smiling sun, nuclear power no thanks

The OOA Fund (in Danish: OOA Fonden) is a Danish entity established by the Danish movement against nuclear power. The decision to establish the OOA Fund was taken during the very last national meeting of the OOA (Organisationen til Oplysning om Atomkraft = Organisation for Information on Nuclear Power) on 1^st April 2000 in Copenhagen. It is closely linked to another decision by the same meeting, to dissolve the OOA effective from 31^st May 2000. This decision recognised that OOA from its founding on 31^st January 1974 succesfully had campaigned against introduction of nuclear power in Denmark and achieved the closing down of the two reactors of the neighbouring Barsebäck nuclear power plant in Sweden.

The primary purpose of the OOA Fund is on a non-profit basis to secure and maintain the rights of the OOA, especially any copyrights and other rights related to the Smiling Sun logo, expressing the message NUCLEAR POWER? – NO THANKS in whichever language. The OOA Fund is managed by a 5 member board including a legal advisor.

Following a period of activities related to closing down of the OOA, the OOA Fund was formally established on 1^st July 2002. The Danish Civil Rights Authority (Civilretsdirektoratet) has on 12^th December 2002 acknowledged the establishment of the OOA Fonden.
