The Price Anderson
Act is up for renewal in the next Congressional session. This law,
which leaves the public holding the bag and carrying the coffin in the
event of a nuclear power plant accident, must be examined closely "before
Congress again mindlessly rubber-stamps it".
In the event of a nuclear accident, the
Price Anderson Act will allow nuclear operators to cause hundreds of billions
in damage, enormous loss of life and sickness, yet escape full responsibility
for the consequences of their actions.
The Price Anderson
Act is UNCONSTITUTIONAL
The constitutionality of the Price Anderson
Act was challenged in 1978. The Supreme Court overruled on appeal because
it swallowed the fraudulent argument that nuclear power gives us unlimited
energy. It does not.
A wealth of cleaner, safer, less costly
energy alternatives have been overlooked in favor of dangerous, poisonous,
and expensive nukes. Nuclear power has contributed heavily to the
alarming increase in cancers and immune system related diseases over the
past 50 years. Nuclear Power totally undermines national security because
nukes are vulnerable to sabotage, and it PROMOTES the uncontrolled proliferation
of nuclear weapons.
