Beyond Nuclear testifies at final BRC meeting in DC

Today, Beyond Nuclear's Radioactive Waste Watchdog testified at the final Washington, D.C. meeting of the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future. In the morning, he was invited to testify by BRC on a panel about the risks of transporting high-level radioactive waste and irradiated nuclear fuel. In the afternoon session, Kevin gave public comments, calling for a halt to the generation of any more high-level radioactive waste by phasing out nuclear power and replacing it with renewables such as wind and solar power, and maximized energy efficiency.

October 31st is the final day for making public comments to the BRC. Please urge BRC to secure risky radioactive wastes once again before their deadline, even if you've already done so previously! And, if you can make it, please join Beyond Nuclear for a Halloween "I Have a Scream!" costume rally at the U.S. Department of Energy's headquarters in Washington, D.C. to protest BRC's many bad policy recommendations about radioactive waste management.
