Nuclear-Free Future Award

Nuclear-Free Future Award

Since 1998 the Nuclear-Free Future Award (NFFA) is an award given to anti-nuclear activists, organizations and communities. The award is intended to promote the opposition to uranium mining, nuclear weapons and nuclear power.[1]

The NFFA is a project of the Franz Moll Foundation and in 2007 gave out awards in four categories: Opposition ($10,000 prize), Education ($10,000 prize), Solutions ($10,000 prize), and Lifetime Achievement (contemporary work of art). The 2007 Awards ceremony, hosted by the state government of Salzburg, Austria, took place at the Archbishop's Palace on 18 October.[1]
