A Message from Rochelle

Each day high-level radioactive waste is produced and stored on California's earthquake active coast and the state's elected representatives remain silent. Republican and Democratic lawmakers in Nevada and Utah recently joined forces to protect their citizens from high-radioactive waste storage in their states. Are California's economy and citizens less valuable than Nevada and Utah?

The Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility asks you to join us in supporting the California Energy Commission's recommendation to fully analyze the costs/benefits and risks of the state's continued reliance on nuclear generation and to ask state legislators to prohibit the filing of applications for license renewals until the analysis is complete. For a sample letter go to: http://a4nr.org/actionLetters/11.17.2005-cecltr/view

CEC's 2005 Report states: "The state should evaluate the long-term implications associated with the continuing accumulation of spent fuel at California's operating plants, including a case-by-case evaluation of public safety and ratepayer costs of on-site interim storage [and transport] of spent nuclear fuel vs transporting spent fuel offsite for interim storage."

The mission of the Alliance is to introduce and pass legislation that fully phases-out production of high-level radioactive waste stored on California's earthquake active coast by end of current licenses (2020-2025)

Please join us and share this information with others who may be concerned,
