The church bells in the Ukraine are ringing in remembrance of Chernobyl..
Every member of Congress should watch the following film before 
authorizing another nuclear power plant. Click play after the first few pictures.

Letter to the Editor,

The aim of nuclear power is spent fuel rods (nuclear waste) from
which weapons are made. Atom bombs, easier are dirty bombs,
so-called depleted uranium ordinance, not electricity, That is why
40 sovereign countries have nuclear power. 

Dr. John Gofman says there is no safe dose of man-made ionizing
radiation. We should not add to it with new nuclear power plants.
Nuclear power is the most dangerous form of electricity. It is the
heat which makes steam that powers electric generators. Albert 
Einstein once said, "Nuclear power is one hell of a way to boil
water".

Liability is paid by the tax payer under the Price/Anderson Act.
Electric rate payers subsidize nuclear power and waste disposal. 
There is big money and political power in nuclear waste, in killing
people, in a toxic regime. Nuclear power pollutes the environment
and will not stop global warming according to studies.

 See Federal Register notice below:  

 The  background states that the  purpose was to keep uranium prices high.  How convenient.  What do you all make of this whole thing? 
 
I can see the impact of allowing more Russian high enriched  uranium imports, which would be a good thing from a proliferation standpoint. It keeps Russia from selling it to nations who would not downblend, but would use it to make their own nuclear bombs.   We have been relying on downblended uranium for fuel for our  power plants for a while now.  Relieves the need to mine, mill and enrich uranium.  This is completely different from MOX fuel, which relies on plutonium reprocessing, as even the bomb grade plutonium will require before it can be made into nuclear fuel.    
 
  So, does this amendment seek to suppress Russian high enriched uranium imports, to maintain high uranium  prices, and create an environment to benefit those who will  profit from more mining, milling, and enrichment, in the U.S. and abroad.   What has been the environmental consequences of downblending high enriched uranium and retooling it into fuel?  Who has done research on this?  
 
The poor folks in Indian country oppose more mining, and milling and rightly so.  Their water supply is still contaminated from past mining activities.  Some have to drive 50 miles or more to fill tanks which they hall back to their homes because there is no safe drinking water.  Their wells are still contaminated.  There is no public drinking water supply in some areas.   The piles of mill tailings are still blowing in the wind. Kathy Helms has written extensively about it.  The Indians are sick, and have been denied benefits.  My son Russ spent two weeks out there photographing and interviewing the victims.  The stories he has sent me break my heart.   
 
The best solution, of course is a shut down of the entire nuclear industry, except for nuclear medicine,  but we tried that, and it failed.  Now with this revival, things are worse than ever before. 
 
What do you make of this?
 
Jeannine
