This document is a letter or statement arguing against the proliferation of nuclear power reactors, asserting that they facilitate the production of plutonium for atomic bombs and that the global community should instead focus on energy efficiency and renewable energy transitions.

• The author argues that selling giant nuclear power reactors is dangerous because these reactors produce enough plutonium per reactor-year to create dozens of atomic bombs, meaning any country with a power reactor or a large research reactor can manufacture atomic bombs if it chooses.
• To prevent the proliferation of atomic bombs, the author suggests that countries should avoid becoming dependent on nuclear technologies and instead prioritize improving energy efficiency and deploying transitional fossil-fuel technologies to allow time for a switch to energy income sources like sun, wind, and organic conversion.
• The author claims that studies in countries such as Japan and Denmark demonstrate that alternatives to nuclear power are viable, even for nations that are fuel-poor.
