Program Goal
- Provide technical assistance to community groups and detailed, accurate information to the public regarding nuclear weapons production facilities, especially Los Alamos National Laboratory and Sandia National Laboratory in New Mexico and on WIPP;
- ensure strong citizen involvement in decisions about the future of nuclear waste storage and disposal and the nuclear weapons complex, both to prevent new production facilities and to promote safer waste management and disposal, including disposal of dismantled warheads; and
- assist affected citizens to increase their effective participation in the long-term process of disarmament and cleanup of DOE facilities.
Program Objectives
- Support the health and safety requirements of the WIPP operating permit and prevent WIPP’s expansion for high-level and commercial waste.
- Support independent investigations of the 2014 WIPP radiation release to ensure that the cause(s) are known and a future release would not occur.
- Work nationally with citizen groups, states, and tribes to bring about a new nuclear waste policy to replace the defunct Yucca Mountain dump.
- Stop the new plutonium bomb plant at Los Alamos and support nuclear weapons reduction treaties.
- Support effective cleanup of Area G, the nuclear waste dump at Los Alamos, and address water contamination at Sandia National Lab in Albuquerque
