To capture in images the toxic peril radiating from each step of the uranium cycle is the goal of the international 'Atomic Photographers Guild,' founded by Robert Del Tredici. These artists need no backdrop of human calamity the likes of Chernobyl – their images open our eyes to the deadly curse that haunts our every day. Two guild members, Yuri I. Kuidin from Kazakhstan and Japan's Kenji Higuchi, are recipients of the Nuclear-Free Future Award.

Statement of Mission


The Nuclear Age is no geological era –
it's a creation of humankind.

Since 1998 the Nuclear-Free Future Award has honored and helped facilitate the on-going work of individuals and initiatives struggling to undo this mad juncture of time for the sake of the coming generations. Our central message: leave the uranium in the earth !

Our laureates are heroes and heroines working to pull the plug on nuclear power, or to pound nuclear warheads into plowshares. Many are the visionaries and architects of a future lived in sustainable harmony with the earth, men and women energetically seeding fresh solutions.

The Nuclear Age was begun by humankind –
together we can make it good, see it undone.
