My Place... Jewellery Box - Fran Allison Wed, 5 Jun 13 - Sat, 29 Jun 13 Masterworks Gallery Ponsonby Between 1966 and 1996 France undertook 181 nuclear weapon tests at Mururoa Atoll/Aopuni. At the time a huge toll was paid in health, lives and livelihood. Twenty-five years on, the atoll is now unstable and apparently could collapse into the sea at any time. Its collapse would release radioactivity into the surrounding area, spreading contamination across the Pacific as far as Peru and New Zealand and triggering tsunamis predicted to be 15 meters high. (The Epoch Times, August 2012) The atoll is still guarded by French forces. Fran Allison May 2013
