Review for Nuclear Information & Resource Service, Takoma Park, MD, USA
My first major experience with NIRS was back circa 1990 when Diane D'Arrigo lit a fire under me re the implications of the radioactive waste dump then-planned for California. We had already been working with NIRS to stop the BRC (below regulatory concern) program that would have allowed radwaste to be mixed into the scrap metal destined for consumer use. Through Diane, Michael, Mary et al's help and NIRS in general, we were able to mount a sucessful campaign to defeat the nuclear industry plans. NIRS continues to provide in depth information, catalyze action and promote solutions to the daunting and longest lasting environmental hazard, ionizing radiation. They've been consistently professional, thorough and persistent in the face of this extreme challenge. Their work is vital in the U.S. as well as in concert with others globally. We'd have a more radioactive world if it weren't for NIRS.

What I've enjoyed the most about my experience with this nonprofit is...
the feeling of deep kinship in facing the nuclear menace. For many, many years they've connected us with experts, information and know-how to empower us and other activists here in the U.S. and beyond. Knowing they're on the job brings me comfort.
