  • Dear President Obama
    OPEN LETTER TO PRESIDENT OBAMA FROM U.S. ORGANIZATIONS Mr. President: It’s time to move from talk to action on nuclear disarmament. April 28, 2014 Dear President Obama, During the closing session of the Nuclear Security Summit in The Hague on March 25, 2014, you cited a number of concrete measures to secure highly-enriched uranium and plutonium and strengthen the nuclear nonproliferation regime that have been implemented as a result of the three Nuclear Security Summits, concluding: “So what’s been valuable about this summit is that it has not just been talk, it’s been action.” Would that you would apply the same standard to nuclear disarmament! On April 5, 2009 in Prague, you gave millions of people around the world new hope when you declared: “So today, I state clearly and with conviction America’s commitment to seek the peace and security of a world without nuclear weapons.” Bolstered by that hope, over the past three years, there has been a new round of nuclear disarmament initiatives by governments not possessing nuclear weapons, both within and outside the United Nations. Yet the United States has been notably “missing in action” at best, and dismissive or obstructive at worst. This conflict may come to a head at the 2015 Review of the Nuclear Nonproliferation Treaty (NPT). We write now, on the eve of the third Preparatory Committee (PrepCom) meeting for the 2015 Review Conference of the NPT, which will take place at UN headquarters in New York April 28 – May 9, 2014, to underscore our plea that your administration shed its negative attitude and participate constructively in deliberations and negotiations regarding the creation of a multilateral process to achieve a nuclear weapons free world.

  • Statement of Non-Governmental Organizations on Plutonium Disposition
    Statement of Non-Governmental Organizations on Plutonium Disposition June 15, 1999 The nuclear arms race has left the United States and Russia with large plutonium stockpiles. Both countries have had terrible experience with plutonium processing and its attendant wastes. Contamination of areas such as Hanford, Savannah River, and Rocky Flats in the United States, and Chelyabinsk, Tomsk, and Krasnoyarsk in Russia demonstrates the hazards of plutonium processing, and the poor environmental and safety culture of the US Department of Energy (DOE) and the Russian Ministry of Atomic Energy (Minatom). With the end of the Cold War, we have the opportunity to redirect resources from nuclear weapons programs into cleaning up the legacy of nuclear weapons development, and to other needed programs. Under the pressure of people of both countries, the governments of the US and Russia have between them declared 100 metric tons of plutonium (roughly one-third of the total) to be "surplus" to military needs. We recognize the need for this plutonium to be stored as safely as possible, and to be converted into non-weapons-usable forms. However, we are deeply disturbed by the primary method by which this conversion is planned. We are convinced that using surplus weapons plutonium in fuel for nuclear reactors (known as mixed-oxide or MOX fuel) is not an acceptable solution. A better method of disposition would be to immobilize the plutonium -- that is, to mix it with ceramic or glass and to provide a radioactive barrier to further prevent theft and diversion. We are very concerned about the safety risks of using MOX fuel in existing reactors, almost none of which are designed to run on plutonium fuel.

The sponsors of HB 104 seek to “break the light-water reactor mold and free the market to realize our energy future.” We believe HB 104 will break the bank and destroy Ohio’s chances for a safe energy future. Our energy future has no room for another generation of nuclear power plants and their bloated overrunning costs, corporate welfare handouts, health experimentation with whole populations and the natural environment, all in the name of nursing a fragile technology that can only aggravate the expense and dangers of climate chaos. At this pivotal moment when humanity must end its carbon fuels addiction, expand genuine renewable energy sources and maximize efficiency and conservation, betting billions of taxpayer dollars on a governmental nuclear chamber of commerce is beyond irresponsible; it is absurd.

  • Testimony of Thomas Devine, Government Accountability Project
    TESTIMONY OF THOMAS DEVINE, GOVERNMENT ACCOUNTABILITY PROJECT before the SUBCOMMITTEE ON OVERSIGHT OF GOVERNMENT MANAGEMENT, THE FEDERAL WPRKFORCE AND THE DISTRICT OF COLUMBIA, SENATE COMMITTEE ON HOMELAND SECURITY AND GOVERNMENTAL AFFAIRS COMMITTEE on S. 372 THE WHISTLEBLOWER PROTECTION ENHANCEMENT ACT June 11, 2009 Thank you for inviting this testimony on legislation to put protection back in the Whistleblower Protection Act (WPA). Until now, the new millennium has been the Dark Ages – unprecedented levels of corruption, sustained by secrecy and enforced through repression. This legislation is necessary to turn on the light just in time. Already this year we have embarked on the largest spending program in government history through the stimulus law. We are on the verge of landmark societal overhauls to prevent medical care disasters for America’s families due to national health insurance, and to prevent environmental disasters for the whole planet from global warming. We have been shamed by torture and widespread domestic surveillance. The President has promised the taxpayers will get their money’s worth, and that never again will America betray the core values of freedom, and humanity. That commitment is a fantasy unless public servants have the freedom to bear witness, whether it is the freedom to warn of disasters before they happen, or to protest abuses of power that betray the public trust. Timely passage of genuine whistleblower rights also would be a signal that new Congressional leadership is serious about three basic taxpayer commitments that require best practices accountability checks and balances —1) getting our money’s worth from unprecedented stimulus spending; 2) locking in checks and balances to keep honest the new markets created by health care and climate change laws; and 3) informed oversight so that the next time abuses of human rights abroad and freedom at home will end while they are the exception, instead of the rule after eight years of secrecy.
