ZOMBIE NUKES?! Duane Arnold restart risks
ZOMBIE NUKES?!
Duane Arnold restart risks
On September 29, Iowa’s Sierra Club Chapter hosted a press conference to address NextEra’s proposal to restart Duane Arnold, which has been in decommissioning status since August 2020, when a derecho led to a close call with catastrophe at this Fukushima Daiichi twin-design atomic reactor. Speakers included Dr. Mark Jacobson of Stanford, Joe Mangano of the Radiation and Public Health Project, Don Safer of Sierra Club’s Grassroots Network Nuclear Free Team, and Wally Taylor (pictured), Conservation and Legal Chair of Sierra Club’s Iowa Chapter. Taylor is also co-counsel of our environmental coalition’s legal resistance to Holtec’s Palisades zombie reactor restart in Michigan, the precedent NextEra is following. He won our 2024 “Dr. Judith H. Johnsrud Unsung Hero Award.”
