Areva, A Lesson in How Not to Go Nuclear

Watch our Rockin' Stop Areva Rap

Areva, the largest nuclear supplier in the world, wants to build a $4 billion gas centrifuge uranium enrichment plant in eastern Idaho big enough to fuel 50 nuclear reactors. Areva’s profits would go to its home base in France. Areva’s product would go all over the world, though not to Idaho. Areva’s waste could remain above Idaho’s Snake River Aquifer for decades. The Nuclear Regulatory Commission should not license the Areva uranium factory. See "Help Stop Areva" tab above to get involved in the campaign.

CARBON-FREE AND NUCLEAR-FREE

To prevent climate change, the United States must phase out fossil fuels and nuclear energy by 2050. We can do this, according to both science and economics--all we need is the political will to make it happen.

The Plan: We can eliminate carbon emissions from the US energy system by 2050 without relying on nuclear power, and we have a plan to do it! The Carbon-Free, Nuclear-Free Roadmap for US energy policy shows in detail, step-by-step, how to get from here to the world we want to live in.

The Clean Dozen: The 12 most urgent policies to get to a Carbon-Free Nuclear-Free energy system.
