SUMMARY:DC Days with the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability
DESCRIPTION:**Washington\, DC: The Heart of the Department of Energy’s Decisions**  \nThe Snake River Alliance heads to DC with the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability June 8th through 12th! \nWhile much of our work is rooted in Idaho—celebrating the precious Snake River Aquifer\, advocating for victims of radiation exposure from nuclear weapons testing\, and opposing plans to dump radioactive waste in the West—the decisions that shape nuclear policy are made in the nation’s capital. \n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				That’s why we’re going to DC. Each year\, we join the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability to meet with members of Congress and high-level administration officials. Our mission? To fight for policies that protect people and the planet—and stop those that don’t. \nHere’s what DC Days looks like: \n**Day 1:** Intensive training on nuclear issues and lobbying skills alongside activists nationwide. \n**Days 2–4:** Meeting with decision-makers to advocate for: \n\nProtecting our communities and environment from nuclear waste and pollution.\nEnding efforts to prop up the declining nuclear power industry.\nHalting the expansion of dangerous and costly nuclear weapons programs.\n\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n			\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				\n				If you care about clean water\, responsible nuclear waste management\, and a future free from the threat of nuclear weapons\, we’d love for you to join us. \nTo get involved\, email Leigh at **lford@snakeriveralliance.org** with the subject line **DC Days**. \nTogether\, we can make sure our voices are heard where it matters most.

SUMMARY:Nuclear Fuel Chain Part IV: Decommissioning
DESCRIPTION:What Happens When a Nuclear Power Plant Shuts Down?\nJoin us Tuesday\, September 26th at 6:00 pm MT and find out first hand what it’s like to live in a reactor community and what happens to the people and the place after a nuclear plant shuts down. \nDeborah Katz\, CSW is executive director of Citizens Awareness Network\, a nonprofit\, grassroots New England organization fighting for clean air\, democracy\, and environmental justice. 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. We will send all registrants a link to the recording about a week following the session.

SUMMARY:Enrichment? HALEU? Virtual Scoping Meetings Announced
DESCRIPTION:The DOE has issued a notice of intent for a High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) Availability Program by launching the scoping process for an environmental impact statement. \nEnriching uranium to make HALEU poses serious nuclear weapons proliferation risks and puts us in danger. The fuel would be enriched to bomb grade or near bomb grade—20% uranium 235\, supposedly for nuclear power\, but easily shifted to weapons \nThere will be three virtual meetings on June 21st\, at 6pm\, 8pm\, and 10pm ET (4pm\, 6pm\, 8pm MT) . Register HERE. \nDOE will “provide information on the NEPA process and proposed action\, gather oral comments on the scope of the draft EIS\, and enhance opportunities for public participation.” \nFrom the Notice of Intent… \nThe development of a commercial HALEU fuel cycle would involve: (1) uranium ore production ( e.g.\, in situ-recovery)\, (2) conversion of the uranium ore into enrichment feed (converting the uranium ore into hexafluoride suitable for enrichment)\, (3) enrichment to HALEU (in particular\, HALEU enriched to at least 19.75 and less than 20 weight percent U–235)\, (4) deconversion (conversion of the uranium hexafluoride into forms suitable for fuel fabrication)\, (5) transportation services for HALEU ( e.g.\, from the enrichment site to the deconversion site)\, and (6) storage capability. The EIS will evaluate implementation of the Proposed Action of facilitating the commercialization of HALEU production and DOE’s acquisition of HALEU\, including the direct and reasonably foreseeable indirect effects of that acquisition.

SUMMARY:Nuclear Fuel Chain Part II: Uranium Enrichment\, Fuel Fabrication\, and Reprocessing
DESCRIPTION:The Nuclear Fuel Chain Lecture Series explores and analyzes the entire fuel chain\, from uranium mining to radioactive waste storage. Join us in February for Part Two of the series\, Uranium Enrichment\, Nuclear Fuel Fabrication\, and Reprocessing. Register HERE or below for your unique link.  \nPat Marida \nWe are honored to have with us two experts on the topic\, Pat Marida and Terry Lodge. \nPat Marida\nPat has been an antinuclear activist since the 1980s\, when she was a volunteer staff person and Board Member of the Ohio Nuclear Weapons Freeze Campaign.  For 25 years she held various volunteer positions in the Sierra Club\, including serving on the Executive Committee of the Ohio Sierra Club and chairing the Central Ohio Sierra Club for 9 years.  She helped found the Ohio Sierra Club Nuclear Free Committee in 2010 and served as its chair through 2020.  She is currently a coordinator with the Ohio Nuclear Free Network\, having helped start that organization two years ago.  She is a retired pharmacist living in Columbus\, Ohio. \nTerry Lodge \nTerry Lodge \nTerry is a longtime environmental and civil rights lawyer in Toledo\, Ohio who in a career of 43+ years has represented grassroots activists and protesters opposing nuclear power and nuclear weapons\, mountaintop removal\, fracking and its radioactive waste\, war and discrimination in employment. He values the free speech\, association and protest rights of activists above every other constitutional right and worries about the privatized censorship of dissent on corporate social media as well as the “money equals megaphone” problem amplified by the Citizens’ United court decision. \nTerry currently represents scores of activists formally opposing the construction of two “interim” irradiated nuclear fuel dumps\, one in Texas and one in New Mexico\, and is pressing a lawsuit over the nuclear weapons implications of manufacturing high assay low-enriched uranium (HALEU) at a Department of Energy plant site in southeastern Ohio. He’s also assisting a small but tough group of activists in Erwin\, Tennessee who’re outing a local factory’s public health-threatening radiation leaks and nuclear weapons connections in an NRC license amendment case. \nPlease register ahead of time and come with your questions or submit them to communications@snakeriveralliance.org\, subject line : ASK. \n Read more from the Ohio Nuclear Free Network\n Uranium: Enrichment\, Nuclear Fuel Fabrication\, and More \n How Nuclear Power Worsens Climate Change \nLearn more about the nuclear legacy of the Portsmouth Nuclear site in Ohio. \n Read about Ohio\, Centrus and the Nuclear Bomb. \n Portsmouth to Convert Depleted Uranium for Warfare \n Health Risk to Local Residents from the Portsmouth Gaseous Diffusion Plant. \n Uranium: Mining and Milling

SUMMARY:COMMENTS due: Consent-Based Siting Process to Identify Federal CIS
DESCRIPTION:The Office of Nuclear Energy (NE)\, U.S. Department of Energy (DOE)\, requestsinformation on how to site Federal facilities for the temporary\, consolidated storage of spentnuclear fuel using a consent-based approach. DOE anticipates that communities; governmentsat the local\, State\, and Tribal levels; members of the public; energy and environmental justicegroups; organizations or corporations; and other stakeholders may be interested in respondingto this Request for Information (RFI). We especially welcome insight from people\, communities\,and groups that have historically not been well-represented in these discussions. Responses tothe RFI will inform development of a consent-based siting process\, overall strategy for anintegrated waste management system\, and possibly a funding opportunity.
