from Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

The organizations til Oplysning om Atomkraft (OOA), (German "Organization for the education about nuclear power") was an organization against the introduction of civilian use of nuclear energy in Denmark .

The smiling sun in the original Danish version

The OOA was founded in 1974 when, in the wake of the energy crisis in the 1970s, there were discussions in Denmark about building nuclear power plants. The aim of the OOA was to prevent this. The motif of a smiling sun with the slogan Atomkraft - No Thanks, which she developed and which was also very popular in the German anti-nuclear movement, proved to be particularly successful internationally . She achieved her goals on March 29, 1985, when a corresponding resolution was passed in the Danish parliament, the Folketing . After that, the actions of the OOA against the 20 concentrated km from the Danish capital Copenhagen from lying barsebäck nuclear power plant in Sweden . In 1999 the first of the two units of this power plant was shut down, and the second followed in 2005.

On May 31, 2000, the OOA dissolved after 26 years.
