Nuclear-Free Future Award

from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The Nuclear-Free Future Award  (NFFA) is a prize from the Munich-based Nuclear-Free Future Award Foundation . It has been awarded worldwide since 1998 to people who successfully campaign for a world without nuclear weapons and nuclear energy .

Intention and story

The prize is usually awarded annually in the three categories " Resistance ", "Enlightenment" and "Solutions", each endowed with $ 10,000. There are also honorary prizes for life's work . The award ceremony goes around the world.

The foundation was established in 1998 as the Franz Moll Foundation for the coming generations (Initiative Nuclear Free Future ). This was preceded by the World Uranium Hearing from September 13th to 18th, 1992 in Salzburg , where the first award ceremony took place. In September 2013 the foundation was renamed the Nuclear-Free Future Award Foundation .

The price is financed exclusively from donations, benefit concerts and auctions. The central demand of the NFFA is: "The uranium must stay in the earth!"
