CAN was instrumental in the closure of reactors in MA\, VT and CT. Katz designed the community health study with the MA Department of Health\, organized local community participation and secured pro bono support from Harvard School of Public Health\, USGS\, Clark University\, and John Snow Institute to investigate the epidemic of disease in her community brought on by long term exposure to radioactive releases from a nuclear power reactor. She has coordinated environmental justice tours to Utah\, Nevada\, Washington\, DC and South Carolina\, three Action Camps\, and a national People’s Summits on Nuclear Waste.  Katz won a Giraffe Award for “sticking her neck out” to protect New England reactor communities.  The House of Representative from the Commonwealth of MA cited her for outstanding leadership and service in the public health field. Katz is an author who published In The Valley of the Shadow\, a picture book on the grief process for those left behind. \nRegistration is required HERE. You will receive an email with your unique zoom link. \nIf you cannot attend\, you may register anyway and either enter your question during registration or email your questions to jcross@snakeriveralliance.org.

General admission is $10 available at the Flicks. \nAs political pressure mounts in the US to meet net zero carbon goals\, the nuclear power industry makes its case for a nuclear “renaissance.” In place of the highly costly nuclear towers that have been shut down across many regions of the country\, investors began in the early 21st century to promote small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs). \nATOMIC BAMBOOZLE follows anti-nuclear activists and attorneys from the Columbia River region as they draw lessons from the decades-long fight to shut down the Trojan Nuclear Power plant in Oregon and reflect on current promotional campaigns by the nuclear industry and US Department of Energy.  As the industry mounts its “renaissance” with small reactors\, these anti-nuclear activists forge alliances with the Confederated Tribes of the Umatilla Indian Reservation and climate activist Cathy Sampson-Kruse (Wallulupum member of the Umatilla) who calls out the nuclear industry and politicians who are using the climate crisis to push for loosening laws restricting nuclear power generation. \nThe  arc of the film is anchored by physicist and professor M. V. Ramana\, a global leader and recognized scholar on nuclear power. He traces the history of nuclear power generation from the 1950s to the present and takes up the four main areas of concern and controversy: costs\, accidents\, waste and proliferation. \nTickets available at the Flicks!

This plan mirrors one they successfully lobbied for in Utah\, and aims to follow in Idaho Power’s footsteps to get the PUC to approve a bad “value of solar study.” This could significantly increase the bills for Idaho residents with solar. While attacking solar and energy democracy\, RMP wants to expand\, gas\, continue burning coal\, and sprinkle that with dangerous\, expensive nuclear energy!  Here’s the dirty deal: \n\nRocky Mountain Power wants the Idaho Public Utilities Commission (PUC) to approve a misleading “value of solar study.”\nBased on this potentially flawed study\, they’ll then seek to reduce the amount homeowners are paid for the clean\, renewable energy their solar panels generate.\nThis is bad news for Idaho’s environment and your wallet. Over 2\,000 residents in the Rocky Mountain Power service area already enjoy the benefits of solar\, and this move could discourage others from following suit.\n\nThanks to the Idaho Sierra Club for the graphic\, info\, and comment portal! \nPlease share with your networks in eastern Idaho.

Details for the day’s agenda are being finalized and will be available by June 25 on the TerraPower application page and the NRC’s Public Meeting Schedule. \nTerraPower\, through its subsidiary US SFR Owner\, filed the application in March\, requesting a permit to build the sodium-cooled\, advanced reactor design on a site near an existing coal-fired power plant. The 345-megawatt electric Natrium plant includes an energy storage system to temporarily boost output up to 500 MWe\, when needed. If the NRC ultimately issues the permit\, TerraPower would need to submit a separate operating license application. \nThe NRC offers several methods for filing comments on the environmental review before the Aug. 12 deadline\, as outlined in a Federal Register notice. Comments can also be submitted via regulations.gov under Docket ID NRC-2024-0078\, via email to TerraPowerEnvironmental@nrc.gov or via mail to Office of Administration\, Mail Stop TWFN-7-A60M\, U.S. Nuclear Regulatory Commission\, Washington\, DC 20555-0001. \nA copy of the TerraPower construction permit application\, including the environmental report\, is available at the Lincoln County Library\, 519 Emerald St. in Kemmerer. \n### \nThe Snake River Alliance will work with our allies analyzing the Environmental Review and provide key points for you to use in your comments at a later time.

Concealed by government secrecy\, the plant’s fires\, leaks\, and illicit dumping of nuclear waste contaminated the Denver area with long-lived radioactive toxins. \nA major—and highly visible—plutonium fire sparked a decade of mass protests\, culminating in an unprecedented FBI raid that ultimately shuttered the plant. \nAfter a multi-billion-dollar cap-and-cover effort\, the Rocky Flats site was transitioned into a national wildlife refuge. “The Most Dangerous Buildings in America” lie under six feet of soil at the heart of the refuge\, concealing a landscape still saturated with radioactive contamination. While state and federal officials claim the area is safe\, many community members and experts strongly disagree. \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n \n Today\, the radioactive legacy of Rocky Flats is invisible to the naked eye. New housing developments are engulfing areas known to be contaminated with radioactive plutonium. Thousands of former Rocky Flats workers have suffered devastating health issues from radiation exposure. Community members are investigating a potential link between Rocky Flats and troubling health reports in downwind neighborhoods. Ongoing lawsuits\, deception\, health concerns\, and persistent contamination issues continue to plague Rocky Flats\, yet the public is largely unaware of its past and its long-lived radioactive effects. \nThrough powerful testimonials and extraordinary archival media\, Half-Life of Memory exposes Rocky Flats’ dark past and enduring impact\, prompting critical reflection on the implications of the nation’s renewed nuclear weapons buildup.
