Beyond Nuclear is honored to be invited to speak about "What really happened at Fukushima Daiichi in Japan?" at this Earth Day event in Yellow Springs, OH. The presentation will focus on the cause of the nuclear power catastrophe, an update on the ongoing dangerous state of what is left of the atomic reactors at Fukushima, and the relevance of "lessons learned" for the problem-plagued Davis-Besse and Perry atomic reactors in Ohio.

Entergy retreats, drops charges against “Occupy Entergy” Headquarters activists

Entergy is dropping charges against seven activists, including Paul Gunter, who occupied the New Orleans headquarters on March 22, 2012. The group was protesting the nuclear power company’s criminal trespass against the State of Vermont where its reactor, Vermont Yankee, continues to generate hazardous nuclear waste in the State without a permit.  The action was in solidarity with a simultaneous rally in Brattleboro, VT of more than 1,000 protesters, 166 of whom were arrested in front of Entergy’s VT headquarters. An affinity group of five others were arrested at the White Plains, NY regional Entergy office.  The New Orleans action can be seen in our 2-minute “silent movie style” film, “The Activist(s)”. Please share and forward widely!

From 12:30-2:00 PM EST, Tuesday, April 17th, you can listen in or watch the live webcast of Beyond Nuclear and Alliance for a Green Economy meeting with the Nuclear Regulatory Commission Petition Review Board of the NRC. At issue is the FitzPatrick Fukushima-design GE Mark I Boiling Water Reactor in Scriba, New York. The groups have called for the suspension of this dangerous reactor’s operation, because the design is unprepared for managing a severe accident.
