[SDCPJ] Urgent: Senate nuclear waste bill unacceptable--comment now

Please go here to take action: http://org2.salsalabs.com/o/5502/p/dia/action3/common/public/?action_KEY=14113

"Interim" storage does not benefit the public; rather it is a long-time nuclear industry goal. The utilities are liable for radioactive waste when it's on their property; when it's moved outside their gates, we taxpayers are liable. That's the real reason the industry wants this non-solution to the waste problem.

URGENT!

SENATE ENERGY COMMITTEE "DISCUSSION DRAFT" RADWASTE BILL IS UNACCEPTABLE

COMMENT TO COMMITTEE BY FRIDAY, MAY 24

NO "INTERIM" STORAGE; NO MOBILE CHERNOBYL

May 16, 2013

Dear Friends,

As we have been reporting to you for several months (for example, in our April 17 letter about National Radioactive Waste Action Day), the Senate Energy Committee has been working on new and comprehensive radioactive waste policy legislation.

The lead sponsors--Committee Chair Ron Wyden (D-OR), Ranking Member Lisa Murkowski (R-AK), Dianne Feinstein (D-CA) and Lamar Alexander (R-TN)--have now released a "discussion draft" of this legislation. You can read it and related documents on the Committee's website here.

In a somewhat unusual move, the Committee is accepting public comments on the draft bill. This is probably our final opportunity before a bill is formally introduced to make it clear: We will not accept "interim" storage of high-level radioactive waste; we will not accept our roads and railways burdened with thousands of casks of lethal nuclear waste moving to a "temporary" unsuitable location for the convenience of the nuclear power industry.

Add your voice now. Tell the Committee here that "interim" storage is unacceptable. Stop a Mobile Chernobyl. No Fukushima Freeways.

This discussion draft bill is modeled somewhat after the Department of Energy's Blue Ribbon Commission recommendations and on legislation introduced last Congress by retired Energy Committee chair Jeff Bingaman (D-NM). But unlike that bill, which linked an "interim" storage site to siting of a permanent repository, this discussion draft greatly weakens that link. And a separate proposal offered for comment by Sens. Feinstein and Alexander would weaken that linkage further. Without such linkage, the odds that any progress would be made toward a permanent solution to our radioactive waste problem grow slim indeed. Just the opposite; the absence of linkage makes it far more likely that a consolidated "interim" storage site would be a de facto permanent dump, regardless of whether it is suited for that.

The bill addresses issues beyond "interim" storage of waste; for example, taking the waste issue out of the Department of Energy and creating a new agency to handle the problem. But four of the eight questions the Committee asks for comment on address the "interim" storage issue, and our sample comments are limited to that issue. But please feel free to edit and expand on the sample letter provided on our action page. The eight questions are part of the documents available on the Senate Energy Committee's website.

In April, we provided several talking points on the radioactive waste issue; they are reproduced below. Feel free to adapt these if you choose to provide more extended comments than our sample letter. You can also find much more information and background about the issue on the Mobile Chernobyl page of our website here.

Comments to the Committee are due by Friday, May 24, so act now.

Thanks for all you do,

Some Talking Points
*"Consolidated interim storage" (sometimes just called "storage" by nuclear backers) would not reduce the number of sites now storing radioactive waste. Rather, it would increase the number of sites by the number of "interim" sites. Irradiated fuel from reactors (which is what high-level waste is) is too radioactively and thermally hot to be sent anywhere when it first comes out of the reactor core. It must be stored in pools for about five years. Until reactors are closed, every reactor will remain a de facto waste dump.

*An average truck-sized radwaste cask would carry the radiological equivalent of 40 Hiroshima bombs; a rail cask would hold 200 Hiroshima bombs worth of radiation. Tens of thousands of these casks would travel our nation's roads, railways and waterways over the next 30 years--through major cities and across America's agricultural heartland. Accidents happen.

*"Interim" storage sites are by definition not suitable for permanent storage. Yet there is a real risk that they would become permanent sites. No state--understandably--wants a permanent storage site within its borders. "Interim" sites would provide the illusion of a solution and ease the pressure to find a permanent solution to our radioactive waste problem.

*And if a permanent site is found, then the waste would need to be moved again--a completely unnecessary risk. Accidents are far more likely to occur when the waste is moving than when it is stationary.

*"Interim" storage does not benefit the public; rather it is a long-time nuclear industry goal. The utilities are liable for radioactive waste when it's on their property; when it's moved outside their gates, we taxpayers are liable. That's the real reason the industry wants this non-solution to the waste problem.

*President Clinton vetoed interim storage legislation, and Congress upheld that veto. Nothing has changed that makes interim storage safer or more desirable since then. The only reason this is being considered is nuclear industry persistence.

*Current on-site storage of radioactive waste is inadequate. Fuel pools are overly full, are generally outside containment, and need offsite electric power to maintain cooling. Waste should be removed from pools at the earliest time possible and put into secure dry casks sited and hardened to prevent attack or destruction by natural disaster. The anti-nuclear/environmental movement's Principles for Safeguarding Nuclear Waste at Reactors explain this HOSS concept. Read them here.

[SDCPJ] All Out For Palestine TODAY! Los Angeles and San Diego Nakba Demos

Sixty Fifth Year of Nakba Demonstrations in Los Angeles and San Diego

Wednesday May 15, 2013

No Return = No Justice = No Peace!

Stop US Complicity! End All US Aid to the Zionist State!

Of all Zionist war crimes, none was as massive as that committed in the 1948
era with the wholesale expulsion of the Palestinian Arab people from their
homes, towns and villages, as part of a calculated plan to uproot an entire
population and empty the land of its indigenous inhabitants.

The Nakba ("Catastrophe" in Arabic) of 1948 refers to this planned ethnic
cleansing when the vast majority of Palestinians were ruthlessly attacked,
massacred and driven from their homes into refugee camps by Zionist terror
groups, and denied their right to return in violation of international law.
This is the foundation upon which "Israel" was established and upon which
its entire existence is built and remains structurally unsteady, morally
corrupt, and legally culpable.

Article 49 of the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 states, without any
ambiguity whatsoever, that "Individual or mass forcible transfers, as well
as deportations of protected persons from occupied territory to the
territory of the Occupying Power or to that of any other country, occupied
or not, are prohibited, regardless of their motive."

Join us as we mark the 65th year of Al-Nakba

The Event Program

Movie presentation of Free Angela and all Political Prisoners

Free Angela is a gripping historic account of the events that catapulted a young University of California philosophy professor into a controversial political icon in the turbulent late 1960’s. Angela Davis joins the Communist Party, protests with the Black Panthers, and becomes a principle spokesperson for the burgeoning prison reform movement. As a result, she finds herself Fighting to keep her job, and in the national media spotlight characterized by her many detractors as a dangerous subversive menace, and by her supporters as a strong leader challenging authority and boldly advocating for “Power to All People.” So on August 7th, 1970, when Angela is implicated in the politically motivated kidnapping and murder of a judge in a brazen daylight shootout at the Marin County, CA courthouse, the nation wonders and Newsweek magazine asks: “What would prompt the daughter of the black bourgeoisie to take a desperate turn to terrorism?” Angela flees California, convinced she will not be given a fair trial and is placed on the FBI’s 10 Most Wanted list. After a national manhunt she is captured two months later in New York City. Charged with murder, kidnapping and conspiracy, Angela is put on trial in one of the most sensational court cases of its time. After a two-year legal battle, an all white jury acquits her on all charges in 1972. It’s an edge-of-your seat thriller told for the first time by Angela and others who lived through the events firsthand. The interviews recount the politics that led her to challenge authority and spur a worldwide movement for her freedom that cemented Angela Davis, and her signature Afro hairstyle, as an iconic symbol of this still relevant political and social movement — the right to challenge the system. Free Angela is a must see documentary! A candid and powerful account of the tumultuous times and a woman who challenges a society that is afraid of all that she represents. Filled with elements of intrigue, suspense and conspiracies, the film delivers by empowering and inspiring diverse international audiences with its message of hope and redemption. You know her name. Now, you will finally know her story. Follow the conversation on Twitter! #FreeAngela

[SDCPJ] Big news! Nuclear panel rules San Onofre restart requires public hearing

Nuclear panel rules San Onofre restart requires public hearing: Thomson Reuters 

http://t.co/nPhKUaHjGd We will be heard under oath. This is some big news.

HOUSTON, May 13 (Reuters) - An independent nuclear regulatory panel on Monday called for a full public hearing on the proposed restart of one of the two damaged San Onofre nuclear reactors, a move that could delay Southern California Edison's effort to operate the plant this summer.

The Atomic Safety and Licensing Board ruling favored petitioner Friends of the Earth, a group that sought a hearing on the Nuclear Regulatory Commission's (NRC 0.00%) restart process regarding steam generator issues at the San Onofre nuclear power plant.

Both reactors at the 2,150-megawatt San Onofre nuclear station, halfway between Los Angeles and San Diego, have been shut since January 2012 following discovery of a serious problem with accelerated degradation of tubes in the units' new steam generators.

SCE, a unit of Edison International, is seeking approval from the NRC to restart San Onofre 2 this summer and to run the unit at a reduced rate for five months.

The three-member board of administrative judges, independent of the NRC staff, conducts adjudicatory hearings on major agency licensing actions.

[SDCPJ] UndocuQueer in San Diego

UndocuQueer in San Diego

Friday, May 24, 2013

7:00pm until 9:00pm

Centro Cultural de la Raza

2004 Park Blvd., San Diego, California 92101

Join the San Diego DREAM Team and Canvass for a Cause for a local discussion on UNDOCUQUEER, the real story of queer immigrants here in San Diego.

How are the stories of coming out as queer and coming out as undocumented similar? How are they different? What are factors that make it hard to organize here in San Diego, and how do we face that challenge? How does this affect families? And what would TRUE queer-inclusive immigration reform look like? Join us at El Centro Cultural de la Raza to hear some answers and continue building the movement!

WHY DO WE USE THE WORD QUEER?

Although originally used as a slur and offensive word, QUEER has since been reclaimed by the LGBTQIA community. It represents being outside of the heteronormative mindset or the gender binary. It is often seen as an umbrella term for those who do not identify as "straight" or "cisgender," including pansexual, bisexual, gender queer and other sexualities and identities.

---------------------------------------------------------------

Únase con el San Diego DREAM Team y Canvass for a Cause para una discusión local sobre UNDOCUQUEER, la verdadera historia de los inmigrantes queer aquí en San Diego.

¿Como son las historias de saliendo del closet y de saliendo como indocumentado similar? ¿Como son las historias diferentes? ¿Cuáles son factores que hacen difícil la organizacion aquí en San Diego, y cómo nos enfrentamos a este desafío? ¿Cómo afecta a las familias? ¿Y qué sería el verdadero LGBT-incluido reforma migratoria? ¡Únase con nosotros en El Centro Cultural de la Raza para escuchar algunas respuestas y continuar construyendo el movimiento!

¿POR QUE USAMOS LA PALABRA "QUEER"?

Aunque originalmente utilizado como un insulto y una palabra ofensiva, QUEER ya que ha sido reclamado por la comunidad LGBTQIA. Representa estar fuera de la mentalidad heteronormative o el binario de género. Se ve a menudo como un término general para aquellos que no se identifican como "recta" o "cisgénero", incluyendo pansexual, bisexuales, no conformista a base de género y otras sexualidads y identidades.

****ATTENTION ARTISTS / ATENCION A LAS ARTISTAS****

We are looking to display art (5-10 pieces) the night of the event, particularly themed or inspired by queer or immigrant experiences or artists. Please contact field@canvassforacause.org if you are interested in displaying or want more details.

Queremos demostrar arte (5-10 piezas) la noche del evento, sobre todo con temas o inspirados por las experiencias o los artistas queer o inmigrantes. Por favor, póngase en contacto con field@canvassforacause.org si usted está interesado en mostrar o quiere más detalles.

[SDCPJ] Fwd: Send comments to NRC by May 16th - Don't lower San Onofre safety standards - stop restart of defective San Onofre Nuclear Plant

Friends of the Earth has an automated process for us to send comments to the NRC regarding the NRC plan to approve reducing San Onofre safety standards. If the NRC approves the reduced safety standards, it will potentially lead to an early restart of the defective San Onofre Unit 2 nuclear reactor. We must tell the NRC to reject Edison's experimental restart plans and demand a public hearing before any decisions.
