On Dec. 12, <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=WodGH43rExxzAK%2FqTCEpw3xtQtvgWDAH">Ralph Nader, and Beyond Nuclear's Kevin Kamps, spoke</a> to the Climate Reality Check Coalition on why we must instead move toward a safe, sustainable, democratic, carbon-free and nuclear-free energy economy.<br />
<br />
On Nov. 3, Dr. James Hansen, now at Columbia University, and three other climate scientists, wrote an open letter urging the environmental community to embrace nuclear energy as necessary to meet the challenges of climate change. In response, we join with NIRS and the Civil Society Institute in urging organizations (no individual signatures, please) <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=a5pcZvAwC8UsNz9nyJXAWnxtQtvgWDAH">to sign and circulate this letter</a>, addressed to Dr. Hansen et al. To sign the letter, send your name, title (optional), organization name, city, and state to nirsnet@nirs.org by 5 PM Eastern on Friday, Dec. 20, 2013. This letter is based on <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=fMmDCw7m%2BRSi9Cox2sidBHxtQtvgWDAH">a longer paper</a> by NIRS and CSI. Beyond Nuclear is a proud supporter of Beyond Business As Usual and
its American Clean Energy Agenda, an environmental coalition effort, initiated by CSI and Environmental Working Group (EWG), to phase out dirty fossil fuels, nuclear power, and destructive forms of biomass, and replace them with energy efficiency and renewable sources, such as wind and solar power. <a rel="nofollow" target="_blank" href="http://org2.salsalabs.com/dia/track.jsp?v=2&c=9CFqfzXtJsATqT%2FmbUG3I3xtQtvgWDAH">More</a></div>

The explosion caused a fire that lasted more than an hour before it was contained and extinguished. This was the second significant accident this year at Entergy Corp’s two unit atomic power station located near Russellville, Arkansas. The earlier accident in 2013 killed a 24-year old worker, and injured 8 others. <a rel="nofollow" style="font-family:Verdana, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;font-size:12px;font-weight:normal;color:rgb(0, 49, 115);text-decoration:none;" target="_blank"
