananazi, “Nelofu yesinkwa?”

Umbono obhaliwe weNkantolo, noweJaji u-Kethledge, wawuhleka usulu umqondo wokuveza ababhikishi abanokuthula njengababhidlizi. “Akwanele ngohulumeni ukuthi akhulume ngocingo olubiyelwe…” Uhulumeni kufanele aveze ubufakazi bokuthi izenzo zommangalelwa “zazihloselwe noma ziqinisekile” ukuphazamisa “ikhono lesizwe lokulwa noma ukuzivikela ekuhlaselweni.” UGreg, uMegan noMichael, inkantolo yathi, “akenzanga lutho olunjalo,” ngakho, “uhulumeni akazange abonise abamangalelwa benecala lokucekela phansi.” Umbono waze wathi, "Awekho amajaji anengqondo angathola ukuthi abamangalelwa babenaleyo nhloso ngesikhathi besika uthango." Iphuzu alinasimilo ngendlela eshaqisayo ekuchazeni kwalo okuqondile kokufinyelela ngokweqile komshushisi kanye nokukhohlisa amajaji.

Esinye isizathu sokuthi iNkantolo Yokudlulisa Amacala ihoxise ukugwetshwa kwecala lokucekela phansi impahla ukuthi incazelo engokomthetho yeNkantolo Ephakeme “yokuvikela kuzwelonke” ayicacile futhi ayinembile, “umqondo ojwayelekile wezincazelo ezibanzi…” INkantolo ithe idinga incazelo “ebambekayo kakhudlwana” ngoba, “ayicacile. imibono mayelana 'nendima ebalulekile yesikhungo ekuvikelweni kuzwelonke' azanele ukulahla ummangalelwa ngecala lokucekela phansi. Futhi yilokho kuphela uhulumeni akunikezayo lapha. ” Incazelo yayijwayelekile futhi ingacacile, iNkantolo yathi, ayisebenzi kangako kuMthetho Wokubhuqa, njengoba, “Kunzima ukunquma ukuthi kungakanani inani 'lokuphazamisa' 'komqondo ojwayelekile'."

Ukugwetshwa kabusha kungase kubangele "isikhathi esinikezwe" kanye nokukhululwa

INkantolo yathatha isinyathelo esengeziwe nesingajwayelekile sokuchitha izigwebo zasejele ngenxa yokucekela phansi kanye nokulimaza abantu.pert izigwebo, nakuba ukugwetshwa okuncane kusamile. Lokhu kwakungenxa yokuthi izigwebo ezinzima zasejele ezinikezwe ukucekela phansi impahla zazinesisindo esikhulu uma kubhekwa isigwebo (esitholakale ngokungemthetho) sokucekela phansi. Umphumela uba ukuthi laba abathathu abalwela ukuthula bazophinde bagwetshwe futhi bangase bakhululwe. Njengoba iNkantolo Yokudluliswa Kwamacala yasho: “Kubonakala sengathi [isigwebo] … ngenxa [yokucekela phansi impahla] ukugwetshwa kwabo kuzoba ngaphansi kakhulu kunesikhathi abasisebenzisile kakade esitokisini sikahulumeni.”

Uma umshushisi wombuso engakuphonseli inselele ukuguqulwa kokushisekela kwakhe ngokweqile, futhi enye inkantolo ephakeme ingakuhoxisi u-6.^th Isinqumo sesekethe, laba bobathathu bangakhululwa ngoJulayi noma maduze.

Isimo esiseqophelweni eliphezulu sokunothiswa kwe-uranium e-Oak Ridge, kanye nokuba sengozini kwesiza kubantu abadala, kulethe ukunaka okukhulu kwabezindaba kuleli cala, elivezwe ophenyweni olude yiWashington Post, The New Yorker nabanye. Isenzo, esaziwa ngokuthi “I-Transformation Now Plowshares,” siphinde sasiza embula ukuziphatha okubi okuyihlazo kanye nobubi phakathi kosonkontileka bezokuphepha e-Y-12/Oak Ridge complex. Ngokungangabazeki futhi ngokuxakayo, lawa ma-pacifist cishe aqinisa ukuzivikela kwezwe.

Okuhlala kungakhanyi wuhlelo lwe-White House lokusebenzisa ama- $ 1 trillion ezindaweni zokukhiqiza izikhali ezintsha eminyakeni engama-30 ezayo - amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane ezingama-35 ngonyaka iminyaka engamashumi amathathu. Iqhaza Lendawo Ecetshiswe Kakhulu Yezinto Ze-Uranium kulokhu kukhiqizwa kweBhomu - ukwephulwa okusobala kweSivumelwano Sokungabhebhetheki KweNuclear - yaqanjwa ngegazi isenzo sePlowshares, kodwa ibhizinisi lebhomu le-H liyaqhubekela phambili. Ababhikishi bazohlangana esizeni futhi Aug. 6.
