NUCLEAR WEAPONS CLEANUP -- "Big and Bold Action" Needed
President Biden is poised to nominate the next Assistant Secretary for Environmental Management (EM-1) at the U.S. Department of Energy. Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) has written the Energy Secretary, Jennifer Granholm, about this. See ANA's press release.
Marylia Kelley, ANA Board President, summed up the network’s demands: “Business as usual at EM will not get the job done!” She continued, “As one measure of the priority the Biden administration puts on public health and environmental justice, the nominee for EM-1 should be someone with a proven commitment to Environmental Justice in cleanup of DOE sites.” The Post & Courier has reported on this story. Beyond Nuclear is one of more than 30 ANA member groups.
