Subject: (abolition-usa) NIF letter/your sign-on is needed by cob 4/23

Dear colleagues:

Below is a letter we are asking your organization to sign. We have more
than 50 groups already signed on -- and we need your help to reach our goal
of 100 groups! The letter requests cancellation of the National Ignition
Facility. (NIF is a new nuclear weapons facility under construction at
Livermore Lab in California.)

We have extended the deadline for sign-on until close of business on
Monday, April 23 -- but after that may be too late. Please send your name,
your title (if applicable), your group's name, and your group's address.
You may sign on by hitting the reply button or by sending a fresh email to
[e-mail], or by phone at [phone] or fax at (925)
443-0177.

Thank you to those who have already signed-on!!! And, sorry for
cross-postings. Here is the letter...

April XX, 2001

To:     The President of the United States, George W. Bush
        The Secretary of Energy of the United States, Spencer Abraham
        The Members of the United States Senate
        The Members of the United States House of Representatives

Dear Mr. President, Mr. Secretary and Members of Congress:

We are a broad-based network of _______# of taxpayer, nuclear "watchdog,"
environmental and other public interest groups that have signed this letter
expressly to support the recommendation made in the recently-released
"Green Scissors 2001" report to terminate funding for the Department of
Energy's National Ignition Facility (NIF).

"Green Scissors 2001," is a national study outlining 74 programs that, if
cut, would save taxpayers more than $55 billion and protect our
environment.

One of the key recommendations of this report is that the NIF mega-laser
should be cut and its construction terminated. "Relying on existing
laboratory capabilities rather than wastefully expensive new facilities
would save taxpayers approximately $10 billion over the 30-year lifetime of
the project," states the NIF recommendation in "Green Scissors 2001."

"Green Scissors 2001" finds that NIF should be canceled for the following
reasons:

*       NIF burns billions of taxpayer dollars on an experimental program
that continues to be plagued  with cost, schedule and technical problems;

*       NIF will create radioactive wastes;

*       Livermore Laboratory, where NIF is under construction, is already a
Superfund site requiring priority clean-up - not more waste;

*       NIF offers no commercial use;

*       NIF is the most expensive element of DOE's "Stockpile Stewardship"
program and the least relevant to maintenance of the existing
arsenal; and,

*       NIF undermines U.S. nonproliferation goals.

The recommendation for NIF taken from "Green Scissors 2001" is enclosed for
your reference, and the full report is available on the web at
www.greenscissors.org.

Prudent spending of our tax dollars, care and concern for our environment
and wise decision-making  for our future all necessitate the immediate
termination of the NIF project at the Lawrence Livermore National
Laboratory. We urge you to cut NIF now, before even more monies are wasted.


Respectfully,

Marylia Kelley

Livermore, CA

YOUR NAME, TITLE, ORGANIZATION'S NAME AND LOCATION GO HERE.
PLEASE LET US KNOW YOUR GROUP CAN SIGN THE LETTER . THE DEADLINE FOR
SIGN-ONS HAS BEEN EXTENDED TO APRIL 23, 2001. THANK YOU FOR YOUR HELP.

3) U.S. Taxes Underwrite Nuke Plants Overseas

Top Ten Censored Stories of 2000: Exposing the News that Didn't
Make the News - Award to: Ken Silverstein and Ian Urbina, The Progressive

"Here's a story you probably won't see on CBS." So begins Silverstein and
Urbina's expose of the U.S. Export-Import Bank's foreign nuclear power plant
deals. The writers start smugly for good reason: Westinghouse, which built
unsafe and overpriced Ex-Im-backed nuclear power plants, owns the CBS network.
And sure enough CBS did not cover the story.

The U.S. Export-Import Bank is a government agency that underwrites exports
through tax-payer backed loans. As the writers document, between 1959 and 1993,
it spent $7.7 billion to help sell American-made reactors overseas. The reason
for this "help," however, was not altruistic. U.S. nuclear contractors like
Westinghouse, Bechtel and General Electric have watched their home markets
shrink, as nuclear power has become riddled with risks and uncertainties. Thus
they have searched for clients abroad. Since most countries can't afford to buy
nuclear power facilities, the contractors often provide financing backed by
Ex-Im and you.

Often, contractors make windfall profits from such loans. In 1985, Westinghouse
built the Bataan nuclear power facility in the Philippines at a cost of $1.2
billion, 150 percent above projections. The plant was situated near an active
volcano and never generated a single watt of energy. Nevertheless, the
Philippines pays $300,000 a day in interest on the loan that funded the
project. Of course, none of this should be a huge surprise -- the leader of the
council overseeing Ex-Im loans is also the head honcho at Westinghouse.

We, Korea Eco-Center, are young environmental movement group in Korea, mainly
acting against nuclear-powered energy policy. Now there are 16 nuclear power
plants in operation and 4 additional plants have been under construction for
more electricity demands in future. Furthermore, the government has a plan to
build nuclear waste storage as one of the nuclear-powered energy policy project
and made an offer for public subscription of a site to local autonomous
entities. The closing day of the public subscription is 28 June.

Though Korea Electric Power Corporation(KEPCO) cannot guarantee the management
of nuclear wastes, it is appeasing local residents with about 40 million US
dollars to secure a site. We express clearly our dissatisfaction to authorities
concerned and KEPCO and will give out a statement against nuclear policy in our
land.

We have a signature-collecting campaign against supporting nuclear
technologies.

Please sign petition. Write your name, organization and nation and send by

A protest Statement against nuclear policy of South Korea

We are concerned about energy policy focusing on nuclear power plants.
Chernobyl and Three Mile Island accidents already got rid of a large number of
lives and millions of people have suffered from them until now. Besides this,
the economic losses in Soviet Union and USA are tremendous. But government
authorities boast of its ranking first in the national average capacity factors
ranged from a high of 94%, neglecting the past catastrophes, and push the
construction of nuclear waste storage.

In fact Korea has not yet had large-scale nuclear accidents like those of
Chernobyl and Three Mile Island. But there are so many troubles including
leakage of heavy water, reactor shutdown, cracked inner wall, radiation
exposure to workers, deformed livestock, etc. The nuclear waste storage is
extremely more dangerous than nuclear power station. Researches into management
of high level radioactive wastes have been made a lot of times but they have
not led to any reliable safety supervision technique at present. In particular
the reason why nuclear waste storage construction plan cause trouble so much is
that that is under way with the intention of building new nuclear power
station.

We are against nuclear energy use. 'Atom for peace' is a lie and cannot cheat
all of us any more. We urge government to repeal nuclear energy policy before
people lose their lives, health and happiness. And doing so, it is also
necessary for government authorities to open the methods of disposing of
nuclear wastes to the public.
