The New York Metropolitan area and outlying regions have over 24
million Americans living within 50 miles of a nuclear reactor.
The population density and the economic importance of this area is
a unique situation of global significance that requires special
attention.
In response, the STAR Foundation launched the Nuclear Security Campaign
that targeted the New York Metropolitan area as the demonstration area
to:
 |
Establish greater public safety protection from commercial nuclear power stations ringing the New York metropolitan area.
|
|
Study the available long-term power options.
|
|
Encourage safe and sustainable energy sources that provide affordable electricity.
