A single crack could release radioactivity into the soil, groundwater, and ocean. There is no proven method to repair or replace a breached canister onsite. The Samuel Lawrence Foundation and others are calling for real solutions. Read the full article here: vist.ly/4eeyf

We share Tim Lenton’s belief in ‘positive tipping points. SLF believes the path forward must remove nuclear waste that endangers communities and coastlines. "Positive Tipping Points: How to Fix the Climate Crisis" by Tim Lenton

The U.S. push to expand nuclear power dismisses over 95K metric tons of radioactive waste that remain without a permanent home. Until we solve storage, transport, and safety challenges, new reactors risk more costly, unresolved legacies. www.cnbc.com/2025/11/09/n... #NuclearWaste #EnergyPolicy

Americans paid $50B for nuclear waste disposal, yet the waste still sits on our coasts. Taxpayers deserve accountability. It’s time for leaders to reform the Nuclear Waste Policy Act and put safety and science before politics. #SanOnofre #PublicSafety www.ocregister.com/2025/10/29/w...

Former NRC Chair Dr. Gregory Jaczko joined Meet the Press, warning that renewed U.S. nuclear testing “makes no sense” and would benefit Russia and China. SLF stands with him: nuclear restraint and science—not detonations—protect global safety. www.nbcnews.com/meet-the-pre... #NuclearSafety

A contractor at Holtec’s Palisades Nuclear Plant fell into a water-filled reactor cavity. Though injuries were minor, the incident underscores the need for strict safety oversight as the company works to restart the aging facility. #NuclearSafety www.cbsnews.com/detroit/news...

🌊 Nuclear Waste in the Hudson River? A recent federal court decision reversed New York’s “Save the Hudson” law, clearing the way for Holtec to release up to 1.5 million gallons of (radioactive) wastewater into the Hudson River. @owenjamesburkeThank you for shining a light on this critical issue.

🌊 Thank You for Joining the Paddle Out for Peace 2025 🌊 So many came together, surfers, families, ocean lovers, and advocates, united by one purpose: protecting our coast and calling for the safe relocation of nuclear waste from San Onofre! #PaddleOutForPeace #SanOnofre #SLFcommunity

This updated explainer video from #businessindider produced by Elizabeth McCauley, that cuts through the myths. Waste stranded at San Onofre sits next to our coast and communities. We need a science-led, people-first path to move it off the beach and into proven long-term solutions. #nuclear

🌊 Paddle Out for Peace – Tomorrow! 🌊 Saturday, October 11 | 9:30 AM | San Clemente Pier ☕️ Fuel up next door! Grab a pre- or post-paddle bite at West Toast Café, located right by the pier local favorites, community vibes, and good energy all around! #PaddleOutForPeace #SanOnofre #Community

Crucial analysis from Kevin Kamps of @beyondnuclear.bsky.social on the economic and safety challenges behind the renewed push for nuclear power. His piece underscores why unresolved cost, waste, and regulatory issues continue to hinder nuclear’s viability. #EnergyPolicy thehill.com/opinion/ener...

🌊 Join Us! Paddle Out for San Onofre Saturday, October 11 • 9:30 AM • San Clemente Pier Join ocean lovers, activists, and community leaders for a powerful paddle out to raise awareness about the 3.6 million pounds of radioactive nuclear waste buried just 100 ft from the Pacific Ocean at San Onofre.

The DoD is weighing commercial leasing at Camp Pendleton—SoCal’s last open coast. With nuclear waste stored nearby at San Onofre, any land-use change must prioritize safety, resilience, and environmental protection. www.latimes.com/california/s... #CampPendleton #NuclearWaste #CoastalResilience

October 4th, we honor the incredible legacy of Walter Munk — the “Einstein of the Oceans.” 🌍💙 💡 “I’m interested in what’s happening and respond to it, and have had a very good time doing it.” – Walter Munk

Federal support for wind & solar is waning, making state action critical. Renewables are affordable & ready now, unlike nuclear, which is too costly & slow. The fight over siting will shape our clean energy future. #CleanEnergy #RenewableEnergy #ClimateAction insideclimatenews.org/news/2909202...

Decades of uranium enrichment in Ohio left communities with high cancer rates and contamination. As nuclear expands without waste solutions, the human cost grows. The future of humanity depends on safe, renewable energy. www.theguardian.com/us-news/2025... #NuclearWaste #PublicHealth #EnergyPolicy

Trump’s plan to expand nuclear relies on “recycling” waste into fuel, a risky technology critics say has failed for decades. With 90,000+ tons of spent fuel still in storage, building more reactors without a proven waste solution is dangerous. www.washingtonpost.com/business/202... #NuclearWaste

The climate movement is at a crossroads. @billmckibben.bsky.social new “Sun Day” shifts focus from protest to showcasing solar as affordable, practical, and hopeful, reflecting a broader search for strategies that can re-energize climate action. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/05/m... #ClimateAction

San Onofre’s decommissioning is 84% complete, with over 500M lbs of waste shipped. Safety remains strong, but public calls for more canister inspection transparency grow. Next: Oct. 16 seminar on storage & relocation. #SanOnofre #NuclearWaste #Decommissioning www.picketfencemedia.com/sanclementet...

Thanks to @terisforza.bsky.social for reporting on San Onofre. While the plant is 84% dismantled, nuclear waste remains. San Onofre may become a test site for new technology to monitor storage canisters. www.ocregister.com/2025/09/05/s... #SanOnofre #NuclearWaste #EnergyPolicy

14 years after Fukushima, 400+ thyroid cancer cases raise unresolved questions. Officials cite “over-screening,” but patients & experts demand answers, trust is as vital as science in nuclear safety. #Fukushima #NuclearSafety #PublicHealth #Transparency www.nytimes.com/2025/09/03/w...

Killing clean energy projects means killing jobs and raising bills. 64,000 jobs already lost or at risk. 400,000 more on the line. The future is clean energy—and that’s where we must invest.

Europe’s nuclear fleet is straining under climate extremes—hot rivers, drought, and flood risks cut output just as demand surges. Solar briefly overtook nuclear in July, showing the need for a resilient, diversified energy mix. www.aa.com.tr/en/environme... #ClimateResilience #EnergyTransition

In solidarity with @mothersforpeace.bsky.social + Alliance for Nuclear Responsibility, we oppose PG&E’s $723M charge to extend Diablo Canyon, shifting risks to ratepayers while stalling California’s renewable energy future. Read their filing: mothersforpeace.org/san-luis-obi... #EnergyJustice

AI’s growth carries a hidden climate cost. Data centers strain the grid, burn fossil fuels, and consume millions of gallons of water daily. 1 AI query can use 23x more energy than Google, driving emissions HIGH. #AI #EnergyDemand #ClimateChange #Sustainability apnews.com/article/ai-d...

Stanford’s Dr. Mark Jacobson analyzes why new nuclear faces long timelines, higher costs, and greater emissions than renewables—highlighting the urgency of scaling wind and solar for near-term climate goals. #ClimateScience #EnergyPolicy #Renewables nationalinterest.org/blog/energy-...

Eighty years is a lifetime and we’re losing the most compelling messengers about nuclear war. Frank Von Hippel also reminded me that because it’s been a lifetime since nuclear weapons were used that people think it can’t happen again. But disarming is as urgent as ever. apnews.com/article/japa...
