Princeton event on Navajo uranium mining, nuclear waste, and consent (virtual)

[Marissa Bell]

Hi All,

Sharing an interesting virtual event on nuclear waste, Navajo uranium mining, and consent co-hosted by Princeton's Anthropology Department and the Natives At Princeton student group. The event will be held this Wednesday 10/26 from 10:00am to 11:30am ET.

Anthropologist Ryo Morimoto’s Nuclear Princeton project released a student-made short film called “Titration,” which reflects on uranium mining’s impacts on the Navajo Nation. The project represents a year of work in which research fellows interviewed Navajo elders, explored archival materials, and worked with animators and artists. 

At the event, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) technical staff will watch the film and Deputy Assistant Secretary of Spent Fuel and Waste Disposition Sam Brinton will present about their work on consent-based nuclear waste facility siting. After that, DOE’s Jay Jones and Melinda Higgins will chat about DOE’s Tribal engagements and DOE career opportunities. Ryo Morimoto and Vincent Ialenti will moderate the discussion.

The Nuclear Princeton project is sponsored by Princeton’s Program on Science & Global Security, Council on Science & Technology, High Meadows Environmental Institute, and Center for Digital Humanities. Titration is being screened at several film festivals this year. Here’s a trailer: https://nuclearprinceton.princeton.edu/nuclear-princeton-animation-project-titration  

Feel free to share with interested colleagues!

Thanks very much. Perfect topic and perfect timing for me. I am working for the Navajo now on water energy matters. And I have been reviewing a book called Downwind. The book is subtitled a 'People's history of the nuclear west'. A lot of the impacts from nuclear testing in nuclear mining were suffered on the Navajo nation. Thanks again. Mike
