She received a doctorate in mathematics, with a specialty in biometrics, from the Catholic University of America, Washington, D.C. (Biometrics is the science of mathematical predictions of medical phenomenon). She is a member of the Grey Nuns of the Sacred Heart. Since 1969, she has studied cancer and birth defects, especially as they relate to low level radiation exposure and has been a research consultant in biometry, with specialty in public health aspects of exposure to ionizing radiation. She was the Senior Cancer Research Scientist, Tri-State Leukemia Survey at Roswell Park Memorial Institute, Buffalo, N.Y., 1970 to 1978 and was instrumental in founding the Ministry of Concern for Public Health in Buffalo, N.Y. in 1978. Coming to Canada in 1980, she became an Energy and Public Health Specialist with the Jesuit Centre for Social Faith and Justice, Toronto, 1980 to 1984. She founded the non- profit International Institute of Concern for Public Health and served as its Director of Research and Director of the Board, from 1984 to 1987 and as president from 1987 to 1994. The institute provided scientific and technical assistance to government agencies, citizens’ groups and labour unions relating to environmental hazards as well as a scientific publication on environmental hazards. Dr. Bertell was appointed to the Scientific Advisory Board on the Great Lakes of the International Joint Commission, 1991-1995, and to the International Joint Commission’s Nuclear Task Force in 1995. She was a consultant with the United States Nuclear Regulatory Commission and the United States Environmental Protection Agency. She currently serves on Advisory Boards to the Great Lakes Health Effects Program of Health Canada, the Ontario Environmental Assessment Board, Global Education Associates (New York) and the NGO Disarmament Committee at the United Nations. She advocates stricter safeguards and better monitoring of health for nuclear workers and the general public, a phase out of nuclear technology for weapons or power generation, waste isolation rather than disposal, standardized international monitoring of environmental and human health, and protection of the biosphere from genotoxic damage. Dr. Bertell has published extensively in her field including the book No Immediate Danger: Prognosis for a Radioactive Earth, which was first published in 1985, and is editor-in-chief of the periodical, International Perspectives in Public Health. The Bertell archival records and the records of the International Institute of Concern for Page i Public Health were received from Dr. Bertell in 1995, 1996 and 2001. The Bertell fonds The fonds documents Dr. Bertell’s research and activities to identify global environmental hazards and their effects on public health, with special emphasis on the hazards of radiation caused by global dependence on nuclear energy. In addition, Dr. Bertell’s work and research on international human rights’ issues, the military and nuclear weapons, and women’s health are documented. The International Institute of Concern for Public Health sous-fonds or sub-fonds The sous-fonds or sub-fonds consists of the records of the International Institute of Concern for Public Health documenting international, national and local environmental issues. Notes on the structure of the fonds Information on subjects and individuals overlaps different series because of the series structure. Additional material received in 1996, 2003 and 2003 was incorporated into the existing series and required some non-consecutive volume numbering, e.g., Case Files: vols. 10 to 42, 129, 132, 133 and 137, 139 to 150. There are series which properly relate to Dr. Bertell and her work and series which are attached to the records of the International Institute of Concern for Public Health. Multiple Media Records and the Bertell library of periodicals and reports Sound recordings, video recordings, photographs, slides and posters have been transferred to the Visual and Sound Archives Division. Dr. Bertell’s extensive library of periodicals, newspapers, and other publications have been transferred to the University of Guelph via Dr. Karen Farbridge, Executive Director, Ontario Public Interest Research Group. However, a database containing descriptions of the contents of this library may be consulted here. Access Considerations Researchers are requested to sign an undertaking that they will not publish information about living persons without their knowledge and consent. Certain volumes contain individual files with sensitive information and access to these specific volumes is restricted. Finding Aid No. 2081 Finding aid no. 2081 provides a listing of file titles by series for volumes 1 to 150 of the textual and the electronic records. Also provided is a general listing of most multiple media material transferred to the Visual and Sound Archives Division. The automated version of the finding aid, a WordPerfect 6.1 document, should be consulted to locate information which appears in several series about a specific topic or individual. The search function in WordPerfect is useful for this type of action. Page ii Series Descriptions Original Writings, 1942-2000, 1.35 m. Volumes 1 to 6 and 143. Series consists of affidavits, articles, drafts of chapters of books, interviews, lectures, letters to newspaper editors, poems, speeches at conferences, statements and testimony before legislative bodies, on a variety of topics associated with human health and the environment. Major subject areas include: breast cancer, cancer causing phenomena, Chernobyl, ionizing radiation, nuclear technology and its consequences, nuclear power and civil rights, nuclear weapons, radioactivity, uranium, and women and the environment. The series also contains biographical material regarding Dr. Bertell. Published writings appear, for the most parts, in the English language but also in other languages, for instance, Finnish, French and Japanese. Rotary Work, Early Writings, 1976-1994, .66 m. Volumes 7 to 9. Series consists of writings, scientific research notes, poems, correspondence, reports, and printed matter relating to Dr. Bertell’s research and activities, including the preparation of a film on nuclear hazards, ionizing radiation, nuclear weapons, Chernobyl and her work in the Ukraine. Case Files, 1979-1999, 7.83 m. Volumes 10 to 42, 129, 132, 133, 137, 139, 140, 144- 150. Electronic records, 1991, 1994, Volumes 133, 137. 413,381 bytes. Series consists of the project or legal cases in which Dr. Bertell participated as an expert scientific witness for individuals or groups of people victimized by environmental disasters, in Canada, the United States, India, Ireland, Europe, Malaysia, the Marshall Islands and Scotland. Of particular Canadian interest are the projects associated with Caribou and Inuit, Mississauga First Nation Reserve, Health 2000 (Ontario), Kiggavik Uranium Mine, Ontario Hydro, Scarborough radioactive soil and Wollaston Lake, Saskatchewan. The case files are organized alphabetically by case and not by country. A majority of the documents are written in English but many other languages may be found in the series. Nuclear information used in “No Immediate Danger”, ca. 1973-1985, 2.500 m. Volumes 46 to 57. Series consists of publicity as well as research

Several of our members attended the Tempe meeting, at great expense. Everyone had to fly to the meeting since it was too far to drive. It’s 743 miles to Tempe from Andrews, Texas. Former State Rep. Lon Burnam from Ft. Worth, Humberto Acosta from Andrews, Rose Gardner from Eunice and Noel Marquez from Artesia, NM, and I joined others from New Mexico at the Tempe meeting. I was also able to attend the Minneapolis meeting and listened to several other meetings through internet.

  • Introduction
    Notes Introduction 1 “Beyond Anxiety,” editorial, New York Times, June 13, 1982, E22. 2 For the purposes of simplicity, this book refers to the assemblage of actors engaged in various types of activism against nuclear power, nuclear weapons, and other related threats as the “anti-nuclear movement.” Although I detail individual movements within the larger whole, the existence of substantial cross-pollination among movement organizations and coalitions indicates that a more appropriate term is the singular. On the idea of a “movement of movements,” see Van Gosse, “A Movement of Movements: The Definition and Periodization of the New Left,” in A Companion to Post-1945 America, ed. Jean-Christophe Agnew and Roy Rosenzweig (Malden, MA: Blackwell, 2002), 277–302. 3 On this diversity, see Jo Freeman and Victoria Johnson, eds, Waves of Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Lanham, MD: Rowman & Littlefield, 1999). See also Simon Hall, American Patriotism, American Protest: Social Movements Since the Sixties (Philadelphia: University of Pennsylvania Press, 2011). 4 See Fred Halliday, The Making of the Second Cold War (London: Verso, 1983). 5 On beginnings, see Lawrence S. Wittner, Toward Nuclear Abolition: A His- tory of the World Nuclear Disarmament Movement, 1971 to the Present (Stan- ford: Stanford University Press, 2003), Chapter 1. On the dwindling of the movement, see “Movement Gap,” editorial, Nation, 4 November 1991, 539–40. 6 The phrase “the challenge of peace” recalls the controversial pastoral letter issued in 1983 by the US National Conference of Catholic Bishops’ Ad Hoc Committee on War and Peace. Entitled “The Challenge of Peace: God’s Prom- ise and Our Response,” the letter attempted to define the Catholic Church’s opposition to the nuclear arms race.

But whether PIs or government ISFs (Interim Storage Facilities, so called), they should be free, fully informed, and genuinely consent-based sitings, as the Blue Ribbon Commission on America's Nuclear Future recommended in its Final Report in January 2012. For this reason, all of the public comments submitted to DOE during its so-called "consent-based siting" public comment period in 2016 still apply. The lead private initiative is by Waste Control Specialists, LLC in Andrews County, West Texas, followed by the Eddy-Lea [Counties] Energy Alliance in Hobbs, New Mexico (less than 50 miles from WCS); AFCI in Loving County, TX; and Culberson County, TX.

EDRS PRICE MF-$0.65 HC$13.16 DESCRIPTORS *Ecology; Environmental Criteria; *Environmental Education; Environmental Research; *Information Dissemination; *Mass Media; *News Media; Newspapers; Radio; Social Responsibility; Television IDENTIFIERS *San Francisco Bay Area ABSTRACT In an interdisciplinary study the role of the news media in environmental problems is examined. A description of the environmental problems of the San Francisco Bay Area and of the many news media which serve this area introduces this second volume of the study. The dimensions of the information explosion in the Bay Area news media are documented in quantitative terms. The study identifies the groups in the Bay Area which can be expected to use the information offered by the news media and the implications of this for the press. The difficulties for the press in reporting environmental deterioration and the damage caused by "environmental" advertising are pointed out. The study also examined: the difficulties of gaining access to information about the plans of public utilities; the interrelationship of a growing community and its newspapers and the possible effects of newspaper coverage of urban land use patterns; and the possibilities of getting along without the news media and becoming informed on one's own. The study concludes that the media have alerted the public to environmental hazards, but that continued efforts topinpointlocal problems will be necessary.
