NEW NUCLEAR PROPOSALS IMPACT
MICHIGAN AND THE GREAT LAKES

by Kay Cumbow, Hal Newnan,
Ed McArdle, and Rita Jack

The Sierra Club nationally and locally is opposed to nuclear power generation with its toxic life cycle of mining, processing, enrichment, construction, transport, operation, disposal and decommissioning. All of these incur huge financial and public health costs. Because nuclear power integrally fits into nuclear weapons manufacture and provides targets of opportunity for terrorists, there are many other troubling aspects surrounding it, in the realms of secrecy and deception, risks and benefits, and politics.

The above is an excerpt from the issue of The ACTIVIST, SEMG's newsletter. To read the entire article, click <here.>
