The Nuclear Myth Melts Down: How the "Peaceful Atom" Became a Serial Killer

Chip Ward, a close colleague of Beyond Nuclear's Kevin Kamps in the fight against the Private Fuel Storage, LLC "parking lot dump" for high-level radioactive waste targeted at the Skull Valley Goshutes Indian Reservation in Utah, has declared that nuclear power has lost its alibi in the wake of Japan's nuclear power catastrophe. His essay was published at CommonDreams. Ward's books, Canaries on the Rim and Hope's Horizon, each contain chapters about the struggles against radioactive waste dumps targeted at or operating in Utah.
