Nuclear power Irish CND opposes nuclear power as civil nuclear power cannot be separated from nuclear weapons. Europe and the Nuclear Energy Debate is a report to the Irish CND AGM 1998 on a conference held in Vienna. Under the title "a million Europeans demand the exit of nuclear power", many associations, trade unions and European groups have started a petition campaign.
