65 groups resist DOE’s HALEU availability program

65 organizations, including Beyond Nuclear, commented on the U.S. Department of Energy’s (DOE) High-Assay Low-Enriched Uranium (HALEU) program. They expressed deep concerns about: environmental contamination of already heavily-contaminated low-income communities, as in and around Portsmouth, Ohio; nuclear weapons proliferation risks; etc.

See the coalition comment letter, here.

The letter was spearheaded by attorney Terry Lodge, based in Toledo, Ohio. He serves as legal counsel for Beyond Nuclear on HALEU matters, as well as for Ohio Nuclear-Free Coalition and Don’t Waste Michigan.
