Nuclear Energy Information Services

Nuclear Energy Information Service is a non-profit organization committed to ending nuclear power and advocating for sustainable ecologically sound and socially just energy solutions.

To accomplish this end, NEIS:

• Educates, activates and organizes the public on energy issues.
• Builds and mobilizes grass roots power and nonviolent opposition to nuclear power.
• Advocates sustainable and ecologically sound energy alternatives.
• because of the tremendous disasters it could cause and has caused. Among the most prominent of the many nuclear disasters and mishaps experienced worldwide to date are Fukushima, Japan (2011), Chornobyl in the Ukraine (1986), Three Mile Island (1979) and Brown’s Ferry (1975) in the USA, and Windscale, England (1957);
• because of the routine, allowed releases of radionuclides into the environment by less than diligent regulators; and
• because of the environmental damage caused by every step of the nuclear fuel chain.
• nuclear power is not needed. Renewable energy resources (like hydro-power, wind, and solar) already produce as much total net energy as does nuclear power. Energy conservation and efficiency can save us far greater amounts of electricity (and do so at a lower cost) than is produced by all nuclear power plants in operation in the U.S. today.
• it contributes worldwide to the uncontrolled spread of nuclear expertise, materials, technology, and eventually weapons, as has been demonstrated in Korea, India, Pakistan, Israel, and presumed in Iran;
• there is a great and increased risk of a terrorist incident at a nuclear plant or – surprisingly, much more dangerous – at radioactive waste storage sites, and along proposed transportation routes.
