Food & Water Watch

“No one in New York wants people to suffer the horrible immediate toxicities of a nuclear accident,” said Dr. Kathleen Nolan, President of Physicians for Social Responsibility – New York. “And no one wants the tragic long term cancer and disease burden that invariably attends the construction, operations, and waste disposal of nuclear power generation. The only way such activities go forward is through ignorance or willful disregard of the known, real, and present dangers found throughout the life cycle of generating power through nuclear reactions. For example, if we cannot properly handle the toxic nuclear waste we have already generated in New York — and we cannot — then we cannot possibly justify creating more waste and releasing it into nearby communities, especially communities like the Onondaga Nation and other Indigenous Peoples that have wisely opposed reliance on nuclear energy.”
