With our awareness of the depth of the Fukushima disaster, as well as the

possibilities of numerous other potential nuclear problems, we welcome

the courageous Dr. Caldicott to our TMRN Roundtable

The single most articulate and passionate advocate of citizen action to

remedythe nuclear and environmental crises, Dr Helen Caldicott, has

devoted thelast 38 years to an international campaign to educate

the public about the medical hazards of the nuclear age and the necessary

changes in human behavior to stop environmental destruction.

Born in Melbourne, Australia in 1938, Dr Caldicott received her medical

degree from the University of Adelaide Medical School in 1961. She founded the

Cystic Fibrosis Clinic at the Adelaide Children’s Hospital in 1975 and subsequently

was an instructor in pediatrics at Harvard Medical School and on the staff of the

Children’s Hospital Medical Center, Boston, Mass., until 1980 when

she resigned to work full time on the prevention of nuclear war.

In 1971, Dr Caldicott played a major role in Australia’s opposition to French

atmospheric nuclear testing in the Pacific; in 1975 she worked with the Australian

trade unions to educate their members about the medical dangers of the

nuclear fuel cycle, with particular reference to uranium mining.

While living in the United States from 1977 to 1986, she co-founded the

Physicians for Social Responsibility, an organization of 23,000 doctors

committed to educating their colleagues about the dangers of nuclear power,

nuclear weapons and nuclear war. On trips abroad she helped start similar

medical organizations in many other countries. The international umbrella

group (International Physicians for the Prevention of Nuclear War)

won the Nobel Peace Prize in 1985. She also founded the

Women’s Action for Nuclear Disarmament (WAND) in the US in 1980.

Dr Caldicott has received many prizes and awards for her work,

including the Lannan Foundation’s 2003 Prize for Cultural Freedom and

21 honorary doctoral degrees, and she was personally nominated for the

Nobel Peace Prize by Linus Pauling – himself a Nobel Laureate. The Smithsonian

has named Dr Caldicott as one of the most influential women of the 20th Century.

She has written for numerous publications and has authored seven books,

Nuclear Madness, Missile Envy, If You Love This Planet:

A Plan to Heal the Earth (1992, W.W. Norton) and

A Desperate Passion: An Autobiography (1996, W.W. Norton;

published as A Passionate Life in Australia by Random House),

The New Nuclear Danger: George Bush’s Military Industrial Complex

(2001, The New Press in the US, UK and UK; Scribe Publishing in Australia

and New Zealand; Lemniscaat Publishers in The Netherlands; and

Hugendubel Verlag in Germany), Nuclear Power is Not the Answer (2006,

The New Press in the US, UK and UK; Melbourne University Press in Australia)

and War In Heaven (March 2007). Dr. Caldicott’s most recent book is the

revised and updated If You Love This Planet (March 2009).

Dr Caldicott currently divides her time between Australia and the US where

she lectures widely. She founded the US-based Nuclear Policy

Research Institute (NPRI), which evolved into Beyond Nuclear.

Currently, Dr Caldicott is President of

The Helen Caldicott Foundation/NuclearFreePlanet.org,

an educational outreach project that informs people of the dangers

of nuclear power and weapons. The mission of the Foundation is

education to action, and the promotion of a nuclear energy and

weaponsfree, renewable energy powered, world.

Dr Caldicott can be heard discussing urgent planetary survival issues

on her weekly radio show If You Love This Planet, and is the Founder and

Spokesperson for People for a Nuclear-Free Australia, established to

represent the millions of Australians who uphold the strong belief

that there should be no uranium mining, nuclear power plants or

foreign nuclear waste in Australia.
