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. |

| | | Alliance for Nuclear Accountability Opposes Reprocessing at Public Hearing
On 9 December, 2008 the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability (ANA) raised concerns at a public hearing in Washington, DC regarding Bush administration proposal to reprocess spent nuclear fuel as part of the Global Nuclear Energy Partnership (GNEP).
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.”

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.read more...NUCLEAR WEAPONS DECISION AWAITS OBAMA

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.read more...
WASHINGTON, DC – The U.S. Department of Energy (DOE) issued a
notification in the Federal Register today that it is extending the

Programmatic Environmental Impact Statement (PEIS) by 90 days. The
public comment period will now end on March 16, 2009.read more...Los Alamos Monitor

“Reprocessing is the fundamental link between a nuclear reactor and a plutonium bomb,” said Susan Gordon of the Alliance for Nuclear Accountability, representing a national network of organizations.
