CPRC is a 501(c) 3 organization and contributions are tax deductable.

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 funds designated to nuclear issues will be used to pay for supplies, part time staff time, and other costs related to the public awareness campaign.

This campaign will be led by Allison Peeler. Allison served as a CPRC intern while she was an undergraduate at USC. During and since that time she has helped to organize landmark CPRC events, such as the Memorial Day marches and vigils during the last two years. Also, she has contributed actively to planning CPRC projects, activities, and events through the nuclear issues, latin american and african issues, and counterrecruitment committees. Allison has demonstrated her investment in the CPRC's success, as well as her ability to help bring about that success.

Contribute using the Donate Now Button above or by mailing a contribution to the address above. Funds designated for Nuclear Issues will be used strictly for the nuclear issues campaign.
