STAR FOUNDATION IS OPPOSED TO THE CONTINUED OPERATION OF NUCLEAR REACTORS.

The experiment of nuclear power has failed to live up to its many false promises. We refuse to continue to be the nuclear industry's guinea pigs.

Whereas radiation protection standards have been changed 7 times since they were first established and it has never been conclusively proven that any level of exposure to radiation is safe - WE CALL FOR THE ABOLISHMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER.

Whereas the routine radioactive emissions from reactors pose unacceptable health risks to the general public and especially children who are 10 to 20 times more sensitive to radiation exposure than adults because their cells are rapidly dividing - WE CALL FOR THE ABOLISHMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER.

Whereas the plants that create the fuel for nuclear reactors are the largest industrial plants in the world releasing significant amounts of CO2 into the atmosphere contributing greatly to global warming - WE CALL FOR THE OPPOSITION OF NUCLEAR POWER.

Whereas there are 5 tons of nuclear waste generated in this country every day and the solution for storing this waste that will remain deadly poisonous for half a million years has still not been resolved after 45 years of research and $3 billion dollars spent - WE CALL FOR THE ABOLISHMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER.

Whereas the deregulation of the electrical industry places even greater pressure on utilities to cut costs, which will increase the chance of accidents at reactors, that could cause untold devastation for generations to come - WE CALL FOR THE ABOLISHMENT OF NUCLEAR POWER.
