Eichelberger, www.energy-net.org 2940 16th St., #310, San Francisco 94103 ph. 415-861-0592, fax 558-8135, done@greens.org Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: Yucca Mt., any reincarnation of Ward Valley. Group/community's goals: Pretty united in opposing all things that will help further development of nuclear anything. Activities: Issue electronic newsletter, Rad Bull, with articles and documents on all manner of nuclear news, web site (see above), local outreach and education through events, active politically with the Green Party of CA, I am co-chair of the State Issues Working Group and Chair the Energy Working Group, helping write energy platform and seeking political action ie public power and funding for renewables and conservation, stop subsidies for nuclear. Most pressing need to meet your goals: A profound shift in people's awareness of the issue, and the effects of unbridled consumerism that fuels need for unsustainable growth that can come only from massive energy infrastructure, including nuclear. Bay Area Nuclear Waste
Coalition, 2760 Golden
Gate Avenue, San Francisco, California 94118 Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: All LLRW generators in California with an emphasis on nuclear utilities. Group/community's goals: Obtain broad-based and overwhelming support for the LLRW Inventory legislation that will require, for the first time, all of California's low-level radioactive waste generators (including utilities and the military) to report on an annual basis how much and what kinds of waste they produce and the disposition of the waste (shipped off-site, stored on-site, etc.). The inventory will help create an accurate picture of the components of the waste stream and what is done with the waste in order to develop an informed state policy on LLRW management. It will also discourage the nuclear industry's propensity to mischaracterize the waste stream like they did when advocating for the proposed (and defeated) Ward Valley nuclear waste dump. This is an issue of the public's right to know and environmental justice. Download 1 page statement Activities: Technical review, community organizing, education and outreach, legislation, legal action, direct action, participation in decision-making processes. Patricia Borchmann - Community Advocate on Options for San Onofre Nuclear Generator fuel. Larry Shoup, Candidate for CA Secretary of State (510) 654-7394 larryshoup@earthlink.net Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: All nuclear generation sites. Group/community's goals: Large-scale use of decentralized solar power, to begin replacing the pollution, concentration and centralization of power characteristic of nuclear and petroleum-based energy production systems. Specifically "Solar Mortgage" plan, to include solar installation costs into the mortgage of new housing developments. Activities: Political campaigns, direct action, educational work. Citizen Alert, John Hadder, P.O. Box 5339, Reno, NV 89513 www.citizenalert.org 775-827-4200 (fax) 775-827-4299 hadder@citizenalert.org Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: Yucca Mountain and relevant transportation in Nevada, as well as additional cumulative impacts of Nevada Test Site. Group/community's goals: Sound science makes it clear that Yucca Mountain cannot safely contain the nation’s high-level waste. Nevadans have said so again and again. Citizen Alert is a voice for the land and people of Nevada. Activities: Newsletter and email Action Alert, technical review, community organizing, legal action, direct action, participation in DOE and other public hearings, coalition work with other groups.

www.nukebusters.org Citizens Opposition to Rocket Pollution (CORP), VAFB Project, Sheila Baker, pedal4mother@yahoo.comReactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: Diablo Canyon Nuclear Plant; Ocean Barge Route; Diablo is 50 miles north of Vandenberg AFB and the barge proposal is in line with rocket launches in the ocean. Activities: I protest, use email, speakers, and stay close to the media. Nora Wallace of Santa Barbara Newspress has published an article on CORP and the deuterium flouride laser program. Linda Seeley, San Luis Obispo CA (805) 544-8112 lseeley@pacbell.comReactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Group/community's goals: Our group’s goal, based on the Nuclear Guardianship Project, is to spread awareness about the long-term responsibility for guarding the site of nuclear waste for countless generations into the future. Activities: We will help people learn the story of nuclear poisons, and we will develop an oral history to pass on to future generations who will live in the shadow of the plant. By doing this, we hope to motivate the present generation to realize that the plant must be shut down now.

Party of Utah, Bob Brister Russell D. Hoffman &
Sharon Hoffman, www.animatedsoftware.com/environm/onofre/index.htm Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: Live near San Onofre Nuclear Generators; All of them! Group/community's goals: Shut down every nuke, dismantle every weapon, protect every waste dump from terrorists, and don't pretend any of that crap is recyclable because it isn't. Activities: I attempt to engage government employees in direct email letter-writing campaigns to present the facts to them so that they can no longer deny them. Also, I am trying to build a useful web site, to send out unsolicited testimonials to persons and media whom I have prior reason to believe may be interested, and generally, I try to raise the public's awareness, by such things as chastising the press whenever necessary (which is almost constantly), informing them (the press) of the facts as much as possible, and present to people, additional resources where factual information can be located. I have a personal collection of over 200 nuclear-related books, a lot of knowledgeable and helpful contacts, and a fast Internet connection to do my research. It helps to be a fast typist and married to a professional editor who is behind you 100%, two benefits I have. HOME: Healing Ourselves & Mother Earth, Jennifer Olaranna Viereck, Director www.h-o-m-e.org Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: We are in the direct watershed of Yucca Mountain and parts of the Nevada Test Site, 50 miles downstream. Also on the transportation route for Yucca Mt. and current shipments of LLW and transuranic waste. Group/community's goals:
Activities: Share information through letter-writing, website, the media, spoken or written comments at DOE hearings, public dialogue (like this forum). Do tours with our ‘Museum to End the Nuclear Age’ RV, a mobile teaching center. Institute for Energy & Environmental Research (IEER), Arjun Makhijani, President www.ieer.org6935 Laurel Ave., Suite 204, Takoma Park MD 20912 (301) 270-5500 Fax (301) 270-3029 ieer@ieer.org
New Mexico Toxics Coalition (NMTC), Coila Ash, Executive Director Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: Waste sites at Los Alamos National Laboratory in Northern New Mexico, the Waste Isolation Pilot Plant (WIPP) near Carlsbad, New Mexico and the transportation routes within New Mexico. Group/community's goals: Our Waste Program supports safe transportation, handling and storage of nuclear, hazardous and municipal waste. This program also advocates strict safeguards for workers and emergency personnel involved with waste management activities. Our goal is to build a strong statewide citizen's coalition that will join in solidarity with national and international organizations working collectively to protect the environment and population from further destruction and to reclaim public participation in the decision making process. Activities: NMTC uses a combination of research, technical assistance, community involvement (educational meetings, tabling etc) and nonviolent direct action. North

Activities: The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation has a Renewable Energy Project whose purpose is to help accelerate the country's ongoing transition to safe, clean, renewable energy sources, by educating the public, government, business, and community leaders to the urgent need for this vital change. We must counter the widespread misconception that the Earth's natural resources are infinite and that we can continue to use any energy sources-even those that are very harmful to our environment. The Nuclear Age Peace Foundation also provides research and information to people around the world on nuclear energy and waste matters in the form of our monthly electronic newsletter, The Sunflower. Nuclear Information and Resource Service, Kevin Kamps, Nuclear Waste Specialist www.nirs.org1424 16th Street, NW, Suite 404, Washington, D.C. 20036 202.328.0002 fax 202.462.2183 kevin@nirs.org Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation
route: Proposed Private Fuel
Storage dump targeted at the Skull Valley Goshute Indian Reservation in
Utah; proposed Yucca Mountain dump targeted at Western Shoshone land in
Nevada; the truck and train routes through 45 States that would be used to
haul high-level atomic waste to these proposed Western dumps. Also,
storage of high-level waste at commercial reactor sites, whether in
storage pools or dry storage casks. Group/community's goals: An ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure. The
generation of high-level nuclear waste must be stopped as soon as
possible, or the problem will double, triple, or quadruple in size from
what we are facing now. NIRS position is that nuclear waste must be
isolated from the biosphere for as long as it remains hazardous—hundreds
of thousands and millions of years. Nuclear waste is dangerous no matter
where it is, whether sitting still in storage pools or dry casks,
traveling 60 miles per hour on the roads or rails, or at proposed
"interim storage" or permanent burial sites. Activities: NIRS serves as an information clearing house and watchdog on the industry and the federal government when it comes to nuclear power issues. NIRS has, along with Public Citizen's Critical Mass Energy and Environment Program, conducted "Radioactive Roads and Rails" campaign tours, educating the public in critical States along the transport routes to Yucca Mountain. NIRS is active in grassroots organizing and strategizing both in the US and internationally. The Nuclear Resister- "a chronicle of hope", Jack & Felice Cohen-Joppa, editorsP.O. Box 43383, Tucson AZ 85733 phone/fax (520)323-8697 nukeresister@igc.org Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: Yucca Mountain - possible southern transport route thru Tucson - I-10 and SP rail. Group/community's goals: Since these are unlikely corridors, there is not much local concern - but local support on AZ policy-makers could be garnered for folks in Flagstaff who face more likely shipments along I-40. Activities: Encourage and support civil disobedience; publish the Nuclear Resister, network NVDA groups. Most pressing need to meet your goals? National PSA/PR support to coordinate local opposition with unified slogans, graphics, press packets, etc. when push comes to shove on interstate transport. Nuclear Waste Task Force,

Request the Facility EIS from the NRC Group/community's goals: Prevent 40,000 tons of HLW from being stored on reservation lands, and the destruction of culture and sacred land that would cause. Activities: Generating tribal opposition, filing contentions on Environmental Justice with DOE, NRC, outreach to tribes and organizations for support, hosting gathering on land (Oct 2001).

Rancho Seco Reactor, Sacramento - Only reactor in US shut down by voters, in 1989. Redwood Alliance & REEI, Michael Welch, office coordinator www.redwoodalliance.org Facility, dumpsite or transportation route: Humboldt Bay Nuclear Power Plant decommissioning. Transportation route- very scary Hwy 299 East to Redding. Group/community's goal: Getting the job done as soon as possible. We are moving toward onsite dry cask storage as the answer to our special, local problems (serious earthquake will happen) without sticking our spent fuel in some other community. At this point, the only divisive issues are how long it will take. The transportation route is secondary to that for us, though it is something we talk about. Activities of your group/community: Not much these days, mostly renewable energy promotion. The utility has promised to do what we want with the plant. Most pressing need to help meet your goals: We need a more active group of folks working with us.

Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Group/community's goals: Shutting the plant down a.s.a.p.; Hardening vulnerable plant components (reactor domes, spent fuel pools + cooling components, control room, proposed Independent Spent Fuel Storage Installation) to become impenetrable to sabotage/ terrorists attacks during phase out and as long as storage takes place. Activities: Formed a Green Party subcommittee on HLNW at Diablo; formed an independent public County committee in 1996 to educate general population and local governments about storage/transportation ( SLO Nuclear Waste Management Committee); supply local governments with info about ISFSI's; public info meetings, flyers, radio talk-shows, letters/op-ed pieces/press releases to local press etc. San Luis Obispo Mothers For Peace P.O. Box 164, Pismo Beach CA 93448 http://www.mothersforpeace.org/Download Diablo Canyon Fact Sheet Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant Group/community's goals: Create legislation that would close Diablo Canyon Nuclear Power Plant when high-level waste storage in the spent fuel pools reaches current capacity (2006). By limiting radioactive waste allowed at Diablo Canyon, our community can lessen the mounting risks of radioactive releases due to accident earthquakes, or terrorism. Activities: Legislation was passed in Minnesota, and it can be accomplished here as well! Shundahai Network, Susi Snyder, www.shundahai.org PO Box 1115, Salt Lake City, UT 84110 801-35-2614 susi@shundahai.org Reactor(s), dumpsite or transportation route: We are equally concerned with the Yucca Mountain project and the Private Fuel Storage proposal for the Skull Valley Goshute Reservation. Group/community's goals: To stop the PFS project by facilitating a resolution passed by the Skull Valley tribe opposing the dump. To stop the Yucca Mountain project by a congressional veto- or by raising the Environmental Justice concerns & contentions as the project continues. We are also preparing for nonviolent resistance to these proposals, which can take many forms. Activities: Shundahai Network organizes bi-annual gatherings. This year we will be at the Nevada Test Site May 11-14, and October 11-14th. We also utilize the tactics of nonviolent direct action, public participation in hearings/ meetings. We hold informational meetings and trainings on a regular basis in our community, as well as on speaking tours throughout the U.S. |
