The Platform Against Nuclear Dangers Salzburg (PLAGE) (German: Plattform gegen Atomgefahren Salzburg) is an anti-nuclear organization in Salzburg (Austria). It is part of the Anti-nuclear movement in Austria and is committed, among other things, to the withdrawal from the Euratom Treaty and to renewable energies. The PLAGE activists also call themselves PLAGE-Geister (nuisances).

History

The PLAGE was founded on May 20, 1986, shortly after the Chernobyl disaster (April 26, 1986), as a Salzburg platform against the Wackersdorf reprocessing plant (WAA) (Überparteiliche Plattform gegen die WAA Wackersdorf).[1] By 1987, 120,000 Salzburg signatures had been collected against the Bavarian reprocessing plant (a total of almost 900,000 objections, of which 453,000 were from Austria). In the spring of 1989 the decision was made not to build the reprocessing plant. After the WAA collapsed in 1989, the platform was renamed Platform Against Nuclear Dangers Salzburg (PLAGE).

In 2000, PLAGE erected the Wackersdorf Memorial (Salzburg) at Mozartplatz in Salzburg, which commemorates the resistance against the Bavarian Wackersdorf reprocessing plant. The PLAGE honored with the monument Robert Jungk, Archbishop Karl Berg and the civil resistance against the WAA Wackersdorf.[2][3][4]
