The experiment with the peaceful atom has been a disaster.
Nuclear power is unsafe and uneconomic.
Nuclear reactors routinely release poisonous radiation into the air and water, contaminating our region and Earth. At every step of the nuclear fuel chain including uranium mining, milling, processing, enrichment, fuel fabrication, reactor operation and radioactive waste storage atomic power pollutes the environment and harms people. Commercial atomic power and nuclear weapons are inextricably linked, from the beginning of the nuclear fuel chain to the end. The effects of the nuclear fuel chain have fallen disproportionately on the poor, the rural and people of color. The Northeast was once the region with the greatest reliance on nuclear power.
