Leuren Moret was an Expert Witness at the International Criminal
Tribunal For Afghanistan At Tokyo. She is an independent scientist and
international expert on radiation and public health issues. She is on
the organizing committee of the World Committee on Radiation Risk, an
organization of independent radiation specialists, including members of
the Radiation Committee in the EU parliament, the European Committee on
Radiation Risk. She is an environmental commissioner for the City of
Berkeley. Ms. Moret earned her BS in geology at U.C. Davis in 1968 and
her MA in Near Eastern studies from U.C. Berkeley in 1978. She has
completed all but her dissertation for a PhD in the geosciences at U.C.
Davis. She has traveled and conducted scientific research in 42
countries. She contributed to a scientific report on depleted uranium
for the United Nations sub commission investigating the illegality of
depleted uranium munitions. Marion Fulk, a former Manhattan Project
scientist and retired insider at the Livermore Lab, who is an expert on
radioactive fallout and rainout, has trained her on radiation issues.
Leuren
Moret has conducted research concerning the impact on the health of the
environment and global public health from atmospheric testing, nuclear
power plants, and depleted uranium. She has helped collect and measure
radiation in 6000 baby teeth from children living around nuclear power
plants, and helped The State of Louisiana (USA) pass the first state
depleted uranium bill for mandatory testing of soldiers.
Articles
she wrote on DU were translated into Indian languages to increase
awareness. Her article "Depleted Uranium: The Trojan Horse of Nuclear
War" in the June 2004 WORLD AFFAIRS JOURNAL was translated at the
request of the Kremlin for distribution throughout the Russian
government. The LONE STAR ICONOCLAST, hometown newspaper of President
Bush, interviewed her for a series of interviews, "What is depleted
uranium?", which are now attached to US Congressman McDermott's 2005
depleted uranium bill HR 2410 in the US Congress. The newspaper did a
second issue, March 1, 2006, titled "Have DU Will Travel". Her City of
Berkeley 2003 resolution banning weapons in space was followed by a
Space Preservation Treaty Resolution adopted by seven sister cities in
British Columbia, Canada, contributing to Prime Minister Paul Martin's
decision in February 2005 to abandon his secret agreement with
President Bush to allow NMD in Canada.
Her research on divestment of
pension funds from US weapons manufacturers was discussed on a
Vancouver radio station in April 2005. The interview helped to make
divestment, of $4.6 billion (in 251 US weapons manufacturers) in
British Columbia (BC) pension funds, an issue for the May 2005 election
platform in BC.
Leuren Moret is a Livermore nuclear weapons lab
whistleblower, an Environmental Commissioner in the City of Berkeley,
and testifies as a depleted uranium expert in the new documentary film
BEYOND TREASON.
