Special update: Nuclear crisis in Japan


Over the last several days, we’ve received many calls and emails from UCS members and supporters asking about the current crisis involving several of Japan‘s nuclear power reactors. Like most of you, we are deeply saddened by the terrible tragedy of last week’s earthquake and tsunami, and our hearts go out to the many victims.

The massive earthquake and tsunami off the coast of Japan have caused a potentially catastrophic situation at multiple nuclear power facilities. The situation is still evolving.

For more than 40 years, UCS has served as a nuclear safety watchdog and a reliable, independent source of information on nuclear power technology and its risks. UCS technical experts are working hard to provide timely, updated analysis of what is happening at the stricken facilities and what the implications may be.

You can find regular updates on our blog “All Things Nuclear” and learn about why events have unfolded in the way they have, where the situation may be headed, and what it may mean for the people around the facilities and the environment.   http://action.ucsusa.org/site/R?i=rD2ht7Iwc6iSgCvOO27XpA..

We are also being called on frequently by a wide range of media outlets to provide independent, unbiased information and analysis about the rapidly changing situation on the ground.

For more information, see our Nuclear Accident ABCs factsheet, which provides background information on nuclear accidents and explains some of the terms frequently being used in media reports about the crisis.

As events unfold in Japan, we will be regularly updating the UCS website with our most current assessment of conditions at the affected facilities.

Washington, Approve R-52


Tomorrow is Election Day, and you have an opportunity to make Washington‘s schools more energy efficient and create energy savings for Washington taxpayers. Vote to approve Referendum 52 and stand up for a clean energy economy that starts with retrofitted schools.

Too many of Washington’s schools are falling apart, and R-52 provides the necessary bond money to fund the energy-efficiency retrofitting of older schools and university buildings.

Not only does this enable Washington to repair its schools in an environmentally sound way, but it will create much-needed energy efficiency jobs across Washington.

Please vote by mail today — and don’t forget to approve R-52.

Repower America has been working all year on passing national legislation to help fight climate change. Tomorrow there is something you can do right in Washington to make a real change in your community.

R-52 supports a tough, smart measure that will save taxpayers money and make our air cleaner. But it can’t pass without your support.

Approve R-52 — and mail in your ballot today.

Thanks,

Maggie L. Fox
Chief Executive Officer
