Radioactive Waste
Congress Asked to Eliminate Subsidies
For Nuclear Power, Fund More Cleanup Work
BY JANICE VALVERDE
The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability is asking Congress and the federal government to eliminate funding for nuclear fuel recycling research, to ban
importation of foreign low-level radioactive waste, and to make public all contracts for cleanup of defense related nuclear waste, according to alliance leaders who spoke April 27 at a press briefing.
‘‘Atomic energy is too costly, slow, and risky to solve a climate crisis,’’ the alliance said in a summary of its positions. It advocates ‘‘carbon-free and nuclear-free energy . . . that is technically and economically attainable by 2050.’’

NEW PRESIDENT MUST OVERHAUL U.S. NUCLEAR WEAPONS PROGRAM; “REPORT CARD” FINDS ENERGY DEPT. IS “OUT OF CONTROL”
“DOE and its National Nuclear Security Agency are out of control,” said Susan Gordon, Director of the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA). “They are ignoring instructions from Congress to end wasteful projects, hiding money for new weapons in the budget, and failing to heed many environmental requirements. A new administration must reign in this rogue agency.”
