A new proposal
presented as a
remediation plan for
abandoned uranium
mines on Navajo land
is a false front for
more extraction, says
a community-based
group fighting the
scheme.

The Navajo Nation EPA
has accepted a
proposal that purports
to clean up abandoned
uranium mines. In
reality, says the
community-based group
Dooda Disa, it
extracts uranium for
commercial sale while
leaving yet more
radioactive waste
behind. Worse, the
project approval was
fast-tracked under the
Trump regime, which
has drastically
weakened requirements
under the National
Environmental Policy
Act. The outcome is
that the Navajo Nation
takes all the risk
while giving up
control over its own
lands. READ

already tumultuous new
year, there are many
challenges to

expansion of nuclear
power must be stopped.
New nuclear power
plants recklessly
squander our tax
dollars, our safety
and our future. Its
waste is lethal for
millennia with nowhere
to go. Beyond Nuclear
