In
theory, the NRC should protect us from the
combined dangers of nuclear power and climate
change. But Congress and the nuclear lobby have
muzzled the NRC, directing it to promote nuclear
energy rather than protect us from it. The NRC,
in turn, is far too cozy with the industry it
should regulate strictly.
Enough
is enough. Congress needs to let (or make) the
NRC do its job. Make a donation to the Who’s
Protecting Us? campaign today.
The
Who’s Protecting Us? campaign contains six core
demands from Congress and the NRC:
- Protect people and
the planet by moving us as fast as possible to
100% renewable energy and phasing out nuclear
power and fossil fuels.
- Protect us against
climate disasters that could turn into nuclear
disasters.
- Ensure that the NRC
protects Indigenous and environmental justice
community rights.
- Prevent exposure to
radiation.
- Set safety and
emergency requirements based on disaster
prevention, not on easily biased probability
calculations.
- Ensure the NRC is
an independent regulator, free from industry
influence, and close the revolving door between
the NRC and industry.
Whether
you contribute or not, please share the Who’s Protecting Us?
campaign widely with your friends and family.
The dangers of nuclear power are real, and we
need our leaders to protect us.
Thanks
for all you do,
The
NIRS Team
