This is a reminder about the telebriefing we’re having on
Wednesday,
July 15 at 8 PM ET/5 PM PT. We hope you can join us
for this important event when we’ll be discussing the Nuclear
Regulatory Commission’s (NRC) latest terrible idea and how you
can help stop it.
The NRC has invented a new and misleading name for nuclear
waste, calling it “Very Low Level,” or VLLW. The fact is that
VLLW is not only Very Long-Lasting Waste, but also extremely
dangerous to human health and the environment.
We’re calling the telebriefing “Coming Soon to Your
Local Landfill: Nuclear Waste, Courtesy of the NRC”
because that’s exactly what the NRC’s proposal would do: Allow
dangerous nuclear waste to be dumped into your local landfill,
just like regular trash.
Since the NRC’s VLLW proposal would almost certainly result
in nuclear waste leaks into our water, air, crops, and
communities, we thought you’d like to hear more about it and
what you can do to stop it. Join
us on Wednesday, July 15 at 8PM ET/5PM PT for this important
telebriefing.
With more and more reactors shutting down, the industry is
preparing to unleash a flood of radioactive waste across the
country—and nuclear corporations want to dispose of it
cheaply, regardless of the impacts on our health, clean air,
and safe drinking water. To help the industry cut corners, the
NRC has invented a new and deceptive name for it, calling it
“Very Low Level,” or VLLW.
Powerful players in the nuclear industry are pushing for
this change, and the NRC may give them what they want unless
we stop them. Join
us on Wednesday, July 15 at 8PM ET/5PM PT for this important
telebriefing.
The briefing will feature several experts on the NRC’s
proposal, including NIRS’s own Diane D’Arrigo, Jane Williams
from California Communities Against Toxics, Dan Hirsch from
the Committee to Bridge the Gap, and Terry Lodge from the
Toledo Safe Energy Coalition. You’ll be able to ask questions
during the call and also on Twitter by using the hashtag
#VLLWbriefing. We
hope you’ll join us on Wednesday, July 15 at 8PM ET/5PM PT for
this important telebriefing.
Thanks for all you do,
The NIRS Team
