The want it to stop

 Hello blogger i am going to do are blog about The want it to stop


nuclear powered warships visiting? 4. How did the yachts protest to stop the tests? 5. Why do you think the secret agents came to New 
Zealand and were they successful? 6. Many countries have nuclear power stations. Why do 
you think we don't have them in Aotearoa New Zealand? 
In the 1970s and 1980s the New Zealand government and Greenpeace wanted to stop France testing nuclear bombs on the Pacific island of Mururoa Atoll. They also wanted to stop American nuclear warships visiting New Zealand. People were worried about nuclear poisons in the Pacific Ocean and nuclear accidents in our harbours
Many protest yachts sailed to up Mururoa and right into the test sites. French sailors attacked the yachts, beating up the protestors and putting some of them in jail, France kept on testing and contaminating (poisoning) the water. In February 1985, the government banned American warship visits.
