National grassroots gathering on radioactive waste, Chicago, June 4-6

Beyond Nuclear is a co-sponsor of a national grassroots gathering in Chicago from Friday, June 4th to Sunday, June 6th, which will address the radioactive waste crisis. The gathering will be devoted to challenging President Obama's and Energy Secretary Chu's “Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future." As its name, explicit mandate, and the bias of a majority of its members make clear, the panel ironically appears more devoted to expanding atomic power (and thus generating yet more radioactive waste) than it is to solving the over 50 year old high-level radioactive waste crisis. Please consider attending this event, and spread the word!
