New Signers Invited for Nuclear Letter

The letter to Presidential Science Advisor John Holdren, signed by more than 300 scientists, engineers, and others, is still open for new signatures, announced its organizer John Shanahan. The letter makes  three recommendations:

(a) continue to build Light Water Reactors,

(b) start building the Integral Fast Reactor and finish the metallic fuel recycling technology, and

(c) establish full scale domestic program for production of isotopes for nuclear medicine.

He and his colleagues see it as a cornerstone document for a ÒGo Nuclear!, IncÓ video documentary, youth training, and public education project of the next several years. See: http://gonuclear.net/.
