RE: Missouri Coalition for the Environment

["Weiner, Ruth" <rfweine@sandia.gov>]

Thanks, Jeffrey, for publishing this.  We are supporting some meetings for
NRC on testing and modeling how spent fuel transportation casks respond to
severe accidents ("Modal Study II" for those who know about the Modal
Study). A number of knowledgeable people (both pro- and anti-nuke) were
invited to the public meetings we had.   Some anti-nuke groups have already
taken this on (e.g., Public Citizen's web page).  Transcripts of two of the
three public meetings are on the study's web page:
http:///ttd.sandia.gov/nrc/modal.htm.  I would like to encourage RADSAFERs
to access the web page and send us comments via the web page email.  All
comments will be considered and responded to, and posted on the web page in
some form.

Thanks for your attention to this.

Subject: Missouri Coalition for the Environment


Radsafers,

After hearing an advertisement on community radio in St. Louis for an open
house for the Missouri Coalition for the Environment, I decided to attend to
check them out.  
Things learned:

The Coalition is not very strong - It was an open house with free alcohol
and food with only ten people attending.

The main part of their agenda is anti-nuclear

They are almost discarding the cancer angle and going for damage to the
immune system as the primary reason to be anti nuclear.

They only gave me Gofman's views as credible and did not push Caldicutt,
Stewart or any one else.

	The transportation view of the Atomic bomb moving through your
neighborhood.

	I also found out the NRC meeting about Yucca mountain in St. Louis
is set for January 26th.

	Lets try and get as many Radsafers as possible.
