Why were studies canceled?
https://beyondnuclearinternational.org/2023/03/12/why-were-studies-canceled/ “The NAS was considering using new ways of examining the health impacts of radioactivity from NRC licensed sites by implementing a more detailed, more thorough, publicly shared research protocol. Such a protocol could have opened up the NRC’s regulatory regime to exhaustive scrutiny, revealing just how inadequate it is for examining health impacts.” Federal agencies...
Call POTUS now! Stop Willow.
We’re sharing this call to action in solidarity with our friends at Sovereign Iñupiat for a Living Arctic and the People vs Fossil Fuels Coalition: President Biden just approved ConocoPhillips’ Willow project, the massive oil drilling project in the Alaskan Arctic. By greenlighting this major fossil fuel expansion, President Biden is betraying his promises...
Willow Project
This is so serious. I think that Biden just lost the 2024 election for himself and other Democrats by approving this project. I certainly will not vote for a liar and a hypocrite when it comes to climate change. The scope of this project is emense and reverses most of the climate actions taken so far. ...

Tritium and more. Excellent overview of the entire decommissioning process.
https://www.wsws.org/en/articles/2023/02/24/mhus-f24.html “An effective decontamination strategy would be to simply keep the wastewater contained on site to allow the natural decay process to proceed. Retention for approximately 25 years would reduce the quantity of tritium by 75 percent, making release into the environment less problematic. After 60 years, 96.4 percent of the stored tritium would have...

Great messaging on nukes and climate change here
Greetings All — The messages she brings about the fossil fuel industry resonate and match well with the messages we need to use against the nuclear industry on SMNRs and “No New Nukes.” Enough with the fairy tales! “When I was a child, I spoke as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as...

As the country prepares to mark the 11 March anniversary, one of the disaster’s most...
Press from DOB MEETING
Tritium is a radioactive isotope and emits beta rays that can disrupt cell functions if it is ingested or inhaled. Why would any sensible person want to put something like this in the Hudson River? We have an Indian Point Decommissioning Trust Fund to pay for a safe clean up. Anything left over is profit...
