Secure our Nuclear Fuel

Reduce the Risks

U.S. policymakers must make securing spent fuel and eliminating crowded pools a top priority.

The nuclear crisis in Japan has raised alarming questions about the safety of nuclear power plants in our own backyard. There’s good reason for all of us to be worried.

Act now! Tell your member of congress to secure our nuclear fuel.
