Tell Us What You Think
CPRC would like to know what you think the best strategies are for public education about the various nuclear issues. Should we focus on shipping, on nuclear weapons, global warming and nuclear energy, etc. Should we organize demonstrations, bring in expert speakers, plan public debates, teach people about lobbying, etc. Please take the time to fill out the questionaire.

The Bush administration and his followers in congress are planning the shipping of the nation’s irradiated nuclear fuel to SC. The amount of fuel to be shipped is on the order of 14,000 times greater than the amount of radioactivity currently in the Barnwell dump. And this is not including any waste from the extended licenses that are being granted, or any new reactors, or any waste from outside the United States to be shipped to SC according to the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership plan which would take nuclear waste from all over the world, make plutonium fuel, and supply it to the partners.


SC can expect as many of 40,000 to 50,000 trucks of radioactive waste to be shipped to the state.According to research by the Nuclear Information Resource Service using figures provided by documents published by the US government South Carolina can expect as many as 40,000 to 50,000 trucks. This is all being done without public input or even a chance for a hearing where the public can hear experts from both sides of the issue and make up their own minds.

Help CPRC raise public awareness about the need for openness and public input into a decision that will bring thousands of times more radiation to SC than is currently at Barnwell, SC, the nuclear dump that currently accepts waste that would be destined for the Savanah River Site.

“The accumulation of all powers, legislative, executive, and judiciary, in the same hands, whether of one, a few, or many, and whether hereditary, self-appointed, or elective, may justly be pronounced the very definition of tyranny.”
— James Madison, Federalist Papers, # 47, 1788
