The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) objects to the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP) draft Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS)’s support for reprocessing of high level radioactive waste. As stated in the draft PEIS, GNEP intends to provide nuclear power that is safe, secure and economical while “reducing the impacts associated with spent nuclear fuel disposal and reducing proliferation risks.” ANA, however, finds that the GNEP proposal would actually exacerbate the inherent proliferation, cost, safety, waste, and security risks associated with nuclear power.

COLUMBUS DISPATCH
Reprocessing spent nuclear fuel too risky
Saturday, November 15, 2008 3:20 AM
By Bob Alvarez
The
push for new nuclear reactors became a top-tier issue in the
presidential race. Yet one aspect of the debate received little
attention: reprocessing spent nuclear fuel. This issue is especially
relevant to Ohio, where the U.S. Energy Department has considered
locating such a facility near Portsmouth.

On Friday, October 24, the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability admonished the Department of Energy (DOE) for recommendations in a newly released report mapping out the future of nuclear weapons production in the United States.
The report titled, Final Complex Transformation Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement, drew unprecedented attention last year as part of a legally required public comment period in which more than 100,000 letters were sent to DOE opposing their plan to revamp the industrial infrastructure responsible for building and maintaining nuclear weapons. The plan referred to as “the Bombplex,” would ensure an indefinite reliance on nuclear weapons.

2008 Sample Complex Transformation Action Alert | |

Stop the Bombplex!
Bombplex = Nuclear Bombs Forever
The Department of Energy's (DOE) National Nuclear Security Administration (NNSA) wants to refurbish the industrial infrastructure responsible for building and maintaining nuclear weapons. DOE originally called this plan Complex 2030; they have now changed the name to Complex Transformation. We are calling it the Bombplex because it will ensure that the U.S. continues building new nuclear weapons indefinitely. The Bombplex is expensive ($150 billion) and dangerous.
Bombplex = Proliferation
Among other things, the Bombplex will give DOE the capacity to build new nuclear weapons. This will hinder international non-proliferation initiatives and cripple international nuclear disarmament efforts. If the DOE is designing new nuclear weapons and improving its ability to make them, the U.S. will not be able to convince other countries to abandon their nuclear weapons programs. "Do as we say, not as we do" is not good foreign policy. The Bombplex will result in more countries with nuclear weapons and ultimately jeopardize national security.
Help Stop the Bombplex: No Nukes is Good Nukes!
In accordance with the National Environmental Policy Act (NEPA), DOE has just released their final Supplemental Environmental Impact Statement which maps out their plan for the Bombplex. There is still a brief window where DOE is required to accept and consider comments on the Bombplex. This is your chance to be part of a growing movement! More than 120,000 comments have already been submitted-a record for DOE! Tell your government to abandon their Bombplex plan and instead work towards eliminating nuclear weapons.

A Pivotal Moment for Peace
Even While Politicians fill the airwaves with great promises, our future is being written. The Department of Energy's National Nuclear Security Administration is proposing to build a new nuclear weapons complex with billions and billions of your tax dollars. This plan--called "Complex Tranformation" will maintain an enduring nuclear stockpile and build new bombs in Oak Ridge and around the country.
