Dr. Rudolf Virchow, one of the founders of scientific medicine,
said that "Medicine is a social science, and politics is nothing
more than medicine on a large scale." Beyond caring for the sick,
doctors have played an important role in calling attention to the
social determinants of health. International physicians for the
prevention of nuclear war (IPPNW) played a pivotal role in the
cessation of atmospheric nuclear weapons testing at the height of
the cold war. This anti-weapons activism later came to be
directed towards civilian nuclear energy by the likes of
anti-nuclear crusader Dr. Helen Caldicott who is well known for
her unwillingness to back up her outlandish claims with
scientific evidence. Doctors for Nuclear Energy is a new
international group of physicians who argue that nuclear energy
is a keystone technology for the elimination of air pollution and
CO2 emissions. Co-founders Dr. Van Der Merwe and Dr. Keefer share
their perspectives on relative risk assessment, radiophobia and
its public health consequences and our clean energy future.
