We are working together to:
• Urge government to follow through with an environmental clean-up of the old uranium enrichment plant at Piketon, a facility that once provided fuel for nuclear reactors.
• Halt any industry and political efforts that would re-open the Piketon plant or allow for the storage of radioactive waste or construction of a nuclear power plant.
• Involve the public in decisions related to nuclear power expansion and increase dialogue about the need for alternative energy sources.
• Promote proper onsite storage for handling of high-level radioactive waste.
• Support the Ohio Sierra Club’s efforts to replace heavily subsidized nuclear power with efficiency and sustainable energy sources such as wind and solar.
Want to get involved?
The Ohio Sierra Club Nuclear Committee is made up of a core, or team, that works closely together and participates in monthly telephone calls. Outside of this team, the committee includes people around the state with interest in nuclear issues who receive informational emails from the team, may participate in public meetings, write letters, or otherwise contribute to the effectiveness of our work.
Interested in our work?   Contact Ohio Sierra Club Nuclear Committee chair Pat Marida marida@wideopenwest.com.
