Not content to address nuclear issues in California, our outreach coordinator, David Weisman, recently previewed his film www.everythingnuclear.org for the Oyster Creek reactor watchdogs in New Jersey. He then spent Earth Day 2009 in Salt Lake City where he screened his new documentary, "Everything You Always Wanted to Know About Nuclear Power* but were afraid to ask" on behalf of the group HEAL Utah. HEAL has been working to create a nuclear moratorium in the Utah legislature similar to California's and to stop the licensing of a low-level radioactive dump in the western region of the state. An enthusiastic audience of about 80 people filled the "Brewvies" cinema pub for the event. In addition, David gave a lecture on the problems of nuclear power and democratic participation to a grad school class in environmental humanities at the University of Utah, and participated in two radio local interviews (NPR podcast at: http://kcpw.org/article/7752 and Salt Lake City radio station KRCL talking about his new documentary http://www.publicbroadcasting.net/krcl/news.newsmain?action=article&ARTICLE_ID=1497997§ionID=1 ) plus appearing live on the Salt Lake City FOX-TV morning news. On the second day, David met with the outreach and policy coordinators for HEAL to help them strategize tactics for dealing with the Utah legislature and the NRC. Yet another new "alliance" for the Alliance has been formed with these dedicated young advocates and is set to show the film and conduct several interviews and speaking events in Utah to mark Earth Day this week.

This lively new video mixes historic news clips and ironic, vintage propaganda films along with contemporary experts and analysis to remind us of nuclear power’s troubled history. At a time when nuclear power is being touted as a cure for global warming — and is asking for billions in taxpayer subsidies — it’s time to explore cleaner, safer and cheaper solutions.

If you live in a reactor community — or the site of a new, proposed reactor — you might consider getting a copy of the DVD and asking your local community access or public access cable TV station to run the program on or around March 28th. It’s 42 minutes long, and that leaves an extra 18 minutes for local advocates to do an “in-studio” discussion or follow up to the broadcast of the video.

You can view the whole video streaming on-line at www.everythingnuclear.org or order a DVD for $10 to cover duplication, handling and shipping.
