Review for Nuclear Information & Resource Service, Takoma Park, MD, USA
Nuclear issues, including energy, mining, waste and weapons, are very important to me. I constantly use the NIRS website and action alerts to stay involved and knowledgeable about the complex environmental, social and economic impacts of nuclear energy - nationally and globally. NIRS provides an invaluable resource to those who are committed to pushing for energy policies that protect the environment. The staff and publications of NIRS provide information that lay people can understand, yet is based on sound scientific research and peer review. NIRS helps advocates for alternative energy sources stay efficiently engaged.
