A World Free of Nuclear Weapons

The Alliance for Nuclear Accountability is an active participant in the Campaign for a Nuclear Weapons Free World, a program bringing together grassroots, regional and national organizations to reduce the threat from nuclear weapons and bring attention to the need for a meaningful debate on the role of nuclear weapons in American foreign policy. 

The Campaign for a Nuclear Weapons Free World advocates practical steps to eliminate the nuclear threat. We work to stop the spread of nuclear weapons, end the pursuit of new warheads, and ensure that existing stockpiles are verifiably dismantled.

Susan Gordon, Director of ANA, stated “ANA finds that the GNEP proposal would actually exacerbate the inherent proliferation, cost, safety, waste and security risks associated with nuclear power.”

Letter to President Obama on Reprocessing

December 9, 2008

Dear President-Elect Obama:

We are writing to urge you to eliminate both the Department of Energy’s (DOE) Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP), which has focused on restarting nuclear waste reprocessing in the United States, and the reprocessing research program in the Advanced Fuel Cycle Initiative (AFCI). Reprocessing would cost taxpayers hundreds of billions of dollars, undermine U.S. nonproliferation policy, pollute the environment, and threaten public health. Moreover, reprocessing worsens the nuclear waste problem, rather than solves it. Instead, your administration should ensure that spent (irradiated) fuel at commercial reactor sites is better protected to make it less vulnerable to attack.

NUCLEAR WEAPONS DECISION AWAITS OBAMA
USA TODAY -- December 9, 2008
By Peter Eisler

Oak Ridge, TN -- One of the most important national security decision facing President-elect Barack Obama will unfold in this remote valley of aging factories, where workers enriched uranium for the first atomic bomb of World War II.

The site is a linchpin in a hotly contested Bush administration plan to build the first new U.S. warheads since end of the Cold War. Now, following Congress' demand that decisions on new warheads be deferred until an assessment of U.S. nuclear weapons needs is finished next year, the issue is set to come to a head early in Obama's presidency.
